Mac OS X setup

Setup Mac OS X

I've done the same process every couple years since 2013 (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, High Sierra, Catalina) and I updated the Gist each time I've done it.

I kinda regret for not using something like Boxen (or anything similar) to automate the process, but TBH I only actually needed to these steps once every couple years...

Lightning Fast WordPress: Caddy+Varnish+PHP-FPM

README

This gist assumes you are migrating an existing site for www.example.com — ideally WordPress — to a new server — ideally Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS — and wish to enable HTTP/2 (backwards compatibile with HTTP/1.1) with always-on HTTPS, caching, compression, and more. Although these instructions are geared towards WordPress, they should be trivially extensible to other PHP frameworks, other FastCGI backends, and even non-FastCGI backends (using proxy in lieu of fastcgi in the terminal Caddyfile stanza).

Quickstart: Use your own naked and canonical domain names instead of example.com and www.example.com and customize the Caddyfile and VCL provided in this gist to your preferences!

These instructions target Varnish Cache 4.1, PHP-FPM 7.0, and Caddy 0.10. (I'm using MariaDB 10.1 as well, but that's not relevant to this guide.)

OpenConnect VPN on Mac OS X

Unfortunately, the Cisco AnyConnect client for Mac conflicts with Pow. And by "conflicts", I mean it causes a grey-screen-of-death kernel panic anytime you connect to the VPN and Pow is installed.

As an alternative, there is OpenConnect, a command-line client for Cisco's AnyConnect SSL VPN.

Here's how to get it set up on Mac OS X:

  1. OpenConnect can be installed via homebrew:

     brew update
    

brew install openconnect
