Ubuntu PPA seems to not be maintained that much... switch to nginx packages?

See: http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#Ubuntu

The Ubuntu PPA this role currently uses doesn't support 20.04 at all, and seems to be maintained sporadically at best.

A couple options: use system packages (can lag nginx stable), like we do for debian, or incorporate the deb repo from nginx directly.

Not a high priority since nginx_ppa_use: false is the default... but it might be worth doing.

The versions of nginx available in that old PPA have known security vulnerabilities.

It looks like nginx now maintains their own apt repository which does have up-to-date versions: https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/tutorials/install/#official-debian-ubuntu-packages I'd recommend changing nginx_ppa_use: true to use that instead of the old, unmaintained PPA deprecating nginx_ppa_use in favor of some new flag like nginx_repo_use which enables use of their official repository.
