I’ve written the first version of a command line script to automate the creation of a webgui script. It’s at eon:/opt/sbin/add-webgui-site.sh. It handles setting up the directory structure, the configuration file, and the initial database structure. It also prints out the changes to make to the apache config files (I don’t want to do these automatically, since they require a web server reboot, which takes down most of our dynamic sites for a few seconds). This also just sets up a vanilla webgui installation, with the goofy webgui default style and getting started pages. I’ll update it soon to setup a couple of initial admin users, delete the getting started pages (perhaps replace them with a more helpful tutorial?), and tweak a couple of the other settings. It saves 15 minutes of fiddling as is, though.
