OneinStack: How to install it on Ubuntu and CentOS

What is OneinStack? It is an active project that uses to set up an environment for the development of PHP/JAVA applications in just one-click on Linux operating systems such as CentOS (including Redhat), Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Deepin, Amazon Linux and other same family Distros.

Just like WAMP or XAMPP server for Windows, OneinStack allows creating different Linux web server environment such as:

• Lnmp（Linux + Nginx+ MySQL/MongoDB+ PHP）
• Lamp（Linux + Apache+ MySQL/MongoDB+ PHP）
• Lnmpa (Linux + Nginx+ MySQL/MongoDB+ PHP+ Apache): Nginx handles static, Apache handles dynamic PHP
• Lnmt (Linux + Nginx+ MySQL/MongoDB+ Tomcat): Nginx handles static, Tomcat (JDK) handles JAVA
• Lnpp（Linux + Nginx+ PostgreSQL+ PHP）
• Lapp（Linux + Apache+ PostgreSQL+ PHP）
• Lnmh（Linux + Nginx+ MySQL+ HHVM）

All the above-mentioned web servers combination can be installed using pre-given OneinStack script.

OneinStack updates are timely which makes it very reliable to use. The script of OneinStack provides a wide range of features such as:

Install OneinStack on Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS Linux OS

The below given steps will work on Ubuntu 19.04/18.04, 16.04 up to 12.04; Debian, Linux Mint, Elementary OS and other Debian based OS including CentOS / Redhat.

Step 1: Open Command Terminal

If you are on command line server then simply move to the next step and for those using GUI desktop, go to Applications and search for Terminal, when appears, click to open. Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+T, however, this shortcut only works mostly on Ubuntu or its counterpart.

Step 2: Install Wget on Ubuntu/CetnOS

Although wget comes installed by default, however, if you don’t have it on your system then first install it. The command for that:

For Ubuntu/Debian

sudo apt-get -y install wget screen

For Centos/RedHat

sudo yum -y install wget screen

Step 3: Download OneinStack file containing source code

Now, with the help of wget we download the Tarball compressed file of the OneinStack that contains script we need to install it. It also contains the source code of this tool.

You can use any one of the given commands to download it.

wget http://mirrors.linuxeye.com/oneinstack-full.tar.gz

or 

wget http://mirrors.linuxeye.com/oneinstack.tar.gz

wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/iampc7prd9y7cqf/oneinstack-full.tar.gz

Step 4: Extract OneinStack Tarball file to install

After downloading it in the above step; use a command:

ls

It will show all the available files under your home directory including the OneinStack downloaded one.

Now extract the file’s content:

tar xzf (filename)

so that command will be:

tar xzf oneinstack-full.tar.gz

Step 5: Enter into the directory

Now get into the directory above the extracted file using the command:

cd oneinstack

Step 6 Run OneinStack installation script

Now here is the deal, every time you want to set up some web server or any other thing like Database, PHP, PhpMyAdmin, etc. You just have to run OneinStack script. The command is:

sudo ./install.sh

Here we are just giving you a glimpse all the things which we can setup using OneinStack:

The moment you run it, it will start giving a command line wizard to configure different elements:

The script will let you choose whether to install Nginx, Apache, etc. Choose things to install according to your own needs.

Database Server

You will then be asked to choose the MySQL database version on OneinStack. Currently while writing this article the 8.0 version was the latest one with improved performance. However, before choosing any of them make sure your program would have compatibility with the latest one, if not then opt the one which has or lower.  After that enter the password for the database root user.

PHP version needs to be installed

Now, it will ask you which PHP version you would like to set on your server for testing web applications. Select one that your project supports becuase of optimized performance. Besides the PHP, the OneinStack will also give the option to configure the Opcode cache simultaneously. Select anyone between Zend OPcache and APCU.

Furthermore, if the web application you are about installing on your system using this script, requires some specific PHP extension then you select them from the given list. Simply enter the serial number of that. By Default, it will be 4, 11, 12.

If not sure about this, then simply press enter for Default options.

Other miscellaneous things

It depends on your own requirements like Pure-FTPd, PhpMyAdmin, redis-server, memcached-server and HHVM, if you want any of them, then select Y option accordingly.

While OneinStack installing all the tools which take some time depending upon your internet connection, so, you can grab a cup of coffee.

After installing, it will ask you to restart the system to check whether all services are working properly.

Once the installation is done and the system restarted, open system browser and enter your system IP address. If you are using command-based server then you can use any other system (Windows/Linux/MacOS) on the same network and open OneinStack installed system’s IP address.

On the Control Center page, you will get all options to access installed applications directly.

Step 8: Install OneinStack Add-ons

It also offers different add-ons. To install them, switch to OneinStack directory and run addon script

cd Oneinstack

sudo .addons.sh

Step 9: Let’s Encrypt to Create an SSL certificate and key

If you have some domain then you can install your own free SSL certificate and for that first simply add your system IP address for A record in your Domain DNS. After that simply run the following, you should be in the directory of OneinStack.

sudo ./vhost.sh

Follow the guided steps appears on your screen. While setting up the SSL, it will also ask you to choose program rewrite rules, for that it offers popular programs such as WordPress, Opencart, larvelDZ, nextcloud, typecho and more.

To delete created virtual host in the future, use the below command:

vhost.sh --del
