Make a file inside `conf.d/` called `4get.conf` and place the following content: + * First run `touch conf.d/4get.conf` then `nano conf.d/4get.conf` to open the nano editor: *(Install it if it is not, or use another editor.)* + ```sh + server { + access_log /dev/null; # Search log file. Do you really need to? + error_log /dev/null; # Error log file. + + # Change this if you have 4get in another folder. + root /var/www/4get; + # Change 'yourdomain' to your domain. + server_name www.yourdomain.com yourdomain.com; + # Port to listen to. + listen 80; + + location @php { + try_files $uri.php $uri/index.php =404; + # Change the unix socket address if it's different for you. + fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock; + fastcgi_index index.php; + # Change this to `fastcgi_params` if you use a debian based distribution. + include fastcgi.conf; + fastcgi_intercept_errors on; + } + + location / { + try_files $uri @php; + } + + location ~* ^(.*)\.php$ { + return 301 $1; + } + + } + ``` + * The above is a very basic configuration and thus will need tweaking to your personal needs.

Don't just Copy and Paste it!)* + ```sh + http { + include mime.types; + include conf.d/*.conf; + types_hash_max_size 4096; + # ... + } + ``` + * Now, test your configuration with `nginx -t`, if it says that everything is good, restart *(or start)* the Nginx daemon: + * This depends on the init manager, most distributions use `systemd`, but it's better practice to include most. + ```sh + # systemd + systemctl stop nginx + systemctl start nginxt + # or + systemctl restart nginx + + # openrc + rc-service nginx stop + rc-service nginx start + # or + rc-service nginx restart + + # runit + sv down nginx + sv up nginx + # or + sv restart nginx + + # s6 + s6-rc -d change nginx + s6-rc -u change nginx + # or + s6-svc -r /run/service/nginx + + # dinit + dinitctl stop nginx + dinitctl start nginx + # or + dinitctl restart nginx + ``` +6. Clone the repository to `/var/www`: + * `git clone --depth 1 https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get 4get` - It clones the repository with the depth of one commit *(so it takes less time to download)* and saves the cloned repository as '4get'. +7. That should be it! There are some extra steps you can take, but it really just depends on you. + +<h2 align=center>Encryption setup</h2> + +1. Generate a certificate for the domain you're using with: + * Note that `certbot-nginx` is needed. + ```sh + certbot --nginx --key-type ecdsa -d www.yourdomain.com -d yourdomain.com + ``` +2. After that, certbot will deploy the certificate automatically to your 4get conf file; It should be ready to use from there. + +<h2 align=center>Tor Setup</h2> + +<div align=right> + +> IMPORTANT: Tor onion addresses are very long compared to traditional domains, so, Before doing anything, edit `nginx.conf` and increase <abbr title="This setting in your Nginx configuration controls the internal data structure used to manage multiple server names (hostnames) associated with your web server.

Find the line containing `# server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;` inside said file. +3. Uncomment the line and adjust the value; start with 64, but if you encounter issues, incrementally increase it *(e.g., 128, 256)* until it accommodates your configuration. +4. Open *(or duplicate the configuration)* and edit it: + * Example configuration, again: + ```sh + server { + access_log /dev/null; # Search log file.
