Customize all virtual hosts globally

Customize all virtual hosts globally

Prerequisite

Ensure you have read and understood how vhost-gen templates work and where to find them

vhost-gen-virtual-host-templates

Apply templates globally to all vhosts

When applying those templates, you do it globally for all projects. The only exception is if you have already a specific vhost template for a project in place.

vhost-gen-customize-specific-virtual-host

In order for template files to be picked up by the web server they must be copied to their correct filename.

Web serverExample templateTemplate name
Apache 2.2apache22.yml-example-vhostapache22.yml
Apache 2.4apache24.yml-example-vhostapache24.yml
Nginx stablenginx.yml-example-vhostnginx.yml
Nginx mainlinenginx.yml-example-vhostnginx.yml

[!IMPORTANT] Do not use *.yml-example-rproxy templates for global configuration. These are only intended to be used on a per project base.

[!NOTE] If you simply copy the files to their corresponding template file name, nothing will change as those templates reflect the same values the web servers are using.
