nginxvhostscript

Bash script to allow/create or delete nginx virtual hosts on Ubuntu in a single command.

Installation

1. Download the script

2. Apply permission to execute:

    $ chmod +x /path/to/virtualhost.sh
   

3. Optional: if you want to use the script globally across users, then you need to copy the file to your /usr/local/bin directory, it is better if you copy it without the .sh extension:

    $ sudo cp /path/to/virtualhost.sh /usr/local/bin/virtualhost
   

For Global Shortcut

    $ cd /usr/local/bin
    $ wget -O virtualhost https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Zethrus/nginxvhostscript/master/virtualhost.sh
    $ chmod +x virtualhost

Usage

Basic command line syntax:

$ sudo sh /path/to/virtualhost.sh [create | delete] [domain] [optional host_dir]

With script installed on /usr/local/bin

$ sudo virtualhost [create | delete] [domain] [optional host_dir]

Examples

$ sudo virtualhost create mysite.dev

To create a new virtual host with custom directory name:

$ sudo virtualhost create anothersite.dev my_dir

To delete a virtual host

$ sudo virtualhost delete mysite.dev
