Debian LAMP Stretch

Debian 9 Stretch LAMP

Install Debian with SSH server. I usually do a headless server and during the "Software Selection" I only choose SSH Server and Standard System utilities.

apt update && apt -y upgrade && apt install -y net-tools

Get IP address with ifconfig

ifconfig

ssh to machine as the user you created during install and su to root

su -

Prep for Webmin

echo "deb https://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib " > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webmin.list
wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc && apt-key add jcameron-key.asc
apt-get install apt-transport-https && apt update && apt upgrade

Install LAMP plus utilities

apt install -y git curl htop iftop open-vm-tools webmin apache2 apache2-utils mariadb-server mariadb-client php7.0 libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0-mysql php-common php7.0-cli php7.0-common php7.0-json php7.0-opcache php7.0-readline php7.0-curl php7.0-xml php7.0-gd

Reboot the server

Secure the DB

mysql_secure_installation

You want to set the root user password and then just hit return for everything else.

CLI Prompt

Follow the Debian CLI Prompt guide.
