Centmin Mod .08 ideas

Just putting down on paper so to speak, some ideas for next Centmin Mod v1.2.3-eva2000.08 release feature inclusion.

Nginx

• Nginx Sticky Module add to Nginx https://bitbucket.org/nginx-goodies/nginx-sticky-module-ng (downloads) for cookie or route based session persistence for upstream load balancing. This is a feature that is available in the commercial paid Nginx Plus releases http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#sticky (details here and here). Issues tracker at https://bitbucket.org/nginx-goodies/nginx-sticky-module-ng/issues. Should be fairly easy to add as Centmin Mod Nginx is source compiled
• Nginx Upstream Check Module add to Nginx https://github.com/yaoweibin/nginx_upstream_check_module which allows you to check the health of an upstream load balancer backend. Yet another Nginx module which is packaged with commercial paid Nginx Plus release http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#health_check (details here)
• Fixed the severely outdated OpenResty Nginx module support which previously was broken along the way. Committed fix at https://github.com/centminmod/centminmod/commit/7266ade2cb28d69e520625f8fc60efc1496c6a9c Two OpenResty modules are added when enabled, memc module https://github.com/openresty/memc-nginx-module and srcache modules https://github.com/openresty/srcache-nginx-module
• For .08 beta also will be added a new Centmin Mod Addon for maldet.sh - to install Linux Malware Detect (maldet) + ClamAV Scan AntiVirus - see beta addon at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/maldet-linux-malware-detect-addon-discussion.846/. Help prevent those nasty Linux malware and viruses from infecting Centmin Mod based LEMP environments
• Updated Centmin Mod .08 betas on Github with new inc/phpng_download.inc file which has a function to auto download via Git clone the PHP NG source to /svr-setup/php-5.7.0 and create /svr-setup/php-5.7.0.tar.gz when you run centmin.sh menu option 5 and specify PHP version = 5.7.0. No more manual work needed to be able to test PHP NG (5.7) as outlined at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/php-5-7-phpng-support-testing-for-centmin-mod-betas.892 Changes commit at https://github.com/centminmod/centminmod/commit/854691c92d0803fe72ea7fbed38db4c035218f30. Remember, PHP NG is alpha quality not ready for production live use so only test this on test servers/sites. More info on PHP NG at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/php-5-7-almost-2x-times-faster-than-php-5-6.888/.
  
• Updated Centmin Mod .08 betas with suhosin 0.9.36 release which is meant to support PHP 5.4 to PHP 5.6 https://github.com/stefanesser/suhosin/releases. Commit https://github.com/centminmod/centminmod/commits/123.08centos7beta01
  
• Looking at creating a online PHP version check before PHP install and upgrades for Centmin Mod .08+ and higher. This way the latest version of a particular PHP branch 5.5, 5.4 or 5.3 gets installed.
  Code:

  ./phpvercheck.sh                                                           
  
  PHP 5.5 latest = 5.5.15
  PHP 5.4 latest = 5.4.31
  PHP 5.3 latest = 5.3.28
  
  newer PHP version is available
  5.5.14 < 5.5.15

  Code:

  ./phpvercheck.sh    
  
  PHP 5.5 latest = 5.5.15
  PHP 5.4 latest = 5.4.31
  PHP 5.3 latest = 5.3.28
  
  newer PHP version is available
  5.4.30 < 5.4.31

Yeah the one you're using latest version was v1.1 in 2012. The one I linked to at https://bitbucket.org/nginx-goodies/nginx-sticky-module-ng is at v1.2.4 and last updated April, 2014

Nginx Sticky Module 1.2.4 commits https://bitbucket.org/nginx-goodies/nginx-sticky-module-ng/commits/tag/1.2.4 and change log https://bitbucket.org/nginx-goodies...f13292b84e60f7639c233b/Changelog.txt?at=1.2.4

Could be 1.2.2 fix for 1.5.8+ that helps

 

Right now you probably know more than me on Nginx Sticky Module, never used it before Something to look into for .08 beta testing

edit: might be removing cookie itself as the name (srv_id) is the cookie ?

Code:

upstream cluster_name {
server 127.0.0.1:9000;
server 127.0.0.1:9001;
server 127.0.0.1:9002;
sticky srv_id domain=.mydomain.com path=/ expires=1h;
}

 

Yeah HHVM is on long term to do list at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/centmin-mod-to-do-list.7/ just not something to add right away as HHVM needs more time for maturity for wider compatibility.

CentOS 7 and Oracle Linux 7 support is a given

Automatic backup isn't something on the books anytime soon right now, so @Matt script https://community.centminmod.com/resources/auto-database-backup-script.2/ and anything shared at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/backup-files-and-database-script.495/ or on the web would be your best bet right now

 

Yes jailed accounts is a long term plan https://community.centminmod.com/threads/jailed-chrooted-sftp-ssh-user-nginx-vhost-menu.8/

I actually posted about Mmonit that another Centmin Mod user posted on the old Google+ Community group which you can discuss and read at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/monitoring-and-alert-tools.151/page-2#post-2825

 

yup on long term to do list https://community.centminmod.com/threads/centmin-mod-to-do-list.7/

 

let the suggestions continue

but yes Google Analytics is preferable as it reduces server resource usage

MX and SPF need to be manually done at domain registrar (ok unless you use local NSD for DNS as opposed to 3rd party DNS provider)

Cpanel is a paid commercial product with 100s of paid staff working on it and made specific for shared hosting while Centmin Mod is just me working on it in my free time and provided for free and not intended for shared hosting (FAQ 2 http://centminmod.com/faq.html) and provided as is

And to be honest I doubt Centmin Mod will have local mail setup done by me in an automated fashion as I DO NOT want to even remotely in anyway have to troubleshoot and hand hold new users with local mail configuration, setup and install all for free. If you know what you're doing, you can already setup email @yourdomain.com on Centmin Mod servers yourself too

Other Centmin Mod users are free to develop and create their own Centmin Mod Addons for local email setups if they want though and I'll list their Addon on my site at http://centminmod.com/addons.html too

from http://centminmod.com/addons.html

It's better for reliability and security reasons to use a 3rd party @yourdomain.com email service https://community.centminmod.com/threads/free-yourdomain-com-email-accounts-alternatives.280/ i.e. Zoho is free for first 5 users.
