JSON to Apache2 vhost

The idea came as I were about to reconfigure Apache2 for LetsEncypt, and needed a simpler way to generate those hundred of lines. Also, inconsistency in the structure irritated me. POW, project born.

Uses file structure of SSL sertificates generated by certbot (letsencrypt) on Debian 8.

PHP choosen because... development time is of essense, as right now my domains are running with invalid SSL certificates :-D

Plans: Not much specific. Perhaps Python and Jinja2?

Usage

• Download this little beauty of a script
• Do a chmod 777 generated-vhost-configs. This is not necessary if your user have write previlegies to the directory
• Optional: copy data.json.sample to data.json and edit to your liking
• Optional: edit templates/vhost.twig
• Run it with php -f parser.php [json-file] and enjoy.

Example

The following json.data file...

{
    "defaults": {
        "root": "\/var\/www\/parked_domain",
        "enforce_https": true,
        "ssl_parent_domain": false,
        "aliases": false,
        "allow_override_on_root": false,
        "custom_config": false
    },
    "example.tld": {
        "root": "\/var\/www\/example.tld\/www_root\/",
        "ssl_parent_domain": "example.tld"
    },
    "some.subdomain.example.tld": {
        "root": "\/var\/www\/some.subdomain.example.tld\/www_root\/",
        "enforce_https": false,
        "allow_override_on_root": true,
        "ssl_parent_domain": "example.tld",
        "custom_config": "\n<FilesMatch \"\\.phps$\">\n\tSetHandler application\/x-httpd-php-source\n\tRequire all granted\n<\/FilesMatch>"
    },
    "another.tld": {
        "root": "\/var\/www\/another.tld\/www_root\/"
    },
    "yet-another-example.tld": {
        "root": "\/var\/www\/yet-another-example.tld\/www_root\/",
        "ssl_parent_domain": "yet-another-example.tld",
        "aliases": [
            "www.yet-another-example.tld",
            "www-public.yet-another-example.tld"
        ]
    }
}

... will produce the following files

 % for x in generated-vhost-configs/*.conf; do echo "\n# $x:"; cat $x; done;
