FreeBSD "add virtual host" shell script with config and templates

WARNING

This code is not fully ready for production, at the moment only application templates are of interest. Run the script at your own risk. Read the source code carefully and adapt it to your application.

This basic script:

• promt $hostname, $username and $password;
• add FreeBSD user with given $username and $password;
• create apache and nginx $username.conf in sites-available from templates with {{username}} and {{hostname}} and other placeholders;
• create sites-enabled symlinks;
• restart

Templates folder incuded apache and nginx templates for yii1, yii2 php frameworks, LMS Moodle, you free change it as you like.

Usage

First time

1. Modify script.properties according to your configuration (I use /u1/www for host files locations):
   • If you use Apache 2.4 instead of Apache 2.2 version, change apache22 to apache24 (Issue #6);
2. Edit _apache_yii1 and _nginx_yii1_mod_php conf files. Use {{username}} and {{hostname}} placeholders for username and hostname or change template names in souce code. (TODO: ISSUES #3, #4). Also you may use some values from properties file.
3. Modify your apache config file to use new directory structure (Issue #6):

for Apache 2.2:

mkdir /usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/sites-available;
mkdir /usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/sites-enabled;
echo 'Include etc/apache22/extra/sites-enabled/*.conf' >> /usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf;

for Apache 2.4:

mkdir /usr/local/etc/apache24/extra/sites-available;
mkdir /usr/local/etc/apache24/extra/sites-enabled;
echo 'Include etc/apache24/extra/sites-enabled/*.conf' >> /usr/local/etc/apache24/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf;

Every time

# for adding host
sh vhost.sh
# for deleteting host (removes user and disable config files)
sh rmhost.sh
# for deleteting with file removal
sh rmhost.sh -f

or (after adding symlink to /usr/sbin)

# for adding host
vhost
# for deleteting host (removes user and disable config files)
rmhost
# for deleteting with file removal
rmhost -f

TODO:

• add custom template names;
• add some validation rules;
• add php-fmp;
• add mysql;
