Ask HN: Common Config Files Repository?
Today at lunch we were talking about how default config files for mysql, php-fpm, nginx, etc. are often really poorly configured for today's machines.
We were thinking about setting up a git repo with common configuration settings for each package. If needed you could break it down to like "high performance of static content" to "wordpress", etc.
Before we start that up, figured we'd see if anyone knew of something that already exists like this. We thought the idea of having it in one centralized spot where people can make additions as necessary would be really helpful.
- wanghq 12y agoNot aware of any. I like the idea. Will be useful to me.

- jtfairbank 12y agoI have a template setup for grunt and file structure, which I copy to each project and then customize. Its really not that great (I'd be embarrassed if other people use it, there are some clear bugs in the git precommit). But it does cut my web project setup time down to 1 hour. https://github.com/jtfairbank/Milkshake https://github.com/jtfairbank/Milkshake
- MalcolmDiggs 12y agoI love this idea. My config files are often Frankenstein mashups of random advice I've culled from various sources. I'd love to have something more canonical/peer-reviewed to fall back on.
- stevekemp 12y agoPeer review seems a little optimistic, as you say many configuration descriptions just say "Set this sysctl" with no logic or reason.
- stevekemp 12y agoI did start down this road here: http://tweaked.io/ http://tweaked.io/ I suspect more work could be done to make it useful, but you'll soon learn that people who know about this stuff do it already, and other people mostly don't care.
