SUPERLAMP — All-in-One LAMP + SUPER Stack Installer & Service Manager

Author: Bocaletto Luca

SUPERLAMP is a Bash “app” for Debian/Ubuntu that automates, in one TUI-driven tool:

• Full LAMP stack (Apache2, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP + phpMyAdmin)
• FTP client/server (lftp, vsftpd) & Mail server (Postfix)
• Python 3 + pip/virtualenv, Git, build-essential & curl
• Node.js LTS via NodeSource, plus Composer & NVM
• Docker & Docker Compose
• Firewall (UFW) and intrusion protection (Fail2Ban)
• SSL provisioning (Certbot → Apache)
• “Smart” system maintenance:
  • TTL-based apt update
  • retry/backoff on APT failures
  • parallel downloads via apt-fast
  • unattended-upgrades for security patches
  • old-kernel cleanup & dist-upgrade
• Interactive Whiptail TUI for:
  • Selecting/installing components
  • Service status & start/stop/restart/enable/disable
  • Database setup wizard
  • New-site scaffolding & Apache vhost creation
• CLI flags: --dry-run, --verbose, --help

With SUPERLAMP you get a battle-tested, developer-friendly stack installer and service manager—perfect for rapid setup, safe automation and ongoing maintenance.
