This basic scripts helps automating the creation of domains or subdomains.

Usage: Create a vhost

chmod +x setvhost.sh

Set the domain or subdomain

setvhost.sh —d subdomain3.example.com —u /var/www/mydir/public

or

setvhost.sh --domain subdomain3.example.com --directory /var/www/mydir/public

SSL for subdomains case

I usually use it with subdomains to which I add a wildcard certificate, which you can generate using acme.sh or certbot:

certbot certonly --manual --preferred-challenges=dns --email mail@example.com --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --agree-tos -d example.com -d *.example.com

You will have to add the returned DNS record for verification.

The returned cert has to be added to the SSL part of the skeleton file ‘vhost.skeleton.conf’:

SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem

Addon domains case

In this cas you will have to add to the end of the script an SSL request. For example, when used with certbot: certbot certonly –preferred-challenges http -d example.com

This is a basic script that allows you to add aliases to an Apache config in which HTTP & HTTPs virtualhosts have already been set. I wrote the script to automate SAAS  processing. You can, however, customize it the way you wish.

Usage

Specify in setalias.sh the main vh that will be used as reference:

vh=”/etc/apache2/sites-available/saas.example.com.conf” main=”saas.example.com”

Then run your command:

setalias.sh add saas2.example.com

or

setalias.sh remove saas2.example.com
