nginx-pagespeed VS OrganizrInstaller

I’m unreasonably proud of setting up automated patching for NGINX to include PageSpeed: https://github.com/knyzorg/nginx-pagespeed

The whole project is basically just a ‘sed’ command, but piecing everything together (where to get the source code, how to build nginx, make Debian packages, publish packages, etc) was a major effort.

I found myself in the valley between people who didn’t know and had no means of learning, and those who knew and for whom it was obvious. I’ve learned a lot.

I recently returned to those notes to entirely automate the process using GitHub Actions. The work is open-source and available on GitHub.

Surprisingly few people seem to have heard of modpagespeed which I think can be attributed to an absence of packages coupled with the difficulty of installation.

I knew I had to build something like this the day GitHub actions came out, but haven't gotten around to it until the holidays!

I've downloaded the https://github.com/elmerfdz/OrganizrInstaller to automate the installation process, selected the second option to download only the file that i need and change the document root from /var/www/dash.example.com/web to /var/www/dash.example.com/web/html (to get to the correct location without the need to cp all of the file that might break if copied).

The guide is here. I purchased the domain from NameCheap, but am using Cloudfare as DNS. The connection is proxied according to Cloudfare.

Easy. If you're on windows, you can use organizr windows installer from here
