Install Nginx, PHP, PostgreSQL for Laravel/Lumen Ubuntu Server
Install the PostgreSQL Database Server Package
Add the PostgreSQL repository to your server's APT sources.
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'
Import the PostgreSQL repository key to your server using the
wget
utility.$ wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/postgresql.asc > /dev/null
Update the server packages to synchronize the new PostgreSQL repository.
$ sudo apt update
Install PostgreSQL on your server.
$ sudo apt install postgresql-15
Start the PostgreSQL database server.
$ sudo systemctl restart postgresql
View the PostgreSQL service status and verify that it's active.
$ sudo systemctl status postgresql
Output:
● postgresql.service - PostgreSQL RDBMS Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/postgresql.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (exited) since Sun 2024-04-21 16:08:10 UTC; 13s ago Process: 6756 ExecStart=/bin/true (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 6756 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CPU: 1ms
Install PHP-FPM
ALL IN ONE CODE
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php #private repo
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install -y php8.2-fpm php8.2-cli php8.2-common php8.2-zip php8.2-gd php8.2-mbstring php8.2-curl php8.2-xml php8.2-bcmath php8.2-pgsql
1. Run system updates
The first thing to do in a new system is to update our repositories in order to make them up to date. Run upgrade command also.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
2. Add Ondrej sury PPA repository
To run PHP 8.2 on Ubuntu 22.04, we need to add Ondrej sury PPA into our system. This is the maintainer of the PHP repository at the moment. This PPA is not currently checked so installing from it will not be guaranteed 100% results.
To add this PPA use the following command on our terminal.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
After installation is complete we need to update the repositories again for the changes to take effect.
sudo apt update
3. Install PHP 8.2 on Ubuntu Server
We should now be able to install PHP 8.2 on Ubuntu 22.04 Linux machine. The commands to run are as shared below:
sudo apt install php8.2-fpm -y
Check for the currently active version of PHP with the following command:
php --version
4. Install PHP 8.2 Extensions
Besides PHP itself, you will likely want to install some additional PHP modules. You can use this command to install additional modules, replacing PACKAGE_NAME
with the package you wish to install:
sudo apt-get install php8.2-PACKAGE_NAME
You can also install more than one package at a time. Here are a few suggestions of the most common modules you will most likely want to install:
sudo apt-get install -y php8.2-cli php8.2-common php8.2-zip php8.2-gd php8.2-mbstring php8.2-curl php8.2-xml php8.2-bcmath php8.2-pgsql
This command will install the following modules:
php8.2-cli
– command interpreter, useful for testing PHP scripts from a shell or performing general shell scripting tasksphp8.2-common
– documentation, examples, and common modules for PHPphp8.2-zip
– for working with compressed filesphp8.2-gd
– for working with imagesphp8.2-mbstring
– used to manage non-ASCII stringsphp8.2-curl
– lets you make HTTP requests in PHPphp8.2-xml
– for working with XML dataphp8.2-bcmath
– used when working with precision floatsphp8.2-pgsql
– for working with PostgreSQL databases
Install Composer Ubuntu Server
sudo apt-get install curl php8.2-cli php8.2-mbstring git unzip
curl –sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
composer -V
Install Latest Nginx Ubuntu Server
Ubuntu 22.04
Install the prerequisites:
sudo apt install curl gnupg2 ca-certificates lsb-release ubuntu-keyring
Import an official nginx signing key so apt could verify the packages authenticity. Fetch the key:
curl https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key | gpg --dearmor \
| sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
Verify that the downloaded file contains the proper key:
gpg --dry-run --quiet --no-keyring --import --import-options import-show /usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg
The output should contain the full fingerprint 573BFD6B3D8FBC641079A6ABABF5BD827BD9BF62
as follows:
pub rsa2048 2011-08-19 [SC] [expires: 2024-06-14]
573BFD6B3D8FBC641079A6ABABF5BD827BD9BF62
uid nginx signing key <signing-key@nginx.com>
If the fingerprint is different, remove the file.
To set up the apt repository for stable nginx packages, run the following command:
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg] \
http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu `lsb_release -cs` nginx" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list
If you would like to use mainline nginx packages, run the following command instead:
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg] \
http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu `lsb_release -cs` nginx" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list
Set up repository pinning to prefer our packages over distribution-provided ones:
echo -e "Package: *\nPin: origin nginx.org\nPin: release o=nginx\nPin-Priority: 900\n" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/99nginx
To install nginx, run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx
Debian/Ubuntu 20.04 packages
The available NGINX Ubuntu release support is listed at this distribution page. For a mapping of Ubuntu versions to release names, please visit the Official Ubuntu Releases page.
Append the appropriate stanza to /etc/apt/sources.list
. If there is concern about persistence of repository additions (i.e. DigitalOcean Droplets), the appropriate stanza may instead be added to a different list file under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
, such as /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list
.
## Replace $release with your corresponding Ubuntu release.
deb https://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ $release nginx
deb-src https://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ $release nginx
e.g. Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa):
deb https://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ focal nginx
deb-src https://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ focal nginx
To install the packages, execute in your shell:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx
If a W: GPG error:
https://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu
focal InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY $key
is encountered during the NGINX repository update, execute the following:
## Replace $key with the corresponding $key from your GPG error.
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys $key
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx
You have now nginx installed on your server but not ready to serve web pages. you have to start the nginx. You can do this by using this command:
sudo systemctl start nginx
