Gentoo Server Setup
From KdjWiki
After monitoring the situation for a while, I am now able to spin off this into my Gentoo Production Server Setup
Contents |
Pre-Setup - Detached
All configuration files (or samples at least) can be found on the Gentoo Config Files page.
1) Boot from CD
2) Set root password:
# passwd
3) Start SSH Server:
# /etc/init.d/sshd start
4) Determine IP address:
# ifconfig | grep "inet addr" | grep -v "127.0.0.1"
5) Connect from other computer:
$ ssh -l root {ip-address}
6) Detach Console:
# screen
HDD Setup (RAID)
Configure the disks with fdisk:
RAID 1
Assume 2 HDD - /dev/hda and /dev/hdc
- /dev/hda1 : type fd, size 100MB, boot flag = on
- /dev/hda2 : type 82 (swap), size 2xRAM size
- /dev/hda3 : type fd, size = remainder
Duplicate for /dev/hdc:
# sfdisk -d /dev/hda | sfdisk /dev/hdc
RAID-1 partitions (non-swap):
# mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/hda1 /dev/hdc1 # mdadm --create /dev/md2 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/hda3 /dev/hdc3
Make filesystems:
# mke2fs -j /dev/md0 # mkreiserfs /dev/md2 # mkswap /dev/hda2 # swapon /dev/hda2 # mkswap /dev/hdc2 # swapon /dev/hdc2
RAID 5
Note: This is unconfirmed
Assume 3 HDD - /dev/hda, /dev/hdb and /dev/hdc
- /dev/hda1 : type fd, size 100MB, boot flag = on
- /dev/hda2 : type 82 (swap), size 2xRAM size
- /dev/hda3 : type fd, size = remainder
Duplicate for /dev/hdb and /dev/hdc:
# sfdisk -d /dev/hda | sfdisk /dev/hdb # sfdisk -d /dev/hda | sfdisk /dev/hdc
RAID-5 partitions (non-swap):
# mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/hda1 /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdc1 # mdadm --create /dev/md2 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/hda3 /dev/hdb3 /dev/hdc3
Make filesystems:
# mke2fs -j /dev/md0 # mkreiserfs /dev/md2 # mkswap /dev/hda2 # swapon /dev/hda2 # mkswap /dev/hdb2 # swapon /dev/hdb2 # mkswap /dev/hdc2 # swapon /dev/hdc2
RAID 1,5
Final setup is RAID-1 for /boot partition (with 1 partition spare) and RAID-5 / partition.
Assume 3 HDD - /dev/hda, /dev/hdb and /dev/hdc
- /dev/hda1 : type fd, size 100MB, boot flag = on
- /dev/hda2 : type 82 (swap), size 2xRAM size
- /dev/hda3 : type fd, size = remainder
Duplicate for /dev/hdb and /dev/hdc:
# sfdisk -d /dev/hda | sfdisk /dev/hdb # sfdisk -d /dev/hda | sfdisk /dev/hdc
Create raidtab file:
# nano -w /etc/raidtab
such as:
# /boot (RAID 1 with hot-spare) raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 1 chunk-size 32 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/hda1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdc1 raid-disk 1 device /dev/hdb1 spare-disk 0 # / (RAID 5) raiddev /dev/md2 raid-level 5 nr-raid-disks 3 nr-spare-disks 1 persistent-superblock 1 chunk-size 32 parity-algorithm right-symmetric device /dev/hda3 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdb3 raid-disk 1 device /dev/hdcc raid-disk 2
Make RAID:
# mkraid /dev/md0 # mkraid /dev/md2
Make filesystems:
# mke2fs -j /dev/md0 # mkreiserfs /dev/md2 # mkswap /dev/hda2 # swapon /dev/hda2 # mkswap /dev/hdb2 # swapon /dev/hdb2 # mkswap /dev/hdc2 # swapon /dev/hdc2
Base System
Mount partitions:
# mount /dev/md2 /mnt/gentoo # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot # mount /dev/md0 /mnt/gentoo/boot
Prepare for install:
# date MMDDhhmmYYYY # cd /mnt/gentoo # tar -xvjpf /mnt/cdrom/stages/stage3*
Chroot to system:
# mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc # cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash # env-update # source /etc/profile
Set USE variables:
# nano -w /etc/make.conf
- USE="apache2 php mysql ssl -X -qt -gtk -gnome"
NOTE: You may also need to change your CFLAGS from -march= to -mcpu=
NOTE: -mcpu is now deprecated so you should try and use -march or -mtune

Monitoring and other System Management
System Resource Monitoring
$ sudo emerge slmon
And to run:
$ slmon
MySQL Monitor and Profiler This is (currently) masked for x86, so to emerge you need to run the following:
$ su - # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge mtop # exit
And to run:
$ mtop
Update : This doesn't currently appear to be working
MySQL, Apache & PHP
MySQL
$ sudo emerge mysql $ sudo mysql_install_db $ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start $ sudo rc-update add mysql default $ sudo nano -w /etc/mysql/my.cnf
- #bind-address = 127.0.0.1
$ sudo mysqladmin -u root -h {myserver} password '{mypassword}'
$ mysql -u root -p
Apache/PHP
$ sudo emerge apache php mod_php $ sudo emerge -s mod_php (get version) $ sudo ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-php/mod_php-x.x.x-rx/mod_php-x.x.x-rx.ebuild config $ sudo echo "APACHE_OPTS=\"-D SSL -D PHP4\"" >> /etc/conf.d/apache2
configure apache as defailed here
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start $ sudo rc-update add apache2 default
Log stats with awstats
$ sudo emerge awstats
awstats was installed into /usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.5/
Copy the config file to the apache configuration folder:
$ sudo cp /usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.5/postinst-en.txt /etc/apache2/conf/awstats.conf
Include in your apache configuration file:
$ sudo nano -w /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf Include conf/awstats.conf
Add that line in the virtual host you want to show stats.
