Deploy your site with git

This gist assumes:

you have a local git repo
with an online remote repository (github / bitbucket etc)
and a cloud server (Rackspace cloud / Amazon EC2 etc)
- your (PHP) scripts are served from /var/www/html/
- your webpages are executed by apache
apache's home directory is /var/www/

The perfect Varnish configuration for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal & other (common) CMS based websites

Updated on December 15th, 2021

IMPORTANT: Read this before implementing one of the configuration files below (for either Varnish 3.x or 4.x+).

USE: Replace the contents of the main Varnish configuration file located in /etc/varnish/default.vcl (root server access required - obviously) with the contents of the configuration you'll use (depending on your Varnish version) from the 2 examples provided below.

IMPORTANT: The following setup assumes a 180 sec (3 minute) cache time for cacheable content that does not have the correct cache-control HTTP headers. You can safely increase this to 300 sec (or more) for less busier sites or drop it to 60 sec or even 30 sec for high traffic sites. It obviously depends on your use case.

Sending emails with ActionMailer and Sidekiq

Send email asynchroniously using Sidekiq.

ActionMailer

Create your mailer us usual:

	<?php
	include '../vendor/autoload.php';
	$classLoader = new \Doctrine\Common\ClassLoader('Entities', __DIR__);
	$classLoader->register();

	$classLoader = new \Doctrine\Common\ClassLoader('Proxies', __DIR__);
	$classLoader->register();

	// config
	$config = new \Doctrine\ORM\Configuration();

	# To recap, the best way (I've found) to completely uninstall node + npm is to do the following:

	cd /usr/local/lib
	sudo rm -rf node*

	First off, bundle.
	==================

	1. cd to the project directory
	2. Start the react-native packager if not started
	3. Download the bundle to the asset folder:
	curl "http://localhost:8081/index.android.bundle?platform=android" -o "android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle"

	# to generate your dhparam.pem file, run in the terminal
	openssl dhparam -out /etc/nginx/ssl/dhparam.pem 2048

	#!/usr/bin/python

	import argparse
	from pymongo import MongoClient as Client
	from bson import BSON
	from bson import json_util
	import json
	import os
