The definitive EasyEngine installer with fully functional backup-restore and SFTP functionalities included

raptor

Features

• One touch, three minute install
• Fully installs EasyEngine with all extra modules from the start and more
• Set-it-and-forget-it backups will automatically run a backup of all your sites every night and email you in case of failure
• Works with all EasyEngine site types
• Stores backups both locally and remotely [on S3]
• Encrypts all remote backups with a 42 character passphrase
• Backs up new sites automatically with no need to perform any additional action
• Requires no operations inside the individual websites, everything happens on the filesystem level completely unbeknownst to the websites themselves
• Does NOT rely on EasyEngine's database but rather directly scans your /var/www/ directory
• Performs a test restore before every S3 backup to ensure remote backup integrity and passphrase match
• Allows you to restore your backup with one single command and a maximum of three minutes of your time even from a blank machine you've never set up before
• Perfectly restores every aspect of every single EasyEngine website you're hosting, from your database, to all of your files [even outside htdocs], and so on
• Performs DNS checks and prompts you to activate LetsEncrypt on newly restored sites
• Actually [re-]installs and updates EasyEngine on install and restore operations to remove any extra step: you'll be fully operational with just one command
• Returns detailed errors in case of failure to help you get your data back during a restore
• Outputs clean and colorful logs and stores them automatically inside its own log directory
