Install NGINX

Disable apache 

# systemctl stop httpd
# systemctl disable httpd

$ sudo yum install yum-utils

Create /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo 

[nginx-stable]
name=nginx stable repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key
module_hotfixes=true

[nginx-mainline]
name=nginx mainline repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/centos/$releasever/$basearch/

Install nginx 

$ sudo yum install nginx

Set up folders 

# cd /etc/nginx
# mkdir sites-available
# mkdir sites-enabled

Create a file named sites-available/unm.edu.conf 

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;
        server_name unm.edu *.unm.edu;
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
        listen 443 ssl http2;
        listen [::]:443 ssl http2;

        server_name ~^(?<subdomain>.+)\.unm\.dev$;

        if (!-d /srv/www/unm.edu/$subdomain) {
                set $subdomain "base";
        }

        set $public "";
        if (-d /srv/www/unm.edu/$subdomain/public) {
                set $public public;
        }

        root /srv/www/unm.edu/$subdomain/$public;

        index index.php index.html index.htm;

        access_log /var/log/nginx/access-wildcard.unm.edu.log;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/error-wildcard.unm.edu.log;

        include php_81_params.conf;

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

        ssl_certificate /etc/pki/tls/certs/_wildcard.unm.edu.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/pki/tls/private/_wildcard.unm.edu-key.pem;
        include ssl_params.conf;
}


Create a file named /etc/nginx/php_81_params.conf 

location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_index index.php;

        fastcgi_buffers 8 16k;
        fastcgi_buffer_size 32k;
        fastcgi_connect_timeout 60;
        fastcgi_send_timeout 300;
        fastcgi_read_timeout 300;

        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;

        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
}

Add include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*.conf; at the end of the first block before the closing brace. Then add a link inside the /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ folder 

# ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/unm.edu.conf ./

Create /etc/ssl/certs/dhparam.pem 

# openssl dhparam -out dhparam.pem 4096

Create a file named /etc/nginx/ssl_params.conf 

ssl_session_timeout 1d;
ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:50m;
ssl_session_tickets off;

ssl_stapling on;
ssl_stapling_verify on;

ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=15768000;

Install SSL certificates

Certificates should have been created by something like mkcert for development environment. The certificate should be in /etc/pki/tls/certs/ and the private key should be stored in /etc/pki/tls/private/. Then secure the private key with: 

# chmod 600 /etc/pki/tls/private/_wildcard.unm.edu-key.pem

Install EPEL & REMI repo

$ sudo subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms --enable rhel-7-server-extras-rpms
$ cd /tmp
$ wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
$ sudo yum -y install epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

$ sudo yum install -y https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm

Install PHP 8.1

Install Oracle Instant Client (at least the basic package). They're dependencies for oci-related PHP packages. 

# yum-config-manager --enable remi-php81
# yum -y autoremove rh-php72
# yum install -y php php-cli php-bcmath php-devel php-fpm php-gd imap php-intl php-mbstring php-mysqlnd php-oci8 php-odbc php-pdo php-tidy php-xml


Install byobu

Install byobu and choose screen as a multiplexer. Tmux doesn't allow for multiple ssh sessions to show different screens. 

# yum -y install byobu
# byobu-select-backend screen

Copy secret key from primary gpg

On the base machine: 

$ gpg --export-secret-key -a > secretkey.asc

Copy the secretkey.asc from the base machine to the new box. Then delete it using shred. 

$ gpg --import secretkey.asc
$ shred --remove secretkey.asc

Install NodeJS

$ sudo curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
$ sudo yum -y install nodejs

Install vim-plug

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Rest of the set up detail

$ sudo yum install ncurses-devel
  • ~/.gitconfig
  • ~/.gitignore__global
  • ~/.vimrc
