Nginx Formula

Nginx is an open source reverse proxy server for HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP protocols, as well as a load balancer, HTTP cache, and a web server (origin server). The nginx project started with a strong focus on high concurrency, high performance and low memory usage.

Sample Pillars

Gitlab server setup

nginx:
  server:
    enabled: true
    bind:
      address: '0.0.0.0'
      ports:
      - 80
    site:
      gitlab_domain:
        enabled: true
        type: gitlab
        name: domain
        ssl:
          enabled: true
          key: |
            -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
            ...
          cert: |
            xyz
          chain: |
            my_chain..
        host:
          name: gitlab.domain.com
          port: 80

Simple static HTTP site

nginx:
  server:
    site:

          name: gitlab.domain.com
          port: 80

nginx:
  server:
    upstream:
      horizon-upstream:
        backend1:
          address: 10.10.10.113
          port: 8078
          opts: weight=3
        backend2:
          address: 10.10.10.114

          deny:
          - 192.168.1.2
