<ul>
<li>Shaarli is installed in a directory readable/writeable by the user</li>
<li>the correct read/write permissions have been granted to the web server <em>user and/or group</em></li>
<li>for HTTPS / SSL:</li>
<li>a key pair (public, private) and a certificate have been generated</li>
<li>the appropriate server SSL extension is installed and active</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="https-tls-and-self-signed-certificates">HTTPS, TLS and self-signed certificates</h3>

<li><a href="https://workaround.org/certificate-authority">How do I create my own Certificate Authority?</a><a href=".html"></a></li>
<li>Generate a self-signed certificate (will trigger browser warnings) with apache2: <code>make-ssl-cert generate-default-snakeoil --force-overwrite</code> will create <code>/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem</code> and <code>/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key</code></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="proxies">Proxies</h3>
<p>If Shaarli is served behind a proxy (i.e. there is a proxy server between clients and the web server hosting Shaarli), please refer to the proxy server documentation for proper configuration. In particular, you have to ensure that the following server variables are properly set:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>X-Forwarded-Proto</code>;</li>
<li><code>X-Forwarded-Host</code>;</li>
<li><code>X-Forwarded-For</code>.</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="htaccess">.htaccess</h3>
<p>Shaarli use <code>.htaccess</code> Apache files to deny access to files that shouldn't be directly accessed (datastore, config, etc.). You need the directive <code>AllowOverride All</code> in your virtual host configuration for them to work.</p>
<p><strong>Warning</strong>: If you use Apache 2.2 or lower, you need <a href="https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_version.html">mod_version</a> to be installed and enabled.<a href=".html"></a></p>
<h2 id="lighthttpd">LightHttpd</h2>
<h2 id="nginx">Nginx</h2>
<h3 id="foreword">Foreword</h3>
<p>Nginx does not natively interpret PHP scripts; to this effect, we will run a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FastCGI">FastCGI</a> service, to which Nginx's FastCGI module will proxy all requests to PHP resources.<a href=".html"></a></p>
<p>Required packages:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://nginx.org">nginx</a><a href=".html"></a></li>
<li><a href="http://php-fpm.org">php-fpm</a> - PHP FastCGI Process Manager<a href=".html"></a></li>

</ul>
<h3 id="common-setup">Common setup</h3>
<p>Once Nginx and PHP-FPM are installed, we need to ensure:</p>
<ul>
<li>Nginx and PHP-FPM are running using the <em>same user and group</em></li>
<li>both these user and group have
<ul>
<li><code>read</code> permissions for Shaarli resources</li>
<li><code>execute</code> permissions for Shaarli directories <em>AND</em> their parent directories</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>On a production server:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>user:group</code> will likely be <code>http:http</code>, <code>www:www</code> or <code>www-data:www-data</code></li>
<li>files will be located under <code>/var/www</code>, <code>/var/http</code> or <code>/usr/share/nginx</code></li>
</ul>
<p>On a development server:</p>
<ul>
<li>files may be located in a user's home directory</li>
<li>in this case, make sure both Nginx and PHP-FPM are running as the local user/group!</li>
</ul>
<p>For all following configuration examples, this user/group pair will be used:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>user:group = john:users</code>,</li>
</ul>
<p>which corresponds to the following service configuration:</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode ini"><code class="sourceCode ini"><span class="co">; /etc/php/php-fpm.conf</span>
<span class="dt">user </span><span class="ot">=</span><span class="st"> john</span>
<span class="dt">group </span><span class="ot">=</span><span class="st"> users</span>
<span class="kw">[...][]</span><span class="dt">(.html)</span>
<span class="dt">listen.owner </span><span class="ot">=</span><span class="st"> john</span>
<span class="dt">listen.group </span><span class="ot">=</span><span class="st"> users</span></code></pre></div>
<pre class="nginx"><code># /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
user john users;
http {
[...][](.html)
}</code></pre>
<h3 id="optional-increase-the-maximum-file-upload-size">(Optional) Increase the maximum file upload size</h3>
<p>Some bookmark dumps generated by web browsers can be <em>huge</em> due to the presence of Base64-encoded images and favicons, as well as extra verbosity when nesting links in (sub-)folders.</p>
<p>To increase upload size, you will need to modify both nginx and PHP configuration:</p>
<pre class="nginx"><code># /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
http {
[...][](.html)
client_max_body_size 10m;
[...][](.html)
}</code></pre>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode ini"><code class="sourceCode ini"><span class="co"># /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini</span>
<span class="kw">[...][]</span><span class="dt">(.html)</span>

<h3 id="modular">Modular</h3>
<p>The previous setup is sufficient for development purposes, but has several major caveats:</p>
<ul>
<li>every content that does not match the PHP rule will be sent to client browsers:
<ul>
<li>dotfiles - in our case, <code>.htaccess</code></li>
<li>temporary files, e.g. Vim or Emacs files: <code>index.php~</code></li>
</ul></li>
<li>asset / static resource caching is not optimized</li>
<li>if serving several PHP sites, there will be a lot of duplication: <code>location /shaarli/</code>, <code>location /mysite/</code>, etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>To solve this, we will split Nginx configuration in several parts, that will be included when needed:</p>
<pre class="nginx"><code># /etc/nginx/deny.conf
location ~ /\. {
# deny access to dotfiles
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
deny all;
}
location ~ ~$ {
# deny access to temp editor files, e.g. "script.php~"
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
deny all;
}</code></pre>
<pre class="nginx"><code># /etc/nginx/php.conf
location ~ (index)\.php$ {
# filter and proxy PHP requests to PHP-FPM
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi.conf;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
# deny access to all other PHP scripts
deny all;
}</code></pre>
<pre class="nginx"><code># /etc/nginx/static_assets.conf
location ~* \.(?:ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$ {
expires max;
add_header Pragma public;
add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
}</code></pre>
<pre class="nginx"><code># /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

<h3 id="redirect-http-to-https">Redirect HTTP to HTTPS</h3>
<p>Assuming you have generated a (self-signed) key and certificate, and they are located under <code>/home/john/ssl/localhost.{key,crt}</code>, it is pretty straightforward to set an HTTP (:80) to HTTPS (:443) redirection to force SSL/TLS usage.</p>
