|
|
Hi,
Im new to linode and linux a bit too.
Just wondering how to use stackscripts? I see these are batch scripts.
Do I have to upload the LEMP script as a text file to my server into a folder somewhere and then execute it?
Also do stackscripts only work from when the distribution (in my case ubuntu) is installed or can they be executed afterwards?
I see there is an area in my Linode manager where I can add a stackscript. What relevance does this have to executing it? Does it execute from here upon next bootup or something?
Cheers Klinode |

From linode.com/stackscripts Quote: When the deployment is first booted, the script is executed and does its thing
The scripts are added to a deployment (i.e. when you first install a distribution). The scripts are imported from your control panel, at https://www.linode.com/members/stackscripts, as you've likely discovered. :)
Cheers. |

So, im guessing from your answer that if i wanted to benefit from the stack scripts i would have to re-install my server again? is that right??
It might save me time rather than having to do LEMP install myself??
Is it worth going for the Ubuntu firewall stackscript? |

| If you're just building one linode, it's not worth your time. Stackscripts is more geared toward those that are deploying multiple linodes and want them built more quickly. |

Hello,
I re-imaged my Linode to run the LEMP stackscript but was surprised when it started compiling everything from source... If I needed to update the softwares, how would that be done if it is not synchronized with the repositories?! (I am a Linux noob...).
Thanks,
Vincent C. |

| As the LEMP SS states, if you're unfamiliar with LEMP, check out LEMP_lib. It's an easy to read script and understanding it may help when it comes time to upgrade. |

| That doesn't exactly explain why it's pulling stuff from source that is available in the repo. |

| You are mistaken; PHP-FPM nor the stable version of nginx are available in the 8.04 repos. |

i went with apache in the end, it runs perfectly fine atm, but lets see when some traffic starts hitting it. well i guess i will just upgrade at that point.
ive been using apache for ages, but im v new to nginx and i cant see the point in learning a whole new system, and also dont wanna get down the line and find rewrites or something even more important doesnt work.
I think illl spend the time on optimising apache, bz a lot of peeps are saying that its just as good as nginx when optimised properly |
