Webinoly provides a powerful stack management system that allows you to install and configure server components individually or as a complete LEMP stack.

​
Installation Profiles

Webinoly offers several installation profiles to match your needs:

Full Stack

Complete LEMP stack with all tools (NGINX, PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, SSL, Backups, Redis, Memcached)

Basic Stack

LEMP core packages plus SSL and Backups

Light Stack

Only essential LEMP packages (NGINX, PHP, MySQL/MariaDB)

Partial Stack

Install individual components as needed

​
Complete LEMP Stack Installation

Install the complete stack with a single command: 
sudo stack -lemp
The -lemp option installs NGINX, PHP, and MySQL/MariaDB together. You can customize the installation with -build parameter.

​
Individual Component Installation

​
Installing NGINX

Install the NGINX web server:
1

Install NGINX

sudo stack -nginx
This installs and optimizes NGINX with Webinoly’s custom configuration.
2

Choose NGINX Version

Select between stable or mainline versions:
Stable Version (Recommended)
sudo stack -nginx=stable
Mainline Version
sudo stack -nginx=mainline
3

Verify Installation

Check NGINX status:
sudo systemctl status nginx
nginx -v

​
Installing PHP

Install PHP-FPM with all required extensions:
1

Install PHP

sudo stack -php
If NGINX is not installed, you’ll be prompted to install it.
2

PHP with NGINX

Install both NGINX and PHP together:
sudo stack -php=nginx
Webinoly automatically installs the following PHP extensions:
  • php-common, php-cli, php-fpm
  • php-curl, php-gd, php-imap
  • php-readline, php-mysql, php-mbstring
  • php-bcmath, php-zip, php-xml
  • php-soap, php-imagick, php-msgpack
  • php-igbinary, php-intl, php-opcache
  • graphviz, ghostscript

​
Installing MySQL/MariaDB

Install database server: 
sudo stack -mysql
During installation, root and admin passwords are automatically generated and securely stored. Database credentials are no longer displayed in the terminal for security reasons.

​
Build Options

Control what gets installed using build parameters: 
# Only core packages, no additional tools
sudo stack -lemp -build=light
