  • Reason: The Ubuntu scripts, which continue properly to use the Long Term Support 10.04 Lucid Lynx edition (supported 'till 2015) are updated with a better-supported repository for PHP and now use the install-from-source method for installing Nginx, rather than the compilation method, for easier package updating.

Deploy a Virtual Private Server and have your website working within minutes on a first class stack. Else add blogs & sites, upgrade or recompile core packages, automate key tasks and, most importantly, save serious time.

Surely not possible? It is now.

Click here for an overview.

Stacks now available ..

LAMP – Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP5

  • LAMP Stack: !!5 Minute!! VPS Install 4 Ubuntu 32bit
    Ridiculously fast Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP5 install when you consider the spec. Too much to mention, check out the link, configure a few variables, run the thing off a brand new Ubuntu distribution and browse to your super-secure domain. Almost makes me want to use Apache .. but not quite.
  • LAMP Stack Lite: Noob-Friendly VPS 4 Ubuntu 32bit
    Just like the LAMP for Ubuntu 32bit script but without the authentication key requirement. This is ideal for server or Linux noobs and webmasters deploying multiple boxes.

LEMP – Linux-Nginx-MySQL-PHP5

These four scripts are very similar. There are two scripts, both for Ubuntu 10.04 and for Debian. For each distribution there is a script that adds your pre-prepared public authentication key and another, simpler Lite script without this option (easier for noobs who may prefer to set up authentication keys afterwards).

WordPress

  • WP3 Stack: Add WordPress 3 Single Sites on LEMP
    Run this WordPress script on your Ubuntu/Debian distro & simply login to your blog. It automatically creates and connects WordPress to your MySQL database, adds the virtual host with caching, tweaks the permalink rewrites and sets super-tight permissions.
  • WP3 Stack: Setup WordPress 3 for Sub-Sites on LEMP
    Choose a few simple variables, run the script, paste a few commands & start adding sites within MINUTES! This WP3 sub-domain guide automates setting up the database, the cache, the FURLs, the wp-config.php, the network, THE LOT.

Scripts In The Works ..

  • dns setup
  • major package recompilers
  • security in depth solutions
  • more OS’es
  • more servers
  • remote-to-local backup solutions
  • a good night’s sleep
