   * - WARNING: BREAKING CHANGES SINCE ``v1.0.0``
   * - Prior to
       `v1.0.0 <https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/nginx-formula/releases/tag/v1.0.0>`_,
       this formula provided two methods for managing NGINX;
       the old method under ``nginx`` and the new method under ``nginx.ng``.
       The old method has now been removed and ``nginx.ng`` has been promoted to
       be ``nginx`` in its place.

       If you are not in a position to migrate, please pin your repo to the final
       release tag before
       `v1.0.0 <https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/nginx-formula/releases/tag/v1.0.0>`_,
       i.e.
       `v0.56.1 <https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/nginx-formula/releases/tag/v0.56.1>`_.

       To migrate from ``nginx.ng``, simply modify your pillar to promote the
       entire section under ``nginx:ng`` so that it is under ``nginx`` instead.
       So with the editor of your choice, highlight the entire section and then
       unindent one level.  Finish by removing the ``ng:`` line.

       To migrate from the old ``nginx``, first convert to ``nginx.ng`` under
       `v0.56.1 <https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/nginx-formula/releases/tag/v0.56.1>`_
       and then follow the steps laid out in the paragraph directly above.

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

.. contents::
    :local:

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

Meta-state for inclusion of all states.

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

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

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

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

Builds and installs nginx from source.

``nginx.certificates``
----------------------

Manages the deployment of nginx certificates.

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

Manages the nginx main server configuration file.

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

Manages the startup and running state of the nginx service.

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

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

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

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

``nginx.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.
