#Ubuntu Server Setup

##Create Server

• DigitalOcean or other cloud service
• Setup DNS A record

##User Setup

As root:

#change root password
passwd

#add new user, add to group 'sudo'
sudo adduser <username>
sudo adduser <username> sudo

#edit root priviledges
visudo
#  add line to give root priviledges to group 'sudo'
#  %sudo    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
#  ctrl-x, y to exit & save

#edit ssh config
nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
#  Port 22  #change to between 1025 and 65536
#  Protocol 2
#  PermitRootLogin no
#  AllowGroups sudo
#  ctrl-x, y to exit & save

#restart sshd
service ssh restart

Logout, login as new user

##Get the repos ready and run updates

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

##RVM - Ruby, Rails

sudo apt-get install curl
curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --autolibs=enabled
. ~/.bash_profile
rvm autolibs enable   #necessary?
rvm requirements

Example 'rvm requirements':

sudo apt-get install git-core patch gcc make libc6-dev libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev autoconf libc6-dev libgdbm-dev libncurses5-dev automake libtool bison pkg-config libffi-dev

Then

rvm list known

rvm install 2.0.0
rvm install 1.9.3
rvm install 1.8.7
rvm --default use 2.0.0-p0

rvm use 2.0.0 --default

rvm rubygems current

gem install rails

##NVM - NodeJS, NPM

git clone git://github.com/creationix/nvm.git ~/.nvm
printf "\n\n# NVM\nif [ -s ~/.nvm/nvm.sh ]; then\n\tNVM_DIR=~/.nvm\n\tsource ~/.nvm/nvm.sh\nfi" >> ~/.bashrc
NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
nvm ls-remote

##Add databases.

Postgres

sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev pgadmin3
sudo -u postgres createuser --superuser `logname`

#Ruby
gem install pq

MySQL

sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev

#Ruby
gem install mysql2

###SQLite

sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libsqlite3-0

##Git Configuration

git config --global user.name <git-username>
git config --global user.email <git-email-address>
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C <git-email-address>

Add public key to github then test it out with this

ssh -T [email protected]
ssh -T [email protected]

Set default text editor for git

git config --global core.editor vim

Set git status colors

git config --global color.diff auto
git config --global color.status auto
git config --global color.branch auto
git config --global color.status.changed yellow
git config --global color.status.added green
git config --global color.status.untracked red

Verify git settings

git config --list

Misc. Linux Commands

#shutdown
sudo shutdown -h now
sudo shutdown -h 0

#poweroff
sudo halt
sudo poweroff

#reboot
sudo reboot
sudo shutdown -r 0

#list a specific user's groups
groups username

#list all groups (sudo apt-get install members)
members groupname

#check directory size (disk used)
du -sh

.bash_aliases

#-------------------
# Aliases
#-------------------

alias rm='rm -i'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias mv='mv -i'
# -> Prevents accidentally clobbering files.
alias mkdir='mkdir -p'

alias h='history'
alias j='jobs -l'
alias which='type -a'
alias ..='cd ..'

# Pretty-print of some PATH variables:
alias path='echo -e ${PATH//:/\\n}'
alias libpath='echo -e ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH//:/\\n}'


alias du='du -kh'    # Makes a more readable output.
alias df='df -kTh'

#-------------------------------------------------------------
# The 'ls' family (this assumes you use a recent GNU ls).
#-------------------------------------------------------------
# Add colors for filetype and  human-readable sizes by default on 'ls':
alias ls='ls -h --color'
alias lx='ls -lXB'         #  Sort by extension.
alias lk='ls -lSr'         #  Sort by size, biggest last.
alias lt='ls -ltr'         #  Sort by date, most recent last.
alias lc='ls -ltcr'        #  Sort by/show change time,most recent last.
alias lu='ls -ltur'        #  Sort by/show access time,most recent last.

# The ubiquitous 'll': directories first, with alphanumeric sorting:
alias ll="ls -lv --group-directories-first"
alias lm='ll |more'        #  Pipe through 'more'
alias lr='ll -R'           #  Recursive ls.
alias la='ll -A'           #  Show hidden files.
alias tree='tree -Csuh'    #  Nice alternative to 'recursive ls' ...
