Anyone have an up-to-date web server setup guide they recommend?

Need to spin up nginx, with PHP, SQLLite (and maybe Redis). Want to ensure I'm following all modern best practices - I haven't done this in 3 or 4 years.

✅ Preferably with Ubuntu.

🙅‍♂️ Please don't tell me to use Docker

It's Friday so as told by the prophecy I return with Scraps, my little human-curated #roundup of links to some great #blog posts and other interesting content. The #indieweb, the #humanweb and the #infosec & #sysadmin worlds collide in this week's Scraps: fyr.io/scrap/2025-07-25

We're six (6) editions deep with no signs of slowing down. Take a look if you wish. You might find something you like!
