Anyone have an up-to-date web server setup guide they recommend?
Need to spin up nginx, with PHP, SQLLite (and maybe Redis). Want to ensure I'm following all modern best practices - I haven't done this in 3 or 4 years.
Preferably with Ubuntu.
Please don't tell me to use Docker

It's Friday so as told by the prophecy I return with Scraps, my little human-curated #roundup of links to some great #blog posts and other interesting content. The #indieweb, the #humanweb and the #infosec & #sysadmin worlds collide in this week's Scraps: https://fyr.io/scrap/2025-07-25
We're six (6) editions deep with no signs of slowing down. Take a look if you wish. You might find something you like!

Today is #sysadmin day 
I uh hate for asking.. but this sysadmin could use a little help in running the services but not in a technical way 
https://mstdn.social/@stux/114903063176514497
Maybe you can also helpout your server admin? 
Mastodon 🐘stux⚡ (@stux@mstdn.social)I need a little help.. Just paid the server bills for the all VPS but since we moved mstdn to a dedicated server we have extra costs for 1 month :sad_cat:
The dedicated server required a one-time setup fee of 100 bucks, we also had a little over 2 day overlap in running costs, this should be minimal hopefully
Next month costs will be a lot lower!

One of those things it's good to know about, but you hope you'll never have to use 
Man kann ja nicht oft genug betonen, dass ein #Sysadmin weit mehr als nur die Technik bändigt. Oder wie es ein Kollege dereinst mit vielsagendem Blick formulierte:
"50% deiner Arbeitszeit bist du Sozialarbeiter."
Wenn man den #Sysadmin nicht bemerkt, hat er entweder Ferien und/oder seinen Job gut gemacht.
This morning, something happened that brought me immense pleasure. A long-standing client called and asked if they could "bother" me. I replied that they weren't bothering me at all, and that I was "testing some new things". They immediately said, "Oh, I'll call you another time then".
Of course, they had my full and undivided attention from that moment on.
One of the challenging aspects of my work method is making people (not necessarily clients, but generally) understand that experimentation is more important than deployment itself. When they see me set up a server in a very short time (and it will stay up for years), it's not (just) because I use effective tools, but also because it's backed by research, errors, and successes. In a word: experience.
Sitting in front of my computer with two old APUs, therefore, isn't a pastime but one of the most critical parts of my testing. Dated and underperforming hardware necessitates optimization. When people grasp this, it's a true joy for me.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go check how a signal penetrates concrete walls with three different access points placed in the same spot...
...And the fact that I enjoy all of this immensely is just an added bonus!

The sysdig command is a powerful system-level exploration and troubleshooting tool for Linux. Sysdig can capture and analyze real-time system calls and events, enabling deep visibility into processes, containers, network activity, and file access

Heute ist der „Tag des Systemadministrators“
– Zeit, Danke zu sagen.
Unsere IBH-Sysadmins halten unsere Systeme und die der Kunden am Laufen. Sie lösen Probleme, bevor sie entstehen und bleiben dabei meist unsichtbar.
Laura aus dem Bereich Marketing hat ihnen eine kleine, lesenswerte Hommage gewidmet. Mit Humor und viel Wertschätzung.
Jetzt lesen, schmunzeln und Danke sagen:

Systemadministrator-Tag am 25. Juli
Während Sie E-Mails abrufen und in Cloud-Apps arbeiten, sorgen System Admins im Hintergrund für reibungslose Abläufe. Sie verwalten Server, implementieren Sicherheitsrichtlinien und lösen komplexe IT-Herausforderungen – oft bevor Probleme sichtbar werden.
In Zeiten zunehmender Cyberbedrohungen wird ihre Expertise immer wertvoller. Danke an alle Systemadministratoren!

„Have you tried turning it off and on again?” Die Realität der Systemadministration geht weit über dieses popkulturelle Klischee hinaus.
Mannat Kaur erforscht sozio-technische
Systeme und zeigt: Systemadministrator*innen verwalten nicht nur Infrastrukturen – sie verhandeln, koordinieren und kümmern sich. Diese sozialen und emotionalen Aspekte sind essenziell für die Systemsicherheit, werden aber oft übersehen.
