Use official Nginx package

Extracted from #1197

Note: this will not re-install Nginx if you re-provision an already provisioned server since it's the same apt package name.

Question: What is the procedure to reinstall Nginx with the official ppa?

[swalkinshaw]

You'd have to manually uninstall via apt-get remove nginx after running these changes; then provision again to install from the new package. I don't know of a better/different way.

Would an ansible force-reinstall make sense? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34260658/how-do-i-force-reinstall-a-package-with-ansible

[swalkinshaw]

@strarsis probably, but I'm wary of coding that by default into Trellis. Especially since it involves an uninstall + reinstall which means downtime.

edit: there's downtime necessary anyway, but I'd rather people know that and do it explicitly

Setting nginx_package_state: latest worked for me in re-provisioning.

@mockey: Even better, when a specific nginx release is used that is from the official PPA, so the nginx version is locked in, without installing just the latest available one.

[swalkinshaw]

latest works in this specific case... but I think it could lead to unintended upgrades or breaking changes?
