Bash script designed to automate the installation, configuration, and maintenance of a web application using NGINX, Python's Flask framework, and various other tools using a script template given by the professor.

The script was developed by a team of four students as part of a university project during our third year of engineering studies.

Introduction

This script automates the setup and maintenance of a web application environment. It handles the installation and configuration of NGINX, Flask, and Gunicorn, sets up a virtual environment, manages file permissions, and monitors server logs and SSH connection attempts.

Script Functions

1. Install NGINX: Installs NGINX if not already installed.
2. Start NGINX: Starts NGINX if not already running.
3. Test NGINX Ports: Checks the ports used by NGINX.
4. View Index: Opens the default NGINX index page.
5. Customize Index: Replaces the default index.html with a custom one.
6. Create New Location: Sets up a new directory for the web application.
7. Setup Virtual Environment: Sets up a Python virtual environment.
8. Install Virtual Environment Libraries: Installs necessary Python libraries.

16. Configure Reverse Proxy: Configures NGINX as a reverse proxy.
17. Reload NGINX Configuration: Reloads NGINX configuration.
18. Restart NGINX: Restarts the NGINX service.
19. Test Virtual Hosts: Tests the NGINX virtual hosts.
20. View NGINX Logs: Views the NGINX logs.
21. Monitor SSH Connection Attempts: Monitors SSH connection attempts.
22. Exit Menu: Exits the script menu.
