  • /home/vdsadmin/certs — SSL certificates
• Configures:
  • MySQL memory and performance settings
  • PHP-FPM workers based on system RAM
  • Nginx for optimal server performance
• Enables firewall and basic protection

⚙️ Usage

Run post-install configuration:

sudo bash postinstall.sh

or

#!/bin/bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/barslg/postinstall/refs/heads/main/devops/postinstall.sh -O /root/postinstall.sh
/bin/bash /root/postinstall.sh

🧱 Requirements

• Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
• Root or sudo privileges
• Domain with DNS pointing to server's public IP
• Open ports: 22, 80, 443, 873

📁 Directory Structure

/home/vdsadmin/
├── www/               # Web root for domains
│   └── example.com/
├── logs/              # Nginx logs per domain
├── certs/             # SSL certificates (if not using Certbot)
├── .ssh/              # SSH access for vdsadmin

🛡️ Security and Best Practices

• Uses set -euo pipefail for reliable execution
• Non-interactive APT operations
• All configurations and logics are auditable
• Ensures minimal human interaction
• Auto-detects server specs (RAM, disk, CPU) and configures accordingly
