Installation script for enabling macOS baked-in LEMP stack

Install local LEMP for Mac OS X

For Front End development, a full Vagrant box is not always needed. If you have a new Macbook Pro, you can install local LEMP (Linux, nginx, MariaDB and PHP) with this single liner (if wget is not installed, run brew install wget first):

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/digitoimistodude/osx-lemp-setup/master/install.sh | bash

Please note: Don't trust blindly to the script, use only if you know what you are doing. You can view the file here if having doubts what commands are being run. However, script is tested working many times and should be safe to run even if you have some or all of the components already installed.

Dependencies

• Homebrew
• Mac OS X, preferably 10.12.5

Post install

You may want to add your user and group correctly to /usr/local/etc/php/7.0/php-fpm.d/www.conf and set these to the bottom:

catch_workers_output = yes
php_flag[display_errors] = On
php_admin_value[error_log] = /var/log/fpm7.0-php.www.log 
slowlog = /var/log/fpm7.0-php.slow.log 
php_admin_flag[log_errors] = On
php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 1024M
request_slowlog_timeout = 10
php_admin_value[upload_max_filesize] = 100M
php_admin_value[post_max_size] = 100M

Default vhost could be something like:

server {
    listen 80;
    root /var/www/example;
    index index.html index.htm index.php;
    server_name example.test www.example.test;
    include php7.conf;
    include global/wordpress.conf;
}

Default my.cnf would be something like this (already added by install.sh in /usr/local/etc/my.cnf:

#
# This group is read both both by the client and the server
# use it for options that affect everything
#
[client-server]

#
# include all files from the config directory
#
!includedir /usr/local/etc/my.cnf.d

[mysqld]
innodb_log_file_size = 32M
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 1024M
innodb_log_buffer_size = 4M
slow_query_log = 1
query_cache_limit = 512K
query_cache_size = 128M
skip-name-resolve

For mysql, remember to run mysql_secure_installation. Your logs can be found at /usr/local/var/mysql/yourcomputername.err (where yourcomputername is obviously your hostname).

After that, get to know dudestack to get everything up and running smoothly. Current version of dudestack supports macOS LEMP stack.

You should remember to add vhosts to your /etc/hosts file, for example: 127.0.0.1 site.test. Also, consider adding these bash aliases for easy stopping and starting services:

alias nginx.start='sudo brew services start nginx'
alias nginx.stop='sudo brew services stop nginx'
alias nginx.restart='nginx.stop && nginx.start'
alias php-fpm.start='sudo brew services start php70'
alias php-fpm.stop='sudo brew services stop php70'
alias php-fpm.restart='php-fpm.stop && php-fpm.start'
alias mysql.start='brew services start mariadb'
alias mysql.stop='brew services stop mariadb'
alias mysql.restart='mysql.stop && mysql.start'
alias localserver.stop='mysql.stop && nginx.stop && php-fpm.stop'
alias localserver.start='mysql.start && nginx.start && php-fpm.start'
