nginx-cli

This tool makes it easier to manage nginx configurations and create new ones. It automates the linking of configurations between the sites-available and sites-enabled directories. It allows you to create templates to create new configurations and use them easily with cli.

Install

npm install -g nginx-cli

Initialize

➜  nnx init

? What's the path of NGINX? /etc/nginx

Usage

Commands

create

There are two ways to create a new configuration. Using the default template or by selecting a template.

With Default Template

➜  nnx create
? What's the value of DOMAIN? example.com
? What's the value of ROOT? /home/app/example
? Enable conf file? Yes

Default Template Detail: /etc/.nginx-cli/templates/default.conf

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name {{DOMAIN}};

    access_log /var/log/nginx/{{DOMAIN}}_access.log;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/{{DOMAIN}}_error.log;

    root {{ROOT}};
    index index.html index.htm index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }
}

With Custom Template

When creating your own template so that it can be parsed, specify the parts you want to edit using the following format.

{{KEY}}

Copy this template file you created to the /etc/.nginx-cli/templates directory.

You can now call it using the name of this template.
