Quickly create Virtual Host for Apache2 on Ubuntu-like distros

Add vHost - bash script for Apache2.md

Instructions

Download the add-vhost.sh file, make it executable and move it to /usr/bin/add-vhost:
sudo chmod +x add-vhost.sh && sudo mv add-vhost.sh /usr/bin/add-vhost

Run it as root from anywhere:
sudo add-vhost

This will create a configuration file for the Apache, both for non-SSL and SSL versions, and also allow you to set different PHP versions if you have installed them as PHP-fpm services.

If you don't have PHP-fpm versions installed, remove these parts:

while ! [[ "${php_version}" =~ ^(5.6|7.2|7.3)$ ]]
do
    read -p "PHP version (5.6, 7.2, 7.3): " php_version
done

... and ...

<FilesMatch \.php$>
    # Apache 2.4.10+ can proxy to unix socket
    SetHandler \"proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php${php_version}-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/\"
</FilesMatch>

add-vhost.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# exit if not run with sudo
if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]
    then echo "Please run as root"
    exit
fi

# get ServerNume
while [[ -z "${server_name}" ]] || [[ -f /etc/apache2/sites-available/${server_name}.conf ]]
do
    if [ -f /etc/apache2/sites-available/${server_name}.conf ]
    then
        echo "Virtual host with this ServerName already exists!"
    fi
    read -p "ServerName: " server_name
done

# Check path
while [[ -z "${path}" ]] || [[ ! -d "${path}" ]]
do
    if [[ ! -z "${path}" ]] && [[ ! -d "${path}" ]]
    then
        echo "Directory at ${path} does not exist."
    fi
    read -p "DocumentRoot: " path
done


while ! [[ "${php_version}" =~ ^(5.6|7.2|7.3)$ ]]
do
    read -p "PHP version (5.6, 7.2, 7.3): " php_version
done
