What is this?

Grover is a simple interactive Python tool that allows you to craft a complete web server with LEMP stack (nginx, MySQL, PHP7.0), Fail2Ban, Firewall, only-SSH login, disable root account and other tools with simple questions like What is your domain name?

At this time Grover is available only for Ubuntu servers.

Why should I use it?

It's free, open source and simple to use: why not?

Ok, got it. How can I start?

  1. Install pexcept with sudo apt-get install python3-pexpect
  2. Download grover in your server. SSH in it and execute wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DaniloPolani/grover/master/grover.py.
  3. Install python3, if you don't have it (you should, man).
  4. Execute sudo python3 grover.py and answer to the questions.

FAQs

  • Why should I launch the script with sudo privileges?

    • The script needs to update and install packages and edit files, so... It needs them.

  • What is a domain name?

    • Usually the domain name is your site domain without http and www, for example http://www.example.com will be example.com. If you are using a Load Balancer, type your machine IP.
