[Howto]: Create apache ServerAlias for project name (without TLD_SUFFIX)

[raintonr]

Have you already checked elsewhere?

• I have read the Devilbox documentation
• I have checked the Devilbox Troubleshooting Guide
• I have checked the Devilbox FAQ
• I have checked the Devilbox Howto
• I have checked the Devilbox Forum
• I have checked existing issues
• I have googled already with no luck
• I have not done any of the above

What are you struggling with?

vhost-gen creates Apache config with ServerName equal to <project name>.<TLD_SUFFIX>

I'd like to create a ServerAlias which is just equal to <project name>. That is, without the TLD_SUFFIX added.

What have you tried already?

From what I can tell, as <project name> is not available for use in the vhost-get tempates. Therefore in order to use a project name within, one must copy the template to that project directory and edit it and just hard code the project name within.

What is your goal?

I actually want to do this as have DevilBox running behind a separate nginx proxy. The proxy handles requests from the outside internet to example.com, which have to be forwarded to example.com.tld_suffix within the LAN. This works great, but does not work if nginx is configured with proxy_set_header Host $http_host; - to correctly handle those Devilbox needs an alias of example.com adding.
