Cheat sheet for installing any script on Laravel/Symfony For Ubuntu 20-24

I’ve written this for Ubuntu 22, but it should work with the other 20+ versions as well. Replace php7.4 with your own version, such as php8.1, if necessary.

Run the following commands:

apt-get update
apt-get install software-properties-common
add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php
apt-get update
apt-get -y install unzip zip nginx curl php7.4 php7.4-mysql php7.4-fpm php7.4-mbstring php7.4-xml php7.4-curl redis-server mysql-client mysql-server

install MySQL:

sudo mysql_secure_installation
sudo mysql
ALTER USER “root”@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY “YOURPASSWORD”;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit

install Node and PM2:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}‘ ] && printf %s ’${HOME}/.nvm‘ || printf %s ’${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm‘)’
[ -s ‘$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh’ ] && \. ‘$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh’
nvm install 16
nvm use 16
npm i -g pm2

Copy the script to cd /var/www/html

unzip archive.zip
chmod -R 777 storage
chmod -R 777 bootstrap
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

install phpMyAdmin

cd /usr/share
composer create-project phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin --repository-url=https://www.phpmyadmin.net/packages.json --no-dev
ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html/public

Let’s configure NGINX

nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

Paste everything below. Be sure to specify your domain (already linked to the server)

limit_conn_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=perip:10m;
limit_conn_zone $server_name zone=perserver:10m;

server {

listen 80;
listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on;

limit_conn perip 10;
limit_conn perserver 100;

# Log files for Debugging
access_log /var/log/nginx/laravel-access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/laravel-error.log;

# Webroot directory for Laravel project
root /var/www/html/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;

# Your domain name
server_name domain.com;

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

# PHP-FPM Configuration Nginx
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}

}

END!!! Next, save via nano (in the terminal). If you’ve had trouble – simply download the file, update it, save it and upload it back to the server.

Essential:

service nginx restart

The basic installation is complete. If you need SSL

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-certbot-nginx
sudo certbot --nginx

Start the bot (if using Roulette, usually in cd /var/www/html/storage/bot or cd /var/www/html/server)

Don’t forget to specify the paths to the certificates in the bot; they are located here: /etc/letsencrypt/live/

pm2 start app.js
