Usage: [options] [command]

Node Hosting Manager - interactive hosting configurator

Options:

-V, --version              output the version number
-h, --help                 output usage information

Commands:

cv|create-vhost            Create vhost Nginx & Php-fpm config files
cl|client-list             List of clients directories
cwl|client-web-list        List of client websites
gfsp|get-free-socket-port  Get first free socket port
cav|create-all-vhost       Create all vhosts
le|letsencrypt             Run Certbot for selected domain

Installation

$ npm i -g vhostman

Alternavive the bad (but possible) way to install it if npm installation failed is bellow:

$ git clone https://github.com/thujer/node-vhostman
$ cd node-vhostman/
$ npm i -g .

Commands

Create VHOST (cv)

$ hostman cv
or
$ hostman create-vhost            

Shows client selection in interactive CLI menu.

Continue by pressing enter

? Select client: (Use arrow keys)
❯ < Create new client > 
  client-01-xxx 
  client-03-yyy 
  client-05-zzz 

On next step You can see Nginx template selection to make configuration from

? Select template: 
❯ nginx-comments 
  nginx-letsencrypt 
  nginx-proxy 
  nginx-ssl-letsencrypt 
  nginx-without-ssl 

In next step its needed to know domain which configuration is for

? Enter domain (domain.xy): (spsy.eu)

By pressing enter are configuration files for selected domain created in directories bellow:

• /etc/nginx/sites-available: Configuraction for Nginx
• /etc/nginx/sites-enabled: Symlink for web activation in Nginx
• /etc/php/{PHP version dir}/fpm/pool.d: Listen configuration for PHP-FPM

App need root privilegs.

If config files exists, then print error and show configuration lines to screen and You can edit files manually

Last socket port is automattically incremented from last one and is used same value for Nginx and associated PHP listener

There is created bash script named "generate-letsencrypt.sh" to obtain ssl certificate in "bash" subdirectory of website.

If website doesn't have ssl certificate, it's needed to select template nginx-without-ssl before for the first time. Then You can run LetsEncrypt certification challenge.

If everything happend ok, You can see right symlink to live certificate files named "@ssl".

Then is possible to delete first time website config and use nginx-letsencrypt configuration template.

Don't forget to delete both configuration files before - Nginx/sites-available and PHP/pool.d

After Nginx and Php restart You can see green HTTPS status in website url line in browser.

Client list

$ hostman cl
or
$ hostman client-list

Shows list of client directories

Client directories are the first level directories in /var/www

Client web list

$ hostman cwl
or
$ hostman client-web-list

Shows CLI interactive menu to select client and shows client's domains (subdirectiries)

Get free socket port

$ hostman gfsp
or
$ hostman get-free-socket-port

Traverse all nginx configuration files in directory sites-available, read socket port number and get the greather one + 1

Create all vhosts

$ hostman cav
or
$ hostman create-all-vhost

Traverse all client directories and all domains (subdirectories) and create Nginx and Php configuration automatically

It's needed to remove all conflict configuration files before this action, otherwise it will not be created, but only printed to screen

Acknowledgments

• First idea was write just simple appliacation to automated creating of Nginx and PHP-fpm configuration
• This project was inspirated by ISPConfig project website structure
• Project was realized because some problems happens sometimes with ISPConfig delayed write to configuration files by crontab and I must debug this problems for many times.
