This script is intended to install PixelFed on a freshly installed Debian 9 (Stretch) without Docker. Prerequisites that must be met before you run this script:
- access to root account, this script must run by root user, not sudo.
- fresh install and no databases or webservers installed.
- a DNS entry pointing to your webserver otherwise Let's Encrypt installation will fail and stop the installation process.
- and of course an active and configured connection to the internet.
If you don't understand something about the above or don't know how to set it up, you should consider whether a hosted version of PixelFed wouldn't be better for you. Servers on the Internet are no toys and can do quite a lot of damage if operated by people who don't know what they're doing.
- a Database (Mysql 5.7)
- a Webserver (nginx - mainline version)
- To provide encrypted communication, this script sets up Let's Encrypt
- to automate renew Let's Encrypt certificates, certbot will be installed
- php and php-fpm (7.4)
- Laravel (php framework - PixelFed is build on it)
- a Redis database
- supervisor (to run horizon as a daemon)
- fail2ban (Intrusion Prevention System)
- UFW (simple iptables configuration tool)
Download -> make it executable -> run script
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/insxa/pixelfed-install-script/master/pixelfed-install.sh
chmod +x pixelfed-install.sh
./pixelfed-install.sh
ToDo:
- Make installation of Let's Encrypt, fail2ban and UFW optional. Till this is done: Just comment out what you wish not to install.
- Ask for phpMyadmin installation
