=====
nginx
=====

Install nginx either by source or by package.

.. note::


    See the full `Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions
    <http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/development/conventions/formulas.html>`_.

Available states
================

.. contents::
    :local:

``nginx``
---------

Runs the states to install nginx, configure the common files, and the users.

``nginx.common``
----------------

Ensures standard nginx files are in place, and configures enabled sites.

``nginx.luajit2``
-----------------

Installs luajit.

``nginx.openresty``
-------------------

Installs openresty.

``nginx.package``
-----------------

Installs the nginx package via package manager.

``nginx.source``
----------------

Installs nginx via the source files.

``nginx.users``
---------------

Installs apache utils, and configures nginx users specified in the pillar. 
This requires `basicauth <https://github.com/saltstack/salt-contrib/blob/master/modules/basicauth.py>`_ 
from `salt-contrib <https://github.com/saltstack/salt-contrib/>`_ (either add it to your salt or ship 
this single file in your `_modules` directory see `Dynamic Module Distribution 
<https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/file_server/dynamic-modules.html>`_

Next-generation, alternate approach
===================================

The following states provide an alternate approach to managing Nginx and Nginx
servers, as well as code organization. Please provide feedback by filing issues,
discussing in ``#salt`` in Freenode and the mailing list as normal.

.. contents::
    :local:

``nginx.ng``
------------

Meta-state for inclusion of all ng states.

**Note:** nginx.ng requires the merge parameter of salt.modules.pillar.get(),
first available in the Helium release.

``nginx.ng.pkg``
--------------------

Installs nginx from package, from the distribution repositories, the official nginx repo or the ppa from Launchpad.

``nginx.ng.src``
--------------------

Builds and installs nginx from source.

``nginx.ng.config``
-------------------

Manages the nginx main server configuration file.

``nginx.ng.service``
--------------------

Manages the startup and running state of the nginx service.

``nginx.ng.servers_config``
--------------------------

Manages virtual host files. This state only manages the content of the files
and does not bind them to service calls.

``nginx.ng.servers``
-------------------

Manages nginx virtual hosts files and binds them to service calls.

``nginx.ng.passenger``
----------------------

Installs and configures Phusion Passenger module for nginx. You need to enable
the upstream phusion passenger repository with `install_from_phusionpassenger: true`. 
Nginx will also be installed from that repository, as it needs to be modified to
allow the passenger module to work.
