ngxsetup

A single binary that turns a bare Ubuntu or Debian server into a tuned, hardened WordPress host — nginx, PHP-FPM and MariaDB or MySQL — sized for the machine it's running on.

sudo ./ngxsetup setup
sudo ngxsetup site add example.com --wordpress --tls --admin-email you@example.com

No agent, no runtime dependencies, no configuration management server. Every template it needs is embedded in the binary. Sizes the stack from a real memory budget, isolates every site at the kernel level (its own user, its own PHP-FPM service, its own mount namespace), and re-applies idempotently — a second run with nothing changed does, and reloads, nothing.

Install

curl -fLO https://github.com/mevijays/ngxsetup/releases/latest/download/ngxsetup-linux-amd64
chmod +x ngxsetup-linux-amd64
sudo ./ngxsetup-linux-amd64 setup

arm64 builds are published too. See Installation for checksums, building from source, and choosing MySQL over the default MariaDB.
