===== Debian Armbian Webserver Setup =====

===== 1. Initial Setup =====

**Download and Prepare Armbian Image:**
  - Download an Armbian image from [[https://www.armbian.com/|Armbian.com]].
  - Write the image to a storage device (e.g., SD card).
  - Connect the device to the server, power it up, and log in via SSH.

  bash

  ssh root@<new_armbian_system_IP_or_name>

Password is 1234 (or as stated at the source). 
Follow on-screen instructions to complete the initial setup.

===== 2. Installing Webmin =====

  bash

  # Install Webmin
  curl -o setup-repos.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/webmin/webmin/master/setup-repos.sh
  sh setup-repos.sh
  apt-get install webmin --install-recommends

===== 3. Network Configuration =====

Use armbian-config for static IP configuration or edit /etc/rc.local as a last resort:

  bash

  # Example for /etc/rc.local (if needed)
  ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.206 netmask 255.255.255.0
  route add default gw 192.168.10.1 eth0

Reboot and log in with the new IP.

===== 4. NFS Drive Preparation (Optional) =====

If using an NFS drive:

  bash

  mkdir /var/www

Add the following line to /etc/fstab:

  <NFS server IP>:/volume1/<WEBSERVER DRIVE> /var/www nfs _netdev,nofail,rw 0 0

Reboot or use mount -a to mount the new drive.

===== 5. Prepare for Dokuwiki =====

  bash

  apt update
  apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-xml php-mbstring php-zip php-intl php-gd apache2
  systemctl restart apache2.service
  wget https://download.dokuwiki.org/src/dokuwiki/dokuwiki-stable.tgz
  tar xzvf dokuwiki-stable.tgz
  mv dokuwiki-* /var/www/html/dokuwiki
  chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/dokuwiki

Respectively use the directories where you want to store the new webpages.

===== 6. Apache Virtual Server Configuration =====

Setup Apache webservers via Webmin, configuring port 80 for HTTP and port 443 for HTTPS.

Use Webmin's homepage for instructions, else the shortform is: \\
Setup Apache webservers via webmin: 
  * for future simplicity in maintenance, put all configs into httpd.conf
  * port 80 for http://
  * port 443 for https://
  * Dont forget to click apply!

===== 7. Certbot Installation and Configuration =====

  bash

  apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache

Run Certbot for each virtual server:

  bash

  certbot --apache -d your_domain -d www.your_domain

Verify renewal process:

  bash

  sudo certbot renew --dry-run
  
And check the websites via the ( router-configured ) Dynamic DNS hostnames!

===== 8. Activate PHP in Apache2 =====

Was needed for us as we f'd up earlier, should not be needed:

  bash

  # In case of issues
  apt purge libapache2-mod-php
  apt install php8.2-fpm
  apt install libapache2-mod-php
  /usr/bin/php -v
