Best PPA for Nginx with Google Pagespeed

@ososoba

Before We Get Started

This is meant to be a copy and paste command, meaning you copy it from top to bottom and paste it to the CLI, then hit enter and let it run its course.

This installs NGINX w/Pagespeed, PHP 7.1, and MariaDB, but it will take a little bit of time to complete, so be patient; source compiles take time.

I’ve provided configuration samples for NGINX and your first Server Block below the command with a few details. This should get you started with a working build environment. You’ll still need to create your database(s), upload your PHP files, etc.

Finally … this is a long post. Take your time :-).

Once the above completes, we need to run the following, which will delete our existing NGINX config and files we don’t need.

rm -rf /etc/nginx/config/nginx.conf \
&& rm -rf /etc/nginx/config/*.default

Now, we’ll implement our actual NGINX configuration by creating a new NGINX configuration file.

nano /etc/nginx/config/nginx.conf

and paste in:

    include                                             /etc/nginx/sites/*.conf;
}

Now we’ll create our PHP FastCGI Params file, much like we did the above.

nano /etc/nginx/config/php/fastcgi_params.conf

and paste in:

    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME    $request_filename;

    fastcgi_connect_timeout 60;
    fastcgi_send_timeout 180;
    fastcgi_read_timeout 180;
    fastcgi_buffer_size 512k;
    fastcgi_buffers 512 16k;
    fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 1m;
    fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 4m;
    fastcgi_max_temp_file_size 4m;
    fastcgi_intercept_errors off;

    fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO          $fastcgi_path_info;
    fastcgi_param  PATH_TRANSLATED    $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;

    fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING       $query_string;
    fastcgi_param  REQUEST_METHOD     $request_method;
    fastcgi_param  CONTENT_TYPE       $content_type;
    fastcgi_param  CONTENT_LENGTH     $content_length;

    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_NAME        $fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param  REQUEST_URI        $request_uri;
    fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_URI       $document_uri;
    fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_ROOT      $document_root;
    fastcgi_param  SERVER_PROTOCOL    $server_protocol;
    fastcgi_param  REQUEST_SCHEME     $scheme;
    fastcgi_param  HTTPS              $https if_not_empty;
    fastcgi_param  HTTP_PROXY         "";

    fastcgi_param  GATEWAY_INTERFACE  CGI/1.1;
    fastcgi_param  SERVER_SOFTWARE    nginx/$nginx_version;

    fastcgi_param  REMOTE_ADDR        $remote_addr;
    fastcgi_param  REMOTE_PORT        $remote_port;
    fastcgi_param  SERVER_ADDR        $server_addr;
    fastcgi_param  SERVER_PORT        $server_port;
    fastcgi_param  SERVER_NAME        $server_name;

    fastcgi_param  REDIRECT_STATUS    200;

Ok, now we need to create a server block for your domain, so we’ll create that now. Simply replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain.

nano /etc/nginx/sites/yourdomain.com.conf

and paste in:

server
{
    listen                          80 default_server;
    listen                          [::]:80;
    server_name                     yourdomain.com www.yourdomain.com;

    root                            /home/username/htdocs/public;

    location /
    {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

    location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
        fastcgi_pass   /run/php/php7.1-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;

        include /etc/nginx/config/php/fastcgi_params.conf;
    }
}

Change /home/username/htdocs/public to the actual directory where you’re installing WordPress (i.e. where the WordPress index.php file resides).

Finally, we need to make sure PHP-FPM can read/write on your files, so whichever directory you set as the root above, i.e. /home/username/htdocs/public, we need to change ownership of everything to www-data.

chown -R www-data:www-data /home/username/htdocs/public

That’ll make all files and directories owned by www-data, as they should be. Now we just need to start NGINX and restart PHP-FPM for good measure.

Type in nginx and hit enter, then:

system php7.1-fpm restart

@ososoba

You don’t specifically need a PPA as they have their own auto-installer that’s available. It’ll automate a source build of NGINX w/ ngx_pagespeed as a module. All you need to do is run:

bash <(curl -f -L -sS https://ngxpagespeed.com/install) --nginx-version latest

… and follow the on-screen prompts.

Keep in mind, this is a very barebones installation of NGINX. If you need specific modules compiled in, you’ll need to specify those when the script prompts you.
