 +====== CentOS Bare Stack ======
  
 +  * [[CentOS]]
 +  * [[CentOS Deployment]]
 +  * [[Apache Source Installation]]
 +  * [[OpenSSL Source Installation]]
 +
 +Goals:
 +
 +  * Strip an existing install of CentOS packages
 +  * Use CentOS development tools (gcc, make, autoconf, etc.)
 +  * Build AMP stack manually for future maintenance
 +  * Duplicate standard CentOS install locations (using /usr as prefix, etc.)
 +
 +==== Minimal Install ====
 +
 +Since it's more likely than not that you are starting with an existing CentOS install, the first place to begin is by stripping it down to its basics.  There are some packages you'll want to download first to make sure you have access to fetch things from the Internet.
 +
 +Here are some basics you should download the source files for before removing any packages:
 +
 +  * openssl
 +  * elinks
 +  * screen
 +  * vim
 +  * dropbear
 +  * openssh
 +  * htop
 +
 +== Current Package Set ==
 +
 +Get a list of the currently installed programs:
 +
 +<code>
 +yum list installed | cut -d " " -f 1
 +</code>
 +
 +==== Remove Packages ====
 +
 +There is a list of "safe" packages that can be removed without affecting any existing LAMP systems:
 +
 +<code>
 +yes N | yum remove `curl -s http://centos.digitaltrike.com/minimal/remove-packages/safe`
 +</code>
 +
 +=== Base Packages ===
 +
 +Need to reinstall:
 +
 +  * sudo
 +  * vim
 +
 +<code>
 +yes N | yum remove `curl -s http://centos.digitaltrike.com/minimal/remove-packages/base`
 +</code>
 +
 +== sudo ==
 +
 +You will need the pam.d sudo file, since yum will remove it.
 +
 +<code>
 +yum -y remove sudo
 +wget http://centos.digitaltrike.com/minimal/pam.d/sudo -O /etc/pam.d/sudo
 +</code>
 +
 +You will also need to run ''visudo'' again to setup proper permissions.
 +
 +=== Desktop Packages ===
 +
 +Need to reinstall:
 +
 +  * gd
 +  * ImageMagick
 +
 +<code>
 +yes N | yum remove `curl -s http://centos.digitaltrike.com/minimal/remove-packages/desktop`
 +</code>
 +
 +=== System Packages ===
 +
 +<code>
 +yes N | yum remove `curl -s http://centos.digitaltrike.com/minimal/remove-packages/system`
 +</code>
 +
 +==== Install Packages ====
 +
 +First let's start with the base system, and the applications you are already familiar with.  Install these from source:
 +
 +  * htop
 +  * unfoo
 +  * vim
 +  * libpng
 +  * libjpeg
 +  * libgd
 +  * imagemagick
 +
 +=== vim ===
 +
 +Create a symlink when finished for CentOS compatability:
 +
 +<code>
 +ln -s /usr/bin/vim /bin/vi
 +</code>
 +
 +=== OpenSSL ===
 +
 +You'll need to keep the OpenSSL libraries that are installed with CentOS to maintain the existing system.  You can upgrade to the latest OpenSSL version and overwrite the old install, if desired.
 +
 +=== OpenSSH ===
 +
 +Install binary as needed, then download the pam.d and init.d files, and add the script to startup:
 +
 +<code>
 +mkdir -p /var/empty/sshd/etc
 +chmod 0711 /var/empty/sshd
 +wget http://centos.digitaltrike.com/init.d/sshd -O /etc/init.d/sshd
 +chmod +x /etc/init.d/sshd
 +wget http://centos.digitaltrike.com/minimal/pam.d/sshd -O /etc/pam.d/sshd
 +chkconfig --add sshd
 +chkconfig sshd on
 +</code>
 +
 +=== ImageMagick ===
 +
 +You'll need some development libraries before installing:
 +
 +CentOS packages:
 +
 +<code>
 +yes N | yum install `curl -s http://centos.digitaltrike.com/minimal/install-packages/graphics`
 +</code>
 +
 +Source libraries:
 +
 +  * [[http://centos.digitaltrike.com/minimal/config/config-gd|config-gd]]
 +  * [[http://centos.digitaltrike.com/minimal/config/config-jpeg|config-jpeg]]
 +  * [[http://centos.digitaltrike.com/minimal/config/config-libpng|config-libpng]]
 +
 +Once all the libraries are installed, you can install ImageMagick:
 +
 +  * [[http://centos.digitaltrike.com/minimal/config/config-imagemagick|config-imagemagick]]
 +
 +=== Apache ===
 +
 +  * [[http://dev.digitaltrike.com/~steve/downloads/centos/minimal/config/config-httpd|config-httpd]]
 +
 +Safely remove Apache and related applications:
 +
 +<code>
 +yes N | yum remove `curl -s http://centos.digitaltrike.com/minimal/remove-packages/httpd`
 +</code>
 +
 +Apache comes with templates for directory layouts in ''config.layout''.  In this case, use ''--enable-layout=RedHat''
 +
 +=== ruby ===
 +
 +Ruby is a little different, in that you cannot install it directly from the source code, because it requires a previous version of ruby installed to do that.  You can, instead, use rvm to install it:
 +
 +<code>
 +echo insecure >> ~/.curlrc
 +curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
 +gpasswd -a dtrike rvm
 +source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
 +rvm install 1.9.3
 +</code>
