nginx-apache-site

nginx-apache-site is a merged replacement for create-apache-site and create-nginx-site.

It creates:

• Website directory and starter static files in /var/www/<domain>/public_html
• Apache or Nginx virtual host config
• Optional Certbot SSL certificate

The package also ships compatibility wrappers:

• create-apache-site
• create-nginx-site

Install

npm install -g nginx-apache-site

Usage

Unified command:

nginx-apache-site --domain example.com --server nginx
nginx-apache-site --domain example.com --server apache
nginx-apache-site --domain example.com --server auto
nginx-apache-site --domain example.com

If --server is omitted, the CLI prompts on interactive terminals with default auto. In non-interactive runs, it defaults to auto directly.

Compatibility wrappers:

create-apache-site --domain example.com
create-nginx-site --domain example.com

SSL options

• --ssl always run Certbot
• --no-ssl skip Certbot
• no SSL flag: interactive prompt when running in a terminal

Extra Certbot controls:

• --certbot-email admin@example.com
• --certbot-staging
• --yes auto-confirm SSL prompt

Common examples

# Nginx with SSL and Certbot email
nginx-apache-site -d example.com -s nginx --ssl --certbot-email admin@example.com

# Apache without SSL
nginx-apache-site -d example.com -s apache --no-ssl

# Preview actions only
nginx-apache-site -d example.com -s nginx --ssl --dry-run

Requirements

• Ubuntu/Debian-style Apache or Nginx layout
• Root privileges (sudo) for non-dry-run mode
• Certbot plugin for your server type if using SSL

Development tests

npm test
npm run test:linux

npm test runs local shell tests with mocked system commands, so it does not modify your host web server setup.

npm run test:linux adds Linux-specific smoke checks. CI runs both test suites on ubuntu-latest for every push and pull request.
