[Pkg-nginx-maintainers] Bug#1000406: nginx-common: Nginx starts before DNS is ready

[Jeremy Ouellet]

Package: nginx-common
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I was messing with nginx remote proxy and found that it would crash on 
startup.
I looked into the service file and it depended on network.target. I 
changed it
to network-online.target so that it would work.

I beleive that nginx should wait for the network to be online before 
starting
as this makes it so you can use domain names in proxy_pass. I googled 
for this
issue and most people just give workarounds and I feel like the use 
cases for
using just nework.target are minimal.
