About
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
