I have long used a script called nginx_ensite to quickly test and enable Nginx site configurations. (It also comes with a sister script, nginx_dissite, which disables a site.)

For a long, long time, I have wanted to add a few features, and I finally have:

• Installable via my Debian apt repository
• Is aware of systemctl reload
• Accepts a flag to automatically reload Nginx's configuration after the configuration change is made

Usage now looks like this:

cdzombak@azul:$ sudo nginx_dissite -r 10foot6.in
Site 10foot6.in has been disabled.
Reloading nginx...
Nginx reloaded successfully.

cdzombak@azul:$ sudo nginx_ensite -r 10foot6.in
Pre-flight check...
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
New config check...
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
Site 10foot6.in has been enabled.
Reloading nginx...
Nginx reloaded successfully.

My fork of this tool maintains existing features, like a proper manual page and Bash completions.

If you work with Nginx, try it out today! The project's README provides installation instructions.
