Automated Script To Create Virtual Host on Linux
It is always complicated to create virtual hosts every time you setup a new website especially for developers and webs designers who do it regularly. This script will automate this process of creating virtual hosts with a single command:
sudo virtualhost create mysite.dev
Download From Github
Credits: Thanks to https://github.com/RoverWire for this useful script
Installation
- Download the script
- Apply permission to execute:
$ chmod +x /path/to/virtualhost.sh
- Optional: if you want to use the script globally, then you need to copy the file to your /usr/local/bin directory, 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/RoverWire/virtualhost/master/virtualhost.sh $ chmod +x virtualhost $ wget -O virtualhost-nginx https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RoverWire/virtualhost/master/virtualhost-nginx.sh $ chmod +x virtualhost-nginx
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
to create a new virtual host:
$ 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
to delete a virtual host with custom directory name:
$ sudo virtualhost delete anothersite.dev my_dir
Localization
For Apache:
$ sudo cp /path/to/locale/<language>/virtualhost.mo /usr/share/locale/<language>/LC_MESSAGES/
For NGINX:
$ sudo cp /path/to/locale/<language>/virtualhost-nginx.mo /usr/share/locale/<language>/LC_MESSAGES/
