Introducing StackScripts
-
Hey folks,
You may like to take a look at:-
vpsBible Launches StackScripts 4 Super-Fast VPS Setup
I've set up a new forum to support the various scripts I'll be publishing.
So why?
I've been using some scripts myself to automate various tasks, but had never bothered to compile these into something universally handy.
Finally I got round to it last week, having created a crude script to help automate the PHP benchmarking server setup, which involved, can't remember, for sure more than a dozen server setups in itself to test the various FastCGI installations.
.. Damn that saved some time.
And you guys have also forced my hand, there've been a few requests and comments, not least of all about Linode's new stackscript service ..
.. I looked at a few of these and, superb as they are, they work only for the one server provider (and IMHO they don't automate enough for noobs - or for webmasters in a hurry - at least the few I've seen.
But stackscripts aren't just a buzzword, they are the future for server setups and vpsBible will be reflecting this, perfecting multi-setup scripts for whatever specification.
So there you go.
Er, I also wanted to say sorry for having been a bit AWOL over the last week or so. God's honest is I've had really rotten toothache, must be getting old, it's been impossible to concentrate.
.. I've not forgotten my promises for a permissions and DNS guide.
Bear with me .. I'll try to catch up (and stackscripts will help me to do that).

UnregisteredG'day Guv!
This is a *serioulsy* cool idea. Kudos. I suggested this some time back to one of my web hosts. They said it was to hard to do, and point people to CPanel instead. Well done. Will write a blog post about this (and your service) for next week. At least one ISV has signed here from the last post where you commented yourself.
Keep up the good work!!

Memberawesome!
u mentioned fivebean, and i did too on another post, i signed up with them and one day later i cancelled due to slow control panel and very slow response time (they were very busy they told me at that time).....
in the end i ordered another linode.... linode is the best... hardware and controlpanel wise... :)

wow .. nice feedback guys .. damn, I think we're getting somewhere here!
@Ginger .. they should work with any computer that has launched a Debian/Ubuntu distribution. there will doubtless be a few issues to iron out but I intend to help to ensure they are utterly cross-vps-provider.
@agus .. sorry to hear that .. i've not given fivebean enough of a workout to see any speed issues.
@scott/cdroo .. wow .. that would be great. (cPanel .. yuk!)
guess it's gonna be a big week then :)

later today Janez, I promise .. am wrapping the tutorial in code now. have been building servers with it all day.
best give me 3-4 hours but, let's face it, it may be 6 .. bit massive and any typo is unkind here.
.. there'll be the first derivative from it on Thursday, basically the same without authentication keys which, for some, may be problematic or unwanted.
have tested on Debian5 too and will have an amended fork for that out early next week.
Sorry, had to get that Admin index out yesterday, after all .. to be honest I hadn't realized there were so many buried tutorials.

er, the one tonight i for Ubuntu Lucid 10.04, by the way .. should work with 8,04 up but I'm not sure there's any point .. Lucid's being well-received and is Long Term Support which basically means its a kingpin edition.

MemberGuv you are simply the flippin man! I have learned so much on this forum. A couple of months ago I didn't know diddly squat about Linux, CMS installation, DNS, Nameservers, benchmarking, the CLI and now learning about stackscripts! Keep 'em coming Guv. This site and all the awesome peeps on here spreading knowledge to a Noob like Oui is has been beyond instrumental. Whoo-Hoo
