Building & Installing GMP 5.0.2

README

This gist assumes you are migrating an existing site for www.example.com — ideally WordPress — to a new server — ideally Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS — and wish to enable HTTP/2 (backwards compatibile with HTTP/1.1) with always-on HTTPS, caching, compression, and more. Although these instructions are geared towards WordPress, they should be trivially extensible to other PHP frameworks, other FastCGI backends, and even non-FastCGI backends (using proxy in lieu of fastcgi in the terminal Caddyfile stanza).

Quickstart: Use your own naked and canonical domain names instead of example.com and www.example.com and customize the Caddyfile and VCL provided in this gist to your preferences!

These instructions target Varnish Cache 4.1, PHP-FPM 7.0, and Caddy 0.10. (I'm using MariaDB 10.1 as well, but that's not relevant to this guide.)

	# freebsd-update makes assumptions that don't match the world I live
	# in. My local mirror has a 20ms rtt, can probably saturate my 130mbps
	# line speed and takes about 2 minutes to fetch all of FreeBSD 10's
	# dists; freebsd-update's mirrors are at least 140ms away, and take
	# about 4 hours to fetch the changes from 9.1-RELEASE-p10 to
	# 10.0-RELEASE.

	# freebsd-update is a clever script that downloads a lot of bsdiff
