Intelligent Stack Scripts for CentOS Linux See http://drewsymo.com/web-servers/baller-nginx-php-fpm-apc-mysql-install-script/ for more information.
Pinch is a pinch to install, simply execute the following commands to get started:
$ yum install -y git
$ git clone git://github.com/drewsymo/Pinch.git
$ cd Pinch/vanilla-lemp && bash install.sh
If you're on Linode, you can simply rebuild your instance with the Pinch-installer stackscript.
- Installs a LEMP stack (PHP-FPM, MariaDB, APC, Nginx and Varnish Cache) via Yum
- Configures Varnish Cache with Nginx out-of-the-box
- Sets your hostname, timezone and installs essential tools
- Uses GoogleDNS with Level3 tertiary resolver
- Intelligentelly configures Nginx based on CPU cores
- Sets Varnish memory allocation percentage based on total memory
- Retrieves MariaDB server.cnf based on total memory
- Sets MariaDB root password and removes testing user / tables
- Creates a daily cron with email notifications for available Yum updates
- Secures your system via the following methods:
- Creates privledged sudo user
- Disable SSH root logins
- Disables UseDNS
- Change default SSH port
- Enables SElinux
- Firewall via iptables
- Sets common network security parameters
- Disables IPv6
- Creates unprivledged www-data user for lemp components
The locations for each of the Pinch components are as follows:
- Nginx:
/etc/nginx - PHP-FPM:
/etc/php-fpm.d/ - MariaDB:
/etc/my.cnf.d/ - Varnish:
/etc/varnish/&/etc/sysconfig/varnish/
Pinch creates a new privledged user for your system and disables root SSH logins for security. Additionally, it will set a root password for your MariaDB server.
- Hostname Option:
host.domain.com - Timezone Option:
Australia/NSW - New SSH Port:
3636 - New Root Username:
sudoninja - New Root Password:
sudoninjapassword - MariaDB Root Password:
mariadbpassword
For example, you can now login using ssh -p 3636 [email protected] with the password sudoninjapassword.
You can adjust the defaults by modifying the parameters in the install.sh script, located in the vanilla-lemp folder.
Alternatively, if you are using the Linode stack-script, you will be prompted to enter these options on rebuild.
