The Packages
First thing’s first. Update Ubuntu and get the the Nginx and PHP packages.# sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade # sudo apt-get -y install nginx php7.0 php7.0-fpmWhen the installation is finished, the packages should all be in place, and actually running. To make sure that this is the case, you can check that both Nginx and the PHP-FPM services are running in Systemd.
# sudo systemctl status nginx # sudo systemctl status php7.0-fpmIf Systemd confirms that both services are running, the server should actually be up, and you should be able to see the default Nginx welcome page by navigating to
localhost in the browser. - Details

Installing the Packages
There are a couple of packages needed before Ruby can be installed in set up, and no, Ruby isn’t one of them. Since this tutorial is going to be using the Ruby Version Manager, or RVM, to manage Ruby, there’s no need to install the package through Ubuntu. There are a couple of packages that RVM needs in order to work and one that never seems to get pulled in by gem installs(nodejs).# sudo apt-get install build-essential curl nodejs

Introduction
Approx is a proxy server for Debian archive files. Having such a service within your LAN with multiple Debian like systems will provide you with number of benefits such as update speed since any update package needs to be downloaded only once. This will also lower down Internet download usage requirements, etc. This article will describe a process of approx setup for Ubuntu Linux.
Installation
As any other installation from standard Ubuntu repository, installation of the approx apt proxy server is a fairy simple process. Install the approx apt proxy server with:

Introduction
This article will deal with installation and configuration of WebDAV server on Ubuntu Linux. WebDAV stands for Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning and allows connected users the edit and share data online via the HTTP protocol. This makes WebDAV a popular choice for developers when combined, for example, with Subversion or OpenLink Virtuoso. WebDAV is supported by number of clients ranging from davfs2, which makes it possible to mount the WebDAV's data storage to include into the local filesystem. This can be done with the mount command to various GUI applications with the native WebDAV support such as Nautilus, konqueror, etc. Futhermore, in this guide we will combine WebDAV with the Apache2 server.
Scenario
In this section I would like to describe a scenario used in this tutorial. WebDAV can be very flexible service, which allows for number of configuration settings and scenarios. In this WebDAV tutorial we will start with the simplest basic startup WedDAV configuration and from there we will build it up to fit more complex environment. You can think of WebDAV as a HTTP extension for your existing website configuration. Normally, you may already have your apache website up and running. Thus, in that case, all you need to do to in order to include the WevbDAV service is to:
- create additional upload data directory to use by WebDAV
- configure your existing apache2 virtual host file
However, in this guide we will start from scratch starting from apache2 installation, virtual host creation, etc. Therefore, feel free to skip to any section most appropriate to your configuration requirement.
