Bash script I created to facilitate setting up websites on my dev server.

Assumes:

• Server has a full LAMP stack
• Server has virtualhost cli tool installed to the PATH.
• Server has the create-databse.sh script installed to the PATH (to be uploaded here)
• Server has a disk mounted at /data where sites/files will live
• Client and server both use folder structure, example.com/(web|sql). eg:
• • /data/Sites/example.com/web (web root)
• • /data/Sites/example.com/sql (database backups)
• On the client, this script is executed in the /data/Sites/example.com directory.
• • Script assumes current working directory is the sub/domain of the site.
• • Script assumes web/ and sql/ subdirectories in the current working directory

Other Notes:

• Server is a single AWS EC2 instance
• My dev server lives at 34.236.35.23
• Sites are set up as subdomains of dev.unhingedweb.com (e.g. example.dev.unhingedweb.com)
• All remote commands are executed via SSH.
• All files live on the /data mount for persistant, cheap AWS storage

Script actions

1. Creates a virtual host on server.
2. Removes default web folder.

• • virtualhost tool creates website on /var/www
• • I need sites be on /data of persistence and budget

3. Create web and sql folders on /data
4. Soft link web root to original var/www location
5. Upload (rsync) files to server
6. If database backup exists on client's machine, find the newest one and upload it.
7. Create database on server by executing a create-database.sh script on the server.
