A little script to have a web server in Digital Ocean with Vesta Control Panel in no time. Good for people with no linux experience and much better for the others.
Original script can be found at https://github.com/FastDigitalOceanDroplets/VestaCP
Script will install:
- VestaCP
- Nginx 1.11.x
- PHP 7.0.x
- MySQL 5.7.x
- Exim 4.x
- Dovecot 2.2.x
- vsftpd
- named
- iptables
- fail2ban
On servers over 3Gb of ram:
- Spam-Assassin
- ClamAV
What is done additionally to a standard VestaCP installation:
- Make the VestaCP interface secure by default by automatically adding a free Let's Encrypt certificate.
- NOTE: Ensure your domain is already mapped to your droplet!
- Add a v-search-command to allow finding shell Vesta commands easily
- Make a swap partition of 1 gb to make some room for some things to work better.
- Configure server Time Zone.
- Configure server Locales.
- Fully Update the OS.
- Setup unattended-upgrades.
- Remove admin group.
- Add php-zip and php-gd modules
- Fix bash profile
- ...and after installation, run patches to the specific VestaCP version if available.

After login to the droplet for the first time, copy the line bellow and execute it in the terminal:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mrhasbean/VestaCP/master/vestacp.sh && bash vestacp.sh
For hosts other than Digital Ocean, you could try the generic version of the script:
apt-get -y install curl && curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mrhasbean/VestaCP/master/vestacp-generic.sh && bash vestacp-generic.sh
Once installed REBOOT the droplet. (Very important to do for the nex step !!!)
Once rebooted, run the following for some basic setup and patch installation for the specific VestaCP version. Copy the line bellow and execute it in the terminal. (the patch may or may not reboot the system again)
bash post.sh
