nginx-config-ssl-creator

This can be one of the most useful scripts out there for those who manage tons of nginx sites/proxies. Deploy Sites with nginx in less than 1 minute!

What it does?

1. Takes a template as input. A template has variables such as @domain, @web_host, @allow_table. The script then asks for the value of each of these variables and automatically compiles a config and deploys it.
2. Has an function to automatically obtain the SSL certificate right after compiling the config.
3. You can add any variables you want to a template. The script finds variables that start with @, for example @location, @picture, and then asks the user for their value at runtime

Compatability

• Works with any linux distro that supports python3, certbot and nginx.
• Works with openBSD, use openbsd_acme in the config to use acme_client

Special Variables

• #% @ssl - used for ssl certificate automation
• @allow_table - used to alllow specific subnets. For instance in the wordpress template example i deny access to the admin page to everyone except the subnets in the allow table ( for example 192.168.1.1/24 )
• @acme_challenge - used for ssl certificate automation on OpenBSD's acme client

All other other variables will be treated as simple variables which have just a simple value. (e.g @domain = example.com )

Specific notes for SSL

1. The ssl template should HAVE #% @ssl ( it first deploys the unsecure version , then generates the certificates, then replaces #% @ssl with the ssl certificate locations and then restarts nginx)
2. If you are on OpenBSD you should also have @acme_challenge to make acme_client work.
