This is the first of three videos about how to set up a webserver (and how to set up a blog or website on Linux). I'll show you how to install and configure the powerful LEMP webserver stack (Linux Operating System, nginx Webserver, MySQL Database, and PHP interpreter).
Finally I'll show you how to install WordPress on Linux (specifically, on top of this LEMP stack).
We're using Nginx because it's a hot skill to have, because it's more future-proof and performant than Apache out-of-the-box, and because it's really a really fun and versatile tool to work with.
