create-domain.pl

Creates a new virtualmin domain on one system

This command creates a Virtualmin top-level domain on a specified managed system. You must specify the --host parameter, followed by the name of a host to create on (which of course must have Virtualmin installed). Alternately, you can use the --host-selector flag followed by either mem, cpu, space or domains to have Cloudmin selector a host based on free resources.

Other required parameters are --domain and --pass, followed by the domain name and password respectively. You also need to choose features, either with the --default-features option, or multiple uses of --feature followed by a feature code like web or dir.

The command may take a few seconds to run, and will output the messages from the Virtualmin create-domain.pl command run on the remote system. Even though it is effectively invoked remotely, you cannot use all of the same command-line flags that it supports.

Example usage

  cloudmin create-domain --host xencentos.home --domain wibble.com --desc "Example domain" --pass foo --feature dir --feature unix --feature web --feature webmin
