Guide to Install & Manage LEMP Stack With LEMPer

Wiki
1

LEMPer stands for Linux, Engine-X (Nginx), MariaDB and PHP installer. This is just a small toolkit written in Bash script that usually I use for managing Ubuntu (.deb based) LEMP stack. Our goal is to be the next CloudWays , Forge , Ploi , RunCloud , and ServerPilot free alternative which support a wide range of PHP framework (not only WordPress).

Features

  • Ubuntu 16.04 & 18.04 (Also supports Linux Mint specifically crafted for my local development box, Debian? still on the way).
  • Nginx latest mainline and stable version.
  • Multiple PHP versions (Currently supports 5.6 [EOL], 7.0 [EOL], 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4).
  • Run PHP as user who own the file (Multi-user via FPM’s pool).
  • PHP Zend OPcache.
  • PHP Loader (ionCube & SourceGuardian).
  • Supported PHP Framework and CMS:
    1. default (vanilla PHP),
    2. framework (codeigniter, laravel, lumen, phalcon, symfony),
    3. CMS (drupal, mautic, roundcube, sendy, wordpress, wordpress-ms), and
    4. more coming soon.
  • SQL database with MariaDB 10 (MySQL & PostgreSQL maybe added soon).
  • NoSQL database with MongoDB.
  • In-memory database with Redis.
  • Memory caching with Memcached.
  • Basic SSH hardening (custom port, password-less login with public key).
  • Basic iptables-based firewall (UFW, CSF, or APF).
  • Fail2ban for intrusion detection and IP address banning.
  • Lemper CLI (simple command line wrapper for managing vhost & stack).
  • No advanced GUI panel, everything terminal.

  • Clone LEMPer Git repositroy, git clone https://github.com/joglomedia/LEMPer.git .

@Mason thanks for your words…

@flips @aaronstuder
The main difference is its name :lol:
Try yourself and feel the difference…

There is no ETA for Debian, may be next year when v2.0 available.
