Nginx-proxy Automation

Collection of scripts to automate the creation and management of proxies for an Nginx proxy server.

Contents

This repository includes three primary scripts:

• mkproxy: Creates an Nginx proxy for subdomain.mydomain.com on a specified port.
• rmproxy: Removes proxy files created by mkproxy and creates an inactive backup in /etc/nginx/sites-available/backup/.
• lsproxy: Lists active proxies created by mkproxy.

Requirements

• The scripts require administrative privileges to run.
• Ensure DOMAIN_NAME and NGINX_PATH variables are updated according to your setup.
• Place the scripts in your binary directory (e.g. /usr/local/bin/) and make them executable:

  sudo chmod +x <script>
