LEMPDash

Version 0.0.3

LEMPDash is a command line tool to help streamline a LEMP stack web hosting environment. Includes nginx server block and mysql database creation, backup, destruction, etc.

This tool is comprised of various shell scripts and ideas collected from around the web, arbitration given as neccessary.

System Requirements

LEMPDash is written and tested on Ubuntu 14.04 so far, all other buyers, beware! Unless you have alot of free time.

Recommended/Required Packages:

• nginx
• mysql-server
• php5-fpm
• php5-mysql

Assumptions (for now)

• Nginx is located here: /etc/nginx
• You are cool with your server root(s) being here: /var/www/YOURSITE(S)/htdocs

Installation

Get it:

git clone https://github.com/pbredenberg/lempdash.git

Install it:

cd lempdash

sudo ./install

Upgrading

If there is a new version with shiny new features you'd like to use, you can do that without any funny business like checking for dependencies.

Assuming you still have, or have re-cloned (see Installation section) the LEMPDash repository, and have navigated into it on the command line:

sudo ./upgrade

Uninstalling

I knew you'd hate this. Enjoy the bitter end...

sudo ./uninstall

Usage

Lempdash is invoked thusly:

ldash

LEMPDash must be run as root (sudo) when executing processes on the system level, for instance, when creating or removing nginx server blocks, or when backing up to folder owned by the root user.

On some servers, you may not need to do this depending on your particular permissions, or if you are logged in directly as root.

To be totally clear for those less experienced, you usually have to run LEMPDash like this:

sudo ldash

As of version 0.0.3, you can: create, remove, or back up the following: nginx server blocks, site files, and MySQL databases with ease.

cr (Create)

Create a site:

ldash cr site mysite.com

Create a database:

ldash cr db databasename databaseuser databasepassword

rm (Remove)

Remove a site:

ldash rm site mysite.com

Remove a database:

ldash rm db databasename

Remove a database user:

ldash rm dbuser username

Note: Remove wants to do its' thing safely, so it will back up your site files and databases automatically when they are destroyed using zip, and place the backup in var/www/archive/YOURSITENAME.

bu (Backup)

Back up a site:

ldash bu site mysite.com

Back up a database:

ldash bu db databasename

ls (List)

List all sites:

ldash ls site

List all databases:

ldash ls db

List all backups:

ldash ls bu
