VhostWriter

Automatically generate virtual host config files based on a directory of sites and a given ERB template.

Installation

$ gem install vhost_writer

Usage

Writing configs

vhost_writer write takes the following:

• A directory of directories that contain sites
  • Each site's directory should share the name of its domain (like example.com)
• A directory to write config files to
• The path to a template file written in ERB
  • Within the template, the site variable contains the name of the site.

Example

$ vhost_writer write /srv/www/ /etc/apache2/sites-available/ /home/bok/template.erb
