Create Root CA (Done once)

Looking to create a Software RAID 1 setup for your 2-disk server on Ubuntu Server 20.04?

Let's start with the basics: the official guide by Ubuntu (https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/storage) is outdated/wrong. And as of March 2021 it's possible that there's a bug as well with how the bios_grub partitions are created when using multiple disks.

Now on to the solution:

Select "Custom storage layout" when you reach the storage configuration step of the installer.
If the disks have existing partitions, click on each disk under AVAILABLE DEVICES and then select REFORMAT. This will (temporarily) wipe out the partitions.

##Create an alias to MAMP's PHP installation

To do this, we can simply create an alias for our bash profile. We'll be doing this is nano, though you can do it in vim or a number of other editors as well.

Within the terminal, run:

nano ~/.bash_profile

This will open nano with the contents, at the top in a blank line add the following line:

	#!/bin/bash

	# Short URL: https://git.io/fjY3J
	#
	# ~ For Ubuntu 18.04 or newer ~
	#
	# How to use:
	# $ cd ~/Downloads
	# $ wget -O bootstrap.sh https://git.io/fjY3J
	# $ chmod +x bootstrap.sh