Copy the awstats config file for each virtual host you want stats on:
$ sudo cp /etc/awstats/awstats.model.conf /etc/awstats/awstats.www.mydomain.com.conf
Customise the config file:
$ sudo nano -w /etc/awstats/awstats.www.mydomain.com.conf LogFile="/var/log/apache2/mydomain_access_log" SiteDomain="www.mydomain.com" HostAliases="www.mydomain.com localhost 127.0.0.1 REGEX[mydomain\.com$]" DirData="/var/log/apache2/mydomain"
Make stats data folder:
$ sudo mkdir /var/log/apache2/mydomain $ sudo chmod 777 /var/log/apache2/mydomain
Build stats file:
$ /usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.5/hostroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=www.mydomain.com -update
Test:
http://www.mydomain.com/awstats/awstats.pl?config=www.mydomain.com
Create daily cron job to update:
$ sudo nano -w /etc/cron.daily/awstats
such as:
#!/bin/bash /usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.5/hostroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=www.mydomain.com -update > /var/log/awstats_update.log 2>&1
If you have log rotation happening, you should ensure this happens after the rotation, and against the old logfile.
VOIP with Asterisk (incomplete)
Asterisk
Firstly you have to emerge asterisk:
$ sudo emerge asterisk
Add port (5060) forward on router
Configure a soft handset
Get softphone:
windows: http://iaxclient.sourceforge.net/iaxcomm/
Add to /etc/asterisk/sip.conf:
[iaxclient] type=friend username=iaxclient secret=mypassword context=iaxclient nat=yes host=dynamic defaultip=192.168.1.100
Add a default extension to /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf:
[iaxclient] ;exten => _X.,1,Answer ;exten => _X.,2,Wait(2) ;exten => _X.,3,Playback(tt-monkeys) ;exten => _X.,4,Hangup
(Re)start Asterix:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/asterisk restart
And test (dial home and see if you get the monkeys)
Other Things
Then get iptables:
$ sudo emerge iptables
Configure iptables:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/iptables save
Start (and auto-start):
$ sudo /etc/init.d/iptables start $ sudo rc-update add iptables default
Allow iptables to set the ToS (Type of Service):
$ sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -t mangle -p udp -m udp --dport 5060 -j DSCP --set-dscp 0x28 $ sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -t mangle -p udp -m udp --sport 10000:20000 -j DSCP --set-dscp 0x28
Mail Services with Postfix, MySQL, Fetchmail and Courier-IMAP (incomplete)
Postfix
Firstly you may have to unmerge ssmtp:
$ sudo emerge --unmerge ssmtp
Then emerge postfix:
$ sudo emerge postfix
Now configure:
/etc/postfix/main.cf
Uncomment/update:

/etc/mail/aliases
map aliases like root to real addresses, then activate:
$ sudo newaliases
Setup virtual mail folder:
if there is not a virtual user
$ sudo mkdir /var/spool/mail/virtual $ sudo groupadd virtual -g 5000 $ sudo useradd virtual -u 5000 -g 5000 $ sudo chown -R virtual:virtual /var/spool/mail/virtual
if there is alread a virtual user
$ sudo groupmod -g 5000 virtual $ sudo usermod -g virtual -u 5000 virtual $ sudo chown -R virtual:virtual /var/spool/mail/virtual
MySQL lookup files:
/etc/postfix/mysql_mailbox.cf
