== Pre-install considerations ==
=== ssl ===
Ssl [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_certificate wild card certificates] can use the same certificate to cover several subdomain names.  As in https://wiki.funtoo.org https://www.funtoo.org https://forums.funtoo.org can all use the same certificate.  https://funtoo.org would not be covered under the wildcard, so [[User:Threesixes|Threesixes]] ([[User talk:Threesixes|talk]]) suggests using http://domain.tld as a http navigation splash page directory.  All that is required to setup a ca signed ssl certificate is an email on the server.  https://www.startssl.com offers free ssl ca certificates, though there are several other certificate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority#Providers providers].  Many web apps require you set your URL & will have problems if your URL is set to http://, rather than https://
 
=== sockets vs tcp stack ===
Sockets have less overhead but can not be shared across jails, or to other machines.  Tcp stack has more overhead but is far more flexible.
 
=== Email Servers ===
* {{Package|mail-mta/postfix}} <-- default in Funtoo
* {{Package|mail-mta/ssmtp}}
* {{Package|mail-mta/exim}}
* {{Package|mail-mta/sendmail}}
* {{Package|mail-mta/nullmailer}}
 
=== FTP Servers ===
It is common practice to use FTP servers to host files for downloading.
 
* {{Package|net-ftp/vsftpd}}
* {{Package|net-ftp/proftpd}}
* {{Package|net-ftp/pure-ftpd}}
* {{Package|net-ftp/qshare}}
 
== Webserver ==
Web servers come in several varieties.  The most common stack is known as LAMP which stands for linux apache mysql php.  [[User:Threesixes|Threesixes]] ([[User talk:Threesixes|talk]]) suggests setting up the web server stack by selecting the database first, then scripting language second, and web server 3rd.
 
=== Databases ===
* {{Package|dev-db/mysql}}
mariadb is a drop in replacement for mysql <-- default in Funtoo
* {{Package|dev-db/mariadb}}
percona is a drop in replacement for mysql
* {{Package|dev-db/percona-server}}
* {{Package|dev-db/postgresql-server}}
* {{Package|dev-db/sqlite}}
 
=== Languages ===
* {{Package|dev-lang/php}}
* {{Package|dev-lang/perl}}
* {{Package|dev-lang/python}}
 
=== Web Servers ===
* {{Package|www-servers/apache}}
* {{Package|www-servers/cherokee}}
* {{Package|www-servers/nginx}}
* {{Package|www-servers/tengine}}
* {{Package|www-servers/lighttpd}}
 
 
=== SSL Termination, Reverse Proxies, & load balancing ===
Reverse proxies are useful, some cache static data, and shuck out cached pages rather than hitting the web server.  Some pass requests to backend nodes high availability clustering your website, some web servers have this functionality built in.
 
* {{Package|www-servers/nginx}}
* {{package|net-misc/stunnel}}
* {{package|www-servers/pound}}
* {{Package|www-servers/varnish}}
* {{Package|net-proxy/squid}}
 
== Post install ==
There are several considerations to take into account with a web server install, such as setting up an email server, setting up a firewall, firewalling web applications, and dynamically firewalling attackers.
 
=== Firewalls ===
* {{Package|net-firewall/nftables}}
* {{Package|net-firewall/iptables}}
* {{Package|net-firewall/firewalld}}
* {{Package|net-firewall/ufw}}
 
=== Dynamic Firewalling ===
* {{Package|app-admin/sshguard}}
* {{Package|net-analyzer/fail2ban}}
 
=== Benchmarking ===
It's a good idea to benchmark your system, server, & websites. There are several tools to assist you in doing this.
 
* http://yslow.org/
* http://getfirebug.com/
* {{Package|app-admin/apache-tools}}
* {{Package|app-benchmarks/sysbench}}
* {{Package|app-benchmarks/phoronix-test-suite}}
* {{Package|app-benchmarks/iozone}}
* {{Package|app-benchmarks/piozone}}
* {{Package|app-benchmarks/siege}}
* {{Package|app-benchmarks/ramspeed}}
* {{Package|app-benchmarks/jmeter}}
