Teach you to deploy dynamic website Typecho system in Amazon cloud technology from 0 to 1

Typecho is a set of blog programs developed in PHP language, and also supports multiple databases (Mysql, PostgreSQL, SQLite). This article will demonstrate the process of deploying Typecho to aws.

Need to know the required dependencies before deploying

• EC2 (Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute, Elastic Cloud Compute, EC2 for short)
• RDS (Amazon Relational Database Service, Relational Database Service, RDS for short)
• LNMP (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP. No separate MySQL installation is required here)

Open EC2

In the AWS console, start an EC2 instance of the Linux system, I selected the image Ubuntu .

符合条件的免费套餐 is the free tier for AWS overseas regional accounts, you can sign up through this link, explore more than 100 products, and use the free tier to start building on AWS.

By default, only 22 ports are enabled in the security group. During testing, you can choose to enable all security groups by default, or add commonly used ports to the security group.

If there is no problem after review, click Start

Then you need to choose an existing key pair or create a new key pair to connect using ssh, otherwise you can only connect through the AMI built-in password or EC2 Instance Connect.

You can use an existing key pair. I created a new one here, fill in the key pair name, click Download Key Pair, and you can get a 密钥名称.pem file.

Click Start again. At this point, the instance we created is being started.

Click to view the instance details, get 公有 IPv4 DNS to connect:

For example the public DNS name of the instance is

 ec2-a-b-c-d.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

, the key pair is my_ec2_private_key.pem , use the following command to connect to the instance via SSH:

 ssh -i my_ec2_private_key.pem [e-mail]

Install LNMP

I chose to use the LNMP one-click installation package directly

 wget http://soft.vpser.net/lnmp/lnmp1.8.tar.gz -cO lnmp1.8.tar.gz && tar zxf lnmp1.8.tar.gz && cd lnmp1.8 && ./install.sh lnmp

The script needs to be executed by the root user, so we need to set the root user's password first

sudo passwd root

Use su root to switch to the root user, and execute ./install.sh lnmp again.

Installation of MySQL was skipped during installation, since we need to use RDS, there is no need to install it.

Wait for the installation to complete...

After the installation is complete, you can visit http://IP/phpinfo.php to view the PHP information.

Install Typecho

The official stable version of Typecho has not been released for a long time, and I am also contributing some code to Typecho recently, so here we will install the code of the development version first.

First use the lnmp vhost add command to create a site:

After the creation is completed, there is a default cross-directory access .user.ini , which can be removed by the tools/remove_open_basedir_restriction.sh script in the --- lnmp1.8 directory

./remove_open_basedir_restriction.sh

Go to the /home/wwwroot/ty.qq52o.cn directory to download the source code of the development version:

 cd /home/wwwroot/ty.qq52o.cn
wget https://github.com/typecho/typecho/releases/download/ci/typecho.zip
unzip typecho.zip
chown -R www:www ./*

In order to access the installer normally, the domain name needs to be resolved to the IP of EC2, so go to the service provider where the domain name is located to add resolution, add a cname resolution to the corresponding domain name, and the record value is 公有 IPv4 DNS .

After the parsing is successful, you can see the installation interface provided by Typecho.

Click to start the next step, we need to configure the database information, but since it is not installed at present, we can use SQLite to create it, and a SQLite database file address will be generated by default, click to install.

The next step is to add an administrator account and password.

After clicking Continue Installation, the installation steps are completed.

Default home page

console

Seeing this, it is not over yet, because we are using SQLite storage, we need to replace it with MySQL storage, continue to look down

Open RDS

Go to the RDS service of the aws console and create a MySQL engine database

Select the instance configuration in the configuration below, set the account password, click Create database, and wait for the database to be successfully created to obtain the endpoint and port.

Note that the database needs to be in the same VPC security group as EC2.

Since we are using SQLite just now, we need to use MySQL, so we need to delete the file to reinstall:

 cd /home/wwwroot/ty.qq52o.cn
#filename为刚才创建时自动生成的SQLite文件
rm usr/filename.db config.inc.php

Re-visit the domain name, and the installation interface you just saw will appear again. Enter the terminal node and port just obtained, and the configured account password:

When we clicked to start the installation, it reported an error: yes 不起, 无法连接数据库, 请先检查数据库配置再继续进行安装

This means that there is no database named typecho , so we need to manually create it

 #安装mysql client
apt install mysql-client-core-5.7 

#连接数据库 将终端节点替换为实际的 回车后输入密码再次回车进入数据库
mysql -uadmin -h终端节点 -p

#执行
create database typecho;

After the execution is successful, click again to start the installation and you will see the 创建您的管理员帐号 page, and fill in according to the previous steps.

After the installation is successful, you can enjoy the fun brought by Typecho~

Typecho is not only lightweight and efficient, but with only 7 data sheets and less than 400KB of code, a complete plug-in and template mechanism is realized. And native support for Markdown typesetting syntax, easy to read and easier to write.

Coupled with the use of EC2 + RDS, even in the face of sudden high traffic, it can easily cope with the required fast performance, high availability, and security.
