Installation

Webinoly provides a simple installation process that downloads and configures everything you need to run a production-ready web server.

​
Prerequisites

Before installing Webinoly, ensure your server meets the requirements.
You must have root or sudo access to install Webinoly.

​
Installation methods

Webinoly offers several installation options depending on your needs: Install the complete stack with NGINX, PHP, and MariaDB: 
wget -qO weby qrok.es/wy && sudo bash weby
This is the default option and installs:
  • NGINX web server
  • PHP 8.4 (default)
  • MariaDB 11.8 (default)
  • Essential tools and optimizations

​
Option 2: HTML server only

Install only NGINX for serving static HTML sites: 
wget -qO weby qrok.es/wy && sudo bash weby -nginx

​
Option 3: PHP server

Install NGINX and PHP without a database: 
wget -qO weby qrok.es/wy && sudo bash weby -php

​
Option 4: Clean install

Install only the Webinoly application without any stack components: 
wget -qO weby qrok.es/wy && sudo bash weby -clean
With a clean install, you can build your stack later using the sudo stack -lemp command.

​
Installation process

1

Download the installer

The installation script is downloaded from qrok.es/wy using wget. This is a shortened URL that points to the latest stable release.
wget -qO weby qrok.es/wy
2

Run the installer

Execute the installation script with sudo privileges:
sudo bash weby
The installer will:
  • Check for OS compatibility (Ubuntu 24.04 or 22.04)
  • Verify architecture (arm64 or x86_64)
  • Download the latest Webinoly package
  • Extract files to /opt/webinoly
  • Install selected components
3

Wait for completion

The installation process typically takes 5-15 minutes depending on your server speed and selected options. You’ll see progress messages as components are installed.
4

Verify installation

After installation completes, verify everything is working:
sudo webinoly -version
You should see the installed version number (currently 1.20.0).

​
Installation options

The installation script accepts several parameters:
OptionDescription
-nginxInstall only NGINX (HTML server)
-phpInstall NGINX + PHP
-lempInstall full LEMP stack (default)
-cleanInstall only Webinoly app
-ver=X.X.XInstall specific version

​
Install specific version

To install a specific version of Webinoly: 
wget -qO weby qrok.es/wy && sudo bash weby -ver=1.19.0
Installing older versions may not be supported on newer Ubuntu releases. Webinoly 1.18.0+ is required for Ubuntu 24.04.

​
Version compatibility

Webinoly version support varies by Ubuntu release: 
# Requires Webinoly 1.18.0 or newer
wget -qO weby qrok.es/wy && sudo bash weby

​
Post-installation

After installation, Webinoly creates:
  • Configuration file: /opt/webinoly/webinoly.conf
  • Commands: Installed in /usr/bin/
  • NGINX configs: /etc/nginx/
  • Site files: /var/www/
Be sure your firewall ports are correctly configured. You’ll need to allow:
  • Port 80 (HTTP)
  • Port 443 (HTTPS)
  • Port 22 (SSH)
  • Port 22222 (Webinoly admin tools, optional)
See firewall configuration for details.

​
Updating Webinoly

To update an existing Webinoly installation: 
sudo webinoly -update
The update process:
  • Downloads the latest version
  • Preserves your configuration
  • Updates stack components if needed
  • Verifies the installation
Your sites and configurations are preserved during updates. The update command uses the existing installation script with the upd parameter.

​
Configuration file

Webinoly stores its configuration in /opt/webinoly/webinoly.conf. This file contains:
  • Installed component versions
  • Default PHP version
  • Database engine (MariaDB or MySQL)
  • Tools port configuration
  • Email settings
  • Custom preferences
Do not manually edit the configuration file unless you know what you’re doing. Use Webinoly commands to modify settings.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Installation fails

If installation fails, check:
  1. You’re using a supported Ubuntu version
  2. You have root/sudo access
  3. Your server has internet connectivity
  4. You have at least 512MB RAM available

​
Verify installation

Run the verification command to check for issues: 
sudo webinoly -verify
This will check:
  • All installed components
  • Configuration files
  • File permissions
  • Service status

​
Clean reinstall

If you need to start fresh: 
# Uninstall Webinoly
sudo webinoly -uninstall

# Reinstall
wget -qO weby qrok.es/wy && sudo bash weby

​
