This repository contains a Bash script to automate the setup of multiple Laravel projects on an Ubuntu server. The script installs necessary dependencies, clones projects from Git, configures Apache virtual hosts, and manages /etc/hosts entries.

• Installs multiple PHP versions (7.0, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2) and necessary extensions.
• Clones projects from specified Git repositories.
• Automatically adds entries to /etc/hosts to point project domains to 127.0.0.1.
• Creates Apache virtual host configurations for each project.
• Sets appropriate permissions and ownership for project directories.

Before running the script, ensure you have:

• A Ubuntu server or system.
• git installed.
• Basic permissions to execute sudo commands.

Clone this repository:

git clone <repository-url>
cd <repository-folder>

Make the script executable:

chmod +x setup.sh

Modify the script:

Edit the setup.sh file to include your project details in the projects associative array. The format is:

["project-name"]="git@github.com:username/repo.git"

Note: Since “Project-name” will be used as a key abbreviation to determine the project under /etc/hosts and in the sites-available configuration file, please ensure that you use the correct abbreviation.

Run the setup script with sudo privileges:

sudo ./setup.sh

Dependency Installation:

• Updates package lists.
• Adds the necessary PPA for PHP versions.
• Install required PHP versions and extensions.
• Installs Apache and enables necessary modules.

Project Cloning:

Clones each project specified in the projects array to the /var/www/ directory.

Hosts Configuration:

• Checks if a host entry already exists in /etc/hosts to avoid duplicates.
• Adds a new entry for each project if it doesn’t already exist.

Apache Configuration:

• Creates a virtual host configuration file for each project.
• Enables the site configuration in Apache.

Permissions:

Sets the appropriate file permissions and ownership for each project directory.

Final Restart:

Restart Apache to apply all changes.
