What is webserver project?

It is a bash script that:

• installs basic things you need on linux web server
• configures vim with reasonable minimal set of settings
• installs and configure database servers (mysql, posgtres, mongodb, redis)
• installs nginx
• installs python environment (uwsgi, virtualenv, pipi, py2, py3)

This script does things I need. It is good idea to use it as start point to write a script for your own purposes.

How to use it?

1. Get some clean debian server. Set up authentication by key:

   ssh-copy-id root@your-server

2. Upload the script:

   scp install.sh root@your-server:/root/

3. Log in to VPS as root
4. Check your /etc/apt/sources.list. It should contain jessie (stable) repository.

To speed up apt operations you may choose debian repo mirror close to your server. For example, if your server located in Nederlands that has code NL then you might replace ftp.us.debian.org, if such string exists in your config, with ftp.nl.debian.org.

Do not forget to add "contrib non-free" components.

Example of original digitalocean sources.list:

deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian jessie main
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates

After modification:

deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

5. Update install.sh script. Change INSTALL* variables to allow or disallow

   installation of specific software.

6. Run the script:

   $ bash install.sh

During installation process you'll need to confirm installation of various software packages (and resolve issues if any).

7. Reboot server.
