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``
-------------------

``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.
