Ubuntu Administration Scripts

This repository contains a collection of Bash scripts for automating the administration of Ubuntu web servers. Note that all choices made are my own personal preferences and they might not be the best or recommended way of setting up a web server.

All scripts are supposed to be run as root. This is checked at the beginning of every script.

Install general components

On a fresh installation of an Ubuntu server, the following command can be used to install general components:

./install

It will do the following:

• Update and upgrade all packages
• Configure clock syncing by scheduling ntpdate to run
• Install Nginx
• Install MariaDB for MySql compatability
• Install Certbot for creating certificates using Let's Encrypt

Add a new php site

./add-php company companydomainname.com

It will do the following:

• Create directory for web site under /var/www
• Copy template files to web site
• Create Nginx configuration for site
• Set permissions on web site directory and files
• Create certificate for https access
• Add Nginx configuration for certificate

Add a new WordPress site

./add-wordpress site wp.site.com

It will do the following:

• Add php site if it does not exist (including certificate for https)
• Add WordPress files if they don't exist
• Create MySql databas with user and passwords
• Configure WordPress for the created database

Disable a site (keep all settings and files)

./disable-site company

Enable a site (that has previously been disabled)

./enable-site company

Delete a site permanently

Note that this command will delete all settings and files for the site. The script asks for confirmation by typing 'yes' before actually deleting the site.

./delete-site company
