yum
upgrades for production use, this is the repository for you.
Active subscription is required.
The Great Firewall of China restricts you from using Google. But you can easily setup your own Google bypass if you have some skills and.. NGINX!
Pre-Requisites
- A VPS with CentOS 7. For example, tiniest Linode plan will run you only $5/mo.
- Your own domain name (subdomain or bare IP setup will do as well)
Setup Google mirror
yum install https://extras.getpagespeed.com/release-latest.rpm
yum install nginx-module-google
This installs stable NGINX and the key component of the solution – Google mirror module, as well its dependency – the substitutions module.
Then in your nginx.conf
, load the modules at the top of the file:
load_module modules/ngx_http_subs_filter_module.so;
load_module modules/ngx_http_google_filter_module.so;
Now create a configuration for a domain or IP address, and in the server {}
section put
server {
server_name your.example.com;
location / {
google on;
}
}
Reload or restart NGINX, and viola! You have your own Google search at your.example.com
. Wasn’t that easy? 🙂
For additional configuration directives of the Google mirror module (e.g. changing the language), refer to its documentation.
