    This is a preinstall question. I'm building a CMS in NodeJS which will have a Postgres database hosted on a dedicated database server. I want all the advanced security features and easy install and setup of vhosts Centmin offers, but I don't need things like PHP or MariaDB install in the new server when I spin it up.

    I would like NodeJS installed

    Can I set-up the /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc before I install Centmin to pick the services I want/don't want installed? (I have search the forum but couldn't find an answer).

    If that is the case, what would people recommend is installed for a secure NodeJS set-up?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Nginx 1.31.x
    MariaDB 10.x/11.4+/12.3+
    Best to just stop and disable services after installed
    Code (Text):
    systemctl stop php-fpm mariadb
systemctl disable php-fpm mariadb

    That has a downside, you still get update cnotifications for the services you don't need/use (Nginx and PHP)
