I just threw together a quick Python script which generates a virtual host file, enables it, creates the web directory and restarts the webserver.
It’s basic – but I found it useful. Maybe someone else will too.
#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys, getopt
def main(argv):
try:
opts, args = getopt.getopt(argv, "hd:a:", ["help", "domain="])
except getopt.GetoptError:
usage()
sys.exit(2)
if len(opts) < 1:
usage()
sys.exit(2)
for o, a in opts:
if o in ("-h", "--help"):
usage()
sys.exit()
if o in ("-d", "--domain"):
domain = a
else:
assert False, "unhandled option"
directory = domain.split('.')[0]
if not os.path.isdir("/var/www/%s" % directory):
os.mkdir("/var/www/%s" % directory)
if not os.path.isdir("/var/www/%s/htdocs" % directory):
os.mkdir("/var/www/%s/htdocs" % directory)
