install many wordpress blogs

Hello @eva2000 is it possible to install via command line for example 30 new Wordpres blogs (diffrenet domains). Do not choose it from the menu but write 30 command lines with domains?

Thank you

@eva2000 is there any tutorial regards migration from direct admin to centminmod?

 

I want to share with my script to create a multiple Wordpress domains/vhosts.


Make sure you have expect installed (yum install expect / apt-get install expect).

Copy the above code to wpnv_batch.sh.

If you want to change any of the default "yes/no" or option numbers (SSL, cache, etc.), edit the "#1) Default settings" section at the beginning.

If your domain list changes, add/remove entries in the set domains { … } block.

Code (Text):

touch wpnv_batch.sh
chmod +x wpnv_batch.sh
./wpnv_batch.sh

Give the script execute permissions and run it:

Code (Text):

#!/bin/expect -f
#
# wpnv_batch.sh — batch “Add WordPress Nginx vhost + Cache Plugin”
# Centmin Mod 131.00stable

set timeout -1
#exp_internal 1 ;# enable to see full debug

# ---------- 1) Default values ----------
set ssl_self_signed "y"
set ssl_letsencrypt "y"
set ssl_option "4"
set install_theme "n"
set install_classic "y"
set install_autoptimize "y"
set install_lazyload "y"
set custom_admin_display "y"
set admin_display_name "admin3211"
set install_subdir_blog "n"
set disable_auto_wp "n"
set disable_wp_login "n"
set admin_email "admin@domain.com"
set cache_option "1"
set generate_ftp_pass "y"
set exclude_mobile "y"

# ---------- 2) Domains ----------
set domains {
domain1.com
domain2.com
domain3.com
}

# ---------- 3) Loop ----------
foreach domain $domains {

set ftp_user [string map {"." ""} $domain]
append ftp_user "user"

spawn centmin

puts "\nAll domains processed."

Please write if you have any feedbacks or tweaks. This is my first script.
