Script to setup Ubuntu Linux Server

You can run the following command to quickly install Fat Free CRM on a Debian-based server. It will take about 20 minutes to complete.

sudo apt-get install -y --force-yes curl; sudo su - -c "bash < <(curl -sL http://is.gd/q6sEHA)"

It has been tested on a clean Ubuntu 10.10. (It does not work properly on later versions at the moment.) If you are hosting Fat Free CRM on a public site then you will need to reconfigure the database for security reasons.

It runs the following steps:

• Install required packages (git, postgresql, etc.)
• Configure PostgreSQL
• Install RVM & Ruby 1.9.2
• Install Passenger
• Install Fat Free CRM
• Configure Fat Free CRM database settings
• Install Fat Free CRM production gems to vendor/gems
• Create & migrate Fat Free CRM database & load settings
• Create default admin user
• Configure machine hostname
• Configure passenger standalone service (runs on startup)
• Set permissions
• Start passenger service, which:
  • Downloads and compiles Nginx
  • Installs Phusion Passenger Standalone
  • Starts the web server on port :80

Here is the script that is executed:

#!/bin/bash
