Litespeed on Debian 12

Install Debian Packages

My examples use root login, rather than “sudo …….” commands.

Please see my article on OpenLitespeed on Debian 11 for all configurations once the OpenLiteSpeed package has been installed without “apt update” warnings or errors.

Reference: https://imperioweb.net/en/how-to-install-openlitespeed-debian-12-bookworm

The steps in the reference above will work if followed exactly. I don’t use “echo” commands for configurations files, but use the vi (or nano) editor to create the file entries.

Basically:

echo "vm.swappiness=10" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "vm.vfs_cache_pressure=200" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
sysctl -w vm.swappiness=10
sysctl -w vm.vfs_cache_pressure=200
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=1048576
mkswap /swapfile
chmod 600 /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
echo "/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
free -m

apt update
apt upgrade

wget -O - https://repo.litespeed.sh | sudo bash
apt update

[# apt install openlitespeed --> until Debian 12 provides the package for this, it will not work, so we continue as follows:]

vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lst_debian_repo.list
deb http://rpms.litespeedtech.com/debian/ bullseye main

[save and exit so this is the only line in the file]

vi /etc/apt/preferences.d/openlitespeed-preferences
Package: libssl1.1 libwebp6
Pin: release n=bullseye
Pin-Priority: 900

[save and exit]

echo 'APT::Default-Release "bookworm";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00default-release

echo "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bullseye.list

vi /etc/apt/preferences.d/bullseye-preferences
Package: *
Pin: release n=bullseye
Pin-Priority: 1

[save and exit]

apt update
sudo apt install openlitespeed

We can install lsphp82, but note, it will also install lsphp81. You can check apt-get packages with –simulate.

apt-get install lsphp82 lsphp82-common lsphp81-curl lsphp82-mysql lsphp82-opcache lsphp82-imap lsphp82-opcache
