3-base-server README
====================

This 3rd `stage <https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-Contributors-Guide#ansible>`_ installs base server infra that `Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) <https://internet-in-a-box.org/>`_ requires, including:

- `MySQL <https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/roles/mysql>`_ (database underlying many/most user-facing apps).  This IIAB role also installs apt package:
   - **php{{ php_version }}-mysql** — which forcibly installs **php{{ php_version }}-common**
- `NGINX <https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/roles/nginx>`_ web server (with Apache in some lingering cases).  This IIAB role also installs apt package:
   - **php{{ php_version }}-fpm** — which forcibly installs **php{{ php_version }}-cli**, **php{{ php_version }}-common** and **libsodium23**
- `www_base <https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/roles/www_base>`_ (similar to `www_options <https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/roles/www_options>`_ which runs later in 4-server-options)

Recap: As with 0-init, 1-prep, 2-common, 4-server-options and 5-xo-services — this 3rd stage installs core server infra (that is not user-facing).

The next stage (4-server-options) brings more diverse/optional server infra functionality.
