debian / nginx users- do you get your lamp packages from dotdeb.org?

Do they have more secured packages than from debian?

As far as I know- php5-fpm is not yet in debian repos- only available in dotdeb.org.

  • I get them from dotdeb, yes. The primary advantage is that dotdeb has more up-to-date packages for nginx, and of course, has php5-fpm, which debian stable doesn't have. I wouldn't say they're any more or less secure though.

  • Is as secure as compiling the packages yourself. They patch vulnerabilities very fast also.

    They? Dotdeb is single person project.

    Idk

    With a quite large community :-) Patch always came quickly!

  • nope, i get nginx from backports.

    Just add to your squeeze /etc/apt/sources.list

    deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main contrib non-free 

    and

     apt-get -t squeeze-backports install nginx

    same for tmux (terminal multiplexer, much better than screen), nsd3 and a few more packages

  • @marrco said: nope, i get nginx from backports.

    Same here.
    And uwsgi and php-fpm from testing/unstable (yep, it's a minefield, I know)

  • @breton said: from testing/unstable (yep, it's a minefield, I know)

    It can break your package system,lol

  • @yomero said: It can break your package system,lol

    he always do that for sure.. :P [/joke]

  • I do, I used to compile them myself but I realized I didn't get any more advantage since I'm just re-compiling what dotdeb offers with no extra options.

    Plus now it's just 2 lines to update.

    Me too used to compile everithing from souce, then I found dotdeb and switched to the precompiled. I manage a few web clusters (frontends nginx, backends php-fpm, mix of 32/64 bits servers) and with packages they are a bit easy to manage ;)

    lol i always got mine from http://lnmp.org/ now i dont have to endure trying to figure out what those chinese characters mean

    EDIT: so how do you setup a web server using this? on lnmp you just fetch the archive, extract it and run debian.sh :)

  • @yowmamasita said: EDIT: so how do you setup a web server using this? on lnmp you just fetch the archive, extract it and run debian.sh :)

    sudo apt-get install nginx php5-fpm mysql-server-5.5

    done.

    Thanked by 1yowmamasita

    That's it? LOL i feel retarded

  • @yowmamasita said: That's it? LOL i feel retarded

    Took me a while to figure out that the sources overwrite the stock one too.

  • I get my PHP-FPM and MySQL packages from Dotdeb, but i compile my Nginx myself.
