Install VPN (OpenVPN) Server on AWS EC2 Instance (Ubuntu)

ピメン.ヴィ.ブリタニア — Tue, 10 May 2022 02:18:18 +0000

I think you can use ec2 free tier to create your own vpn server instead of buying or using free limited vpn, hm...

First, you need to login to your aws console and find ec2 service, then create a new instance (launch intance):
***

Select free tier instance type
Generate your own key-pair (required to connect with ssh)
On network setting click edit
- Click add security group rule then add new rule for custom UDP with port range = 1194 and source type from anywhere
Then on Advanced detail setting scroll to bottom and you will find User data field, and fill with:



#! /bin/bash
apt-get update
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/angristan/openvpn-install/master/openvpn-install.sh

chmod +x openvpn-install.sh

APPROVE_INSTALL=y ENDPOINT=$(curl -4 ifconfig.co) APPROVE_IP=y IPV6_SUPPORT=n PORT_CHOICE=1 PROTOCOL_CHOICE=1 DNS=1 COMPRESSION_ENABLED=n  CUSTOMIZE_ENC=n CLIENT=david PASS=1 ./openvpn-install.sh

Then Launch instance.

After instance created, you can login into instance with your instance key-pair.pem, then you can install openvpn-install to generate your account/configuration file (.ovpn).

When installed, you can generate file by running:



sudo ./openvpn-install.sh

You can copy the configuration file into your local machine, and install OpenVpn client (windows) or Tunnelblick (MacOs), then CONNECT!!

Debug Docker PHP Project on PHPStorm using Xdebug

ピメン.ヴィ.ブリタニア — Sat, 04 Dec 2021 16:22:00 +0000

My First Article

In this article I will share my debugging experience with Xdebug on PHP development environment in Docker, but before going any further, I assume you are familiar with Docker, Docker Compose, and using PHPStorm as your IDE.

Preparation

This my structure code:

I put all of configuration for docker inside docker folder, but what conf we need for now is only :

nginx/nginx.conf
php/conf.d/php.ini
docker-compose.yml
Dockerfile

Below is all my configuration:

nginx/nginx.conf



server {
    listen 80;
    server_name web;

    error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
    error_page 404 /index.php;
    root /var/www/public;
    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass app:9000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
        fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $host;
    }
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
        gzip_static on;
    }
}

Dockerfile



FROM php:8.1.0-fpm

ADD https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/releases/latest/download/install-php-extensions /usr/local/bin/

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    git \
    curl \
    zip \
    nano \
    vim \
    unzip

RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/install-php-extensions && \
    install-php-extensions gd xdebug pdo-mysql

RUN docker-php-ext-install pdo pdo_mysql

RUN php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
RUN php composer-setup.php --install-dir=. --filename=composer
RUN mv composer /usr/local/bin/

COPY ../ /var/www/

WORKDIR /var/www

EXPOSE 9000

docker-compose.yml



version: '3.8'

services:
    app:
        build:
            context: ./
            dockerfile: Dockerfile
        image: myapp/php
        container_name: myapp
        restart: always
        working_dir: /var/www/
        volumes:
            - ../:/var/www
            - ./php/conf.d/php.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/php.ini
            - /tmp/xdebug:/tmp/xdebug
    nginx:
        image: nginx:1.19-alpine
        container_name: mywebserver
        restart: always
        ports:
            - 8000:80
        volumes:
            - ../:/var/www
            - ./nginx:/etc/nginx/conf.d

php/conf.d/php.ini
You just copy default php.ini and add these line of xdebug conf, and remember your xdebug.idekey value



[Xdebug]

xdebug.mode=debug,trace
xdebug.client_host=docker.for.mac.host.internal
xdebug.client_port=9003
xdebug.idekey = docker

note : host.docker.internal for linux

Let's debugging

I hope your container runs without any problems, then now we are going to configure PHPStorm.

Here we want to configure our PHP docker interpreter. a. Go to `Preferences > PHP, add new interpreter, select new interpreter from Docker, vagrant, etc...

b. Create new Server.

c. After selecting an Interpreter, we are going to map our working project with container path, my working project path is $HOME/DOO/api docker and I will map into /var/www/, so change the Docker container value:

d. This the result :

Xdebug configuration.
a. Go to Preferences > PHP > Debug, set like this:

b. Go to Preferences > PHP > Debug > Dbgp Proxy, set like this (note: IDE Key must same with the value of xdebug.idekey on php.ini):

c. Go to Run > Edit Configurations..., create a new PHP Remote Debug configuration:

d. Go to Run > Web Server Debug Validation, on Path to create validation script I point the value into my public path of project, and URL to validation script I point to my nginx docker host.
EXECUTE!
a. Set breakpoint, and turning on Start Listening for PHP Debug Connection

b. Go to Run > Debug then select the configuration what we made earlier (PHP Remote Debug):

c. Go to your endpoint, and add query string with parameter XDEBUG_SESSION_START and the value is your IDE Key, then execute! :

Taraaaaa!
