Nginx domain setup script
06 Sep 2013
After writing a number of scripts to auto create domains for Apache and Nginx on linux servers I’ve finally gotten round to cleaning it up and releasing by current script to handle auto creating domains for Nginx (my current preferred web server)
This creates the Nginx virtual host config file, sets up a sane folder structure for the domain, enables the domain in Nginx and reloads Nginx.
Hope this help other Nginx users to manage domains easier - let me know if you have any additions to the script
Note: script assumes using PHP via fastcgi and unix sockets.
Nginx auto domain setup script nginx_domain.sh
#!/bin/bash
# Info
# ---
# script can run with the domain as a command line input
# `sudo ./nginx_domain.sh my_domain.com` or without and
# the script will prompt the user for input
#config
web_root='/usr/share/nginx/'
config_dir='/etc/nginx/'
if [ -z "$1" ]
then
#user input
echo -e "Enter domain name:"
read DOMAIN
echo "Creating Nginx domain settings for: $DOMAIN"
if [ -z "$DOMAIN" ]
then
echo "Domain required"
exit 1
fi
fi
if [ -z "$DOMAIN" ]
then
DOMAIN=$1
fi
