Warning: Your existing nginx/php/mariadb setup will be over written. Up to now I tested this only on newly installed AWS EC2 Ubuntu, Dedian and CentOS machines. So backup of your existing configuration is a good advice.

Requirements

Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, CentOS 7 or Debian 9

Not yet tested with other versions and flavours of Linux.
