HOW TO INSTALL FAST UBUNTU WEBSERVER (VARNISH, PHP5-fpm, NGINX,
multidomain, http & wordpress)

Step by step:

console commands;
config files;
and real life examples for setting up the web server based on Ubuntu + NGINX + Varnish + WORDPRESS + HTML Websites.

Additionally, I've added my 'reasonable speed and efficiency' optimizations for small (to medium) size servers (256mb to 2gb processor + 256mb to 3gb RAM).

It is compatible with Ubuntu (tested on 13.04, 13.10, 14.04 and 14.10), Debian (testing line)- but most of the work flow after carefully reading and adjusting can be adapted to any Linux web server installation scenario.

This is a cheat sheet I use every single time for my own purposes, when I'm setting up a production web server. As it is rather not exciting and time consuming task - I have decided to make a small repo with all those boring things as configs and steps - necessary to set things up and running.. without digging through various manuals, wikis, forums.

Usually I use cloud based virtual servers but it should* works just for any working web server based on Ubuntu.

* - Please use your own brain! And don't blindly copy and paste commands to your terminal - for your own safety.

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FROM 'ubuntu command line' FILE.
