The project describes it as a drop-in replacement, so existing nginx setups can move over without major changes to module setup or configuration. The [migration guide](https://en.angie.software/angie/docs/configuration/migration/) replaces a packaged nginx with a packaged Angie on the same host. The [installation guide](https://en.angie.software/angie/docs/installation/) lists binary packages for most Linux distributions and FreeBSD, Docker images and a source build. The server runs as a master process with worker processes. The docs include a guide to OpenID Connect sign-in.\n\n## Worth knowing\n\nAngie PRO is a commercial edition with features the open-source version lacks. Its binary packages sit in a private repository, and access requires a contract and a license."}
