EngineScript automates the process of building a high-performance LEMP server. We've specifically built EngineScript with WordPress users in mind, so the install process will take you from a bare server all the way to a working WordPress installation with Nginx FastCGI cache enabled in about 30 minutes.
EngineScript is meant to be run as root user on a fresh VPS. Initial setup will remove existing Apache, Nginx, PHP, and MySQL installations, so be careful.
As this is a pre-release version, so things might be totally broken day-to-day as things are developed.
- Ubuntu 20.04
- 64-Bit OS
- Minimum 1GB RAM (2GB+ recommended)
- Cloudflare (free or paid)
- 30 minutes of your time
Run the following command
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EngineScript/EngineScript/master/setup.sh && bash setup.shAfter the initial setup script has run, you'll need to alter the install options file before continuing.
Edit the following file: home/EngineScript/enginescript-install-options.txt.
You can edit the file directly from the console using the following command:
nano /home/EngineScript/enginescript-install-options.txtOnce you've filled out the enginescript-install-options.txt file with your personal settings, run the following command to continue with the installation process:
bash /usr/local/bin/enginescript/enginescript-install.shAfter EngineScript is fully installed, type enginescript or es.menu in console to bring up the EngineScript menu. Choose option 1 to create a new domain.
Domain creation is almost entirely automated, requiring only a few lines entered by the user. During this automated domain creation process, we'll create a unique Nginx vhost file, create new MySQL database, download the latest WordPress release, and assign the applicable data to your wp-config.php file within WordPress.
