Ubuntu Web Development Server

This is a project I’ve been meaning to rewrite, as I get it going I’ll add screen shots and examples but for now I’ll work on the shell scripts

After installing base Ubuntu, set the root/sudo password so you can do installs cleaner.

After the below you will asked for the password of the account you created during install then you will be able set the root/sudo password.

sudo passwd
apt-get install openssh-server
service ssh restart

Now that you have root/sudo, type in “su” and type in the password, you’ll notice the $ changes to # after you are logged in.

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get autoremove

This script will give you some basic information about your machine, keep the text file as you will need it later.

#!/bin/bash

clear

## create variables
sUser="$(id -u -n)"
nUid="$(id -u)"
sHostname="$(hostname)"
sIP="$(hostname -I)"

## Check for root
[ $nUid -ne 0 ] && { echo "Only root may run this script"; exit 1; }

rm -f MachineInfo.txt

echo "User Name: " $sUser > MachineInfo.txt
echo "User ID: " $nUid >> MachineInfo.txt
echo "Machine/Host Name: " $sHostname >> MachineInfo.txt
echo "Machine IP Address(es): " $sIP >> MachineInfo.txt
echo  >> MachineInfo.txt
echo "Unix Distribution & Version:" >> MachineInfo.txt
lsb_release -a >> MachineInfo.txt

Example of this bash script:

User Name:  root
User ID:  0
Machine/Host Name:  MyDevBox
Machine IP Address(es):  10.10.1.101

Unix Distribution & Version:
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
