Nginx with Let’s Encrypt on Debian 10

by

Step 1 — Installing Certbot

The first step to using Let’s Encrypt to obtain an SSL certificate is to install the Certbot software on your server.

Installing the python3-certbot-nginx package from the Debian repositories will allow us to install and use Cerbot’s nginx plugin. Working with Python 3 and the python3-certbot-nginx package increases the longevity of our setup: Python 2 will be deprecated by January 2020, so our setup ensures compatibility with Python 3. Debian 10 currently supports both Python 2 and Python 3.

Before installing the python3-certbot-nginx package, update your package list:

sudo apt update

Next, install the dependencies for the python3-certbot-nginx package, which include the python3-acme, python3-certbot, python3-mock, python3-openssl, python3-pkg-resources, python3-pyparsing, and python3-zope.interface packages:

sudo apt install python3-acme python3-certbot python3-mock python3-openssl python3-pkg-resources python3-pyparsing python3-zope.interface

Finally, install the python3-certbot-nginx package:

sudo apt install python3-certbot-nginx

Certbot is now ready to use, but in order for it to configure SSL for Nginx, we need to verify some of Nginx’s configuration.

Cloudmin-GPL XEN on Debian 10

by

This article is inspired and prepared on the forked Cloudmin Xen script updated for Debian 10. However, the following procedures to be followed as precuationary before executing the updated script, which is available in this post in below section.

PHASE-I Prepare Environment for XEN

INSTALLING THE XEN HYPERVISOR AND HOST/CONTROL DOMAIN (“DOM0”)

In this step we install the Xen Project hypervisor software package, and configure the Dom0 virtual machine by way of the Debian base operating system. Once all preliminary configuration is complete, we will reboot the computer and automatically boot into the Xen hypervisor/Dom0 virtual machine to explore the new system.

INSTALL XEN HYPERVISOR

If you need to add a non-root user, the sudo package, non-free firmware, a firewall, or other necessary packages, now is the time.

Use apt-get to update the Debian base operating system package index files, and upgrade all currently installed packages. As root (or using sudo) run the following command:

# apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Next, use apt-get to install the Xen Project hypervisor meta-package. Run the following command as root, adjusting the architecture suffix to suit your hardware:

Install Apache, MariaDB and PHP

NextCloud runs on the webserver, written in PHP and uses MariaDB to store their data. So you will need to install Apache, MariaDB, PHP and other required packages on your system. You can install all of them by running the following command:

apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php mariadb-server php-xml php-cli php-cgi php-mysql php-mbstring php-gd php-curl php-zip wget unzip -y

Once all the packages are installed, open the php.ini file and tweak some recommended settings:

nano /etc/php/7.3/apache2/php.ini

Change the following settings:

memory_limit = 512M
upload_max_filesize = 1024M
post_max_size = 1024M
max_execution_time = 300
date.timezone = Asia/Dhaka

Save and close the file when you are finished. Then, start the Apache and MariaDB service and enable them to start after system reboot with the following command:

Softether Linux Client using Bridged with Softether VPN Server

by

It’s assumed that you already have a vpn server deployed in your network, created user, password and enabled bridged network during vpn server configuration. A sample snippet of VPN Server Bridge enabled is below-

So here’re the setup value-

  • On Softether Server IP- 103.146.221.30/24 and Gateway- 103.146.221.1
  • Client Server IP- 123.49.47.245/24, Gateway- 123.49.47.1 Once the server is connected to the vpn, it will be using 103.146.221.5 as bridged IP.

Let’s start.

My setup was done on Debian-10 fresh installation, should work on any linux distro though, it’s simple. The dependency packages that I needed were development tools/build-essentials and few other which were installed as below-

apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential gcc openssl apt-transport-https

Add PHP Repository

SURY, a third-party repository which offers PHP 7.4 / 7.3 / 7.2 / 7.1 for Debian operating system.

By default, Debian 10 ships PHP v7.3. So, you can either install PHP v7.3 from Debian repository or SURY repository. Skip this section if you want to install PHP 7.3 from the Debian repository. However, if you want to install PHP 7.4 / 7.2 / 7.1 on Debian 10, you must set up SURY repository.
