Scripts Repository

About This Repository

This repository contains a collection of enhanced and complex installer scripts that I use internally for automation (also with Terraform and Ansible). These scripts help me quickly deploy and switch between different versions of NGINX, OpenSSH (as well as Docker, Ansible, Terraform, and Kubernetes) on various systems. The idea is to have a simple, one-command installation that can easily be updated or switched between versions when needed.

How to Run a Script

Run Directly

To run a script directly without saving it, use the following command in a terminal.

Choose between the main branch (stable) or testing branch (latest features) depending on your needs.

MAIN BRANCH (STABLE - RECOMMENDED)

Use the main branch for production environments and stable deployments.

Shell Scripts (.sh) - Main Branch

nginx_installer.sh

This script installs a custom compiled NGINX with OpenSSL 3.5.1 for improved HTTP/3 and QUIC support. The build includes performance optimizations.

nginx_installer.sh - Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Stensel8/scripts/main/.sh/nginx_installer.sh \
  | sudo env CONFIRM=yes bash -s install

nginx_installer.sh - Verify

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Stensel8/scripts/main/.sh/nginx_installer.sh \
  | sudo env CONFIRM=yes bash -s verify

nginx_installer.sh - Remove

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Stensel8/scripts/main/.sh/nginx_installer.sh \
  | sudo env CONFIRM=yes bash -s remove

Features:

• NGINX 1.29.0
• OpenSSL 3.5.1 with enhanced QUIC support
• HTTP/3 module enabled
• Full feature set including mail, stream, and all standard modules

Note: The script will detect existing NGINX installations and offer to remove them before installing the custom build.

openssh_installer.sh - Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Stensel8/scripts/main/.sh/openssh_installer.sh \
  | sudo env CONFIRM=yes bash -s install

openssh_installer.sh - Verify

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Stensel8/scripts/main/.sh/openssh_installer.sh \
  | sudo env CONFIRM=yes bash -s verify

openssh_installer.sh - Remove

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Stensel8/scripts/main/.sh/openssh_installer.sh \
  | sudo env CONFIRM=yes bash -s remove

Features:

• Installs OpenSSH server from system package manager
• Applies hardened security configuration
• Generates strong host keys (ED25519 + RSA 3072-bit)
• Removes weak legacy keys (DSA, ECDSA)
• Enforces modern cryptographic algorithms
• Disables insecure features and protocols
• Compatible with Windows 11 and modern SSH clients

Note: The script installs OpenSSH from the system package manager and applies security hardening. It will warn if run over SSH and provides service management instructions.
