NGINX Install Script

[YSpoof]

It auto aborts the operation due to a missing '-y' on 'apt install nginx' line 9 ??? Since it cancels out the installation due to running next commands ( At least for me ).

Also, NGINX try to start on port 80 but I have Apache running, so I've needed to manually edit the NGINX config and remove that, maybe some option during the setup to ask if the user wants that ;)

BTW, Android still can't connect :( I dunno why.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll run tests and fix the script. I posted the changes without adequate testing, and was hoping it would "just work". Looks like I need to fix it!

And, yes, I'd like to add some options in the install script, including asking for the correct domain name for the VPS or server, nginx port, etc. I put the script together kinda quickly, so it was a first attempt.

Feel free to make changes to the script and fix it if you have time. I can merge PRs quickly if you have the time to create one.

No prob, just keep up the good work, y'all know that we can't test on every system/scenario on the planet, I was testing on a Debian 11 server.

Remove line 14 from NGinx Install.sh

"systemctl restart nginx"

Since the user will need to setup the certificate and the script will throw an error:

Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nginx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I updated the install script with your suggestions.

Cool, I c, now what would be awesome is the script pulling 2 nginx.conf, 1 for people who is already running another service on port 80 ( the warning u put is good, but people need to manuallly remove the http block from nginx.conf ) with http block removed from the nginx.conf, and other for people not running any service on port 80 ( the one u already have ).

@clayauld need to chmod +x /usr/local/bin/transparent-proxy inside the install.sh :

root@cenarioserver /home/zero 29s ❯ systemctl status transparent-proxy.service ● transparent-proxy.service - A script to enable transparent Nginx proxy Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/transparent-proxy.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2021-10-13 21:43:23 -03; 36s ago Process: 627444 ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/transparent-proxy (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) Main PID: 627444 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) CPU: 1ms

C this line :

out 13 21:43:23 cenarioserver systemd[627444]: transparent-proxy.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/local/bin/transparent-proxy: Permission denied

and after chmodding it, it works but if there are some way to fix this :

out 13 21:47:16 cenarioserver systemd[1]: transparent-proxy.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT out 13 21:47:16 cenarioserver systemd[1]: transparent-proxy.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

BTW appending exit 0 to transparent-proxy doesn't solve that status=2.

I updated the install script with the suggested line. When I run the command sudo systemctl status transparent-proxy I get the following log:

● transparent-proxy.service - A script to enable transparent Nginx proxy
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/transparent-proxy.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Oct 13 17:56:00 dns1.pi.hole systemd[1]: transparent-proxy.service: Succeeded.

This is the expected behavior as the service only needs to run the script once on boot. There should be no ongoing, active service in the background.

After you make sure the executable has the 'exec' flag set, reboot your system and see if the service gives you the same error.

I'll see about adding this as an option. It may take a bit for me to get it done and uploaded.
