Server Setup
------------
1. Update, upgrade, install essential
server$ sudo apt-get update
server$ sudo apt-get upgrade
server$ sudo apt-get install build-essential -y
server$ apt-get install libssl-dev zlib1g-dev
Create a deploy user and allow him password-less root access:
server$ adduser deploy
server$ export EDITOR=vi
server$ visudo
+deploy ALL=(ALL) ALL
+%deploy ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
3. Create /var/www for sites deployed into:
server$ mkdir -p /var/www/
server$ chown -R deploy:deploy /var/www
Configure SSH
-------------
1. Create an SSH key
local$ ssh-keygen -t dsa
2. Add your public key to the remote machine
You can do this manually by pasting the contents of you public key into the authorised keys file on the server or you can add the following function to your .bashrc
function authme {
ssh $1 'cat >>~/.ssh/authorized_keys' <~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
}
Then run:
local$ authme deploy@[server-name]
Log out of the server and ensure you can login with being challenged for a password:
local$ ssh-add
local$ ssh deploy@[server]
3. Configure the sshd on the server to turn off password logins and run on a different port.
server$ sudo vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Ensure the following settings are present with the correct values, then reload the SSH daemon.
+Port 2212 #(or any high port of your choosing)
+PasswordAuthentication no
+RSAAuthentication yes
+PubkeyAuthentication yes
server$ sudo /etc/init.d/sshd reload
4. Configure SSH locally
Add new server ssh config so you can quickly connect
local$ vim ~/.ssh/config
+# Comment i use to group servers in the same project
+ Host [a-name-for-the-server]
+ Hostname [the ip address]
+ User deploy
+ Port [the port number you chose]
Now when you want to connect you just need to run:
local$ ssh a-name-for-the-server
