Installing Redis from Source

To deploy Redis, download the source code from the official Redis website. Extract the archive and prepare the build enviroment:

tar -xvf redis-x.x.x.tar.gz
cd redis-x.x.x
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config

Compile the source code using the provided makefile:

make MALLOC=libc
sudo make install

Configure the systemd service to manage the Redis process by copying the configuration files to /etc/redis/ and the unit file to /etc/systemd/system/. Finally, reload the daemon and start the service:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now redis

Installing MySQL 8.0

For MySQL, it is recommended to use the generic Linux binary distribution. Download the .tar.xz file from the MySQL archives and extract it to /usr/local/mysql.

xz -d mysql-VERSION-linux-glibc2.17-x86_64.tar.xz
tar -xvf mysql-VERSION-linux-glibc2.17-x86_64.tar
mv mysql-VERSION-linux-glibc2.17-x86_64 /usr/local/mysql

Ensure the required dependencies are installed, such as libaio1 and libncurses5. Create the system user and group:

sudo groupadd mysql
sudo useradd -r -g mysql -s /bin/false mysql

Initialize the data directory and set appropriate permissions:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/mysql/data
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql
sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --initialize --user=mysql --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data

Create a my.cnf file in /etc/ to define your data directory, socket location, and port settings. Create a systemd unit file to enable the service via systemctl.

Installing Nginx

Nginx can be compiled from source to include specific modules. First, install the necessary development headers:

sudo apt install libpcre3-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev

Download the latest Nginx stable source, extract it, and prepare the build configuration:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nginx \
           --user=www-data \
           --group=www-data \
           --with-http_ssl_module \
           --with-http_stub_status_module
make
sudo make install

You can then start Nginx using the absolute path or by creating a symbolic link to /usr/local/bin/nginx. Test the installation by running the binary with the configuraton flag:

/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -c /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
