Script for fully automated composer-based installation of TYPO3 (v12.4 / v11.5) on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 root server with nginx, certbot, brotli, webp, ...

InstallTypo3.sh

# This Gist is deprecated.
#
# A complete rewrite is available as a proper repository:
# https://github.com/oliverthiele/server-install
#
# The new version supports TYPO3 v12 LTS and v13 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04/24.04,
# resume after failures, SSH hardening, resource tuning, and much more.

Line 17 should be
# typo3Version='^9.5';
without the double quotes.
Then the installation of 9.5 works.

Todo: I have add this to my.cnf:

[client]
default-character-set = utf8mb4

[mysql]
default-character-set = utf8mb4

[mysqld]
character-set-client-handshake = FALSE
character-set-server = utf8mb4
collation-server = utf8mb4_unicode_ci

Current version is WIP, but you can install now the complete TYPO3 10.4 on a Ubuntu 20.04. After installation with this script a login in the TYPO3 Backend is possible. Now the script generates .env files and the AdditionalConfiguration.php.

The current version now works with TYPO3 v12.4 LTS (can be switched to v11.5), but is still WIP. Monit e.g. can be installed but is not configured. New: it installs the zsh shell for root and www-data.

The following features have been added with the latest update:

• The script now works with Ubuntu 24
• Passwords are generated more securely
• Support for Brotli compression in nginx
• WebP extension with matching nginx configuration
• nvm / node / npm is available for www-data (e.g. for webpack frontend builds)
• yarn is no longer installed by default

Not everything is perfect yet, but it is already functional with these changes.

I will no longer be updating this script, as I have created a new Git repository:
