BOA

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

BOA is an acronym of high performance Barracuda, Octopus and Aegir LEMP stack.

The BOA project has moved to Github!

How do I create modifications to an Octopus existing platforms and install profiles?

I originally posted this set of questions at http://drupal.org/node/1186524 and rewrote them once there because after reading my original post I realized that I had done a pretty poor job of creating the post. I wasn't in the best of moods when I created the first post, so I hope anyone that reads it forgives me for that.

Omega8cc suggested that I repost the questions here for discussion now that this group is open. I would have done it sooner, but I've been dealing with a pinched nerve and it's putting a "crimp" in my workflow and getting things done.

Also, since I'm reposting and re-reading, I've made some changes from what I posted at http://drupal.org/node/118652

Anyways, here is the main question at hand:
How do I create modifications to an Octopus existing platforms and install profiles?

I have BOA installed and all of the distributions are very nice, but I need to make my own modifications to them to achieve the desired results. This includes adding non-site specific modules and themes, having as many sites working off of the same code bases as possible to minimize the work required during upgrades, and I also want to be able to upgrade these distributions on my own schedule and not be dependent on the release of BOA updated scripts.

This has created several questions for me, which might in many ways be the same question being asked several different ways:

BOA group cross-posting rules

As you may noticed already, I cross-posted the first welcome message also in the Nginx group and the first article in the High Performance group, but I would like to add that it was a one-time only, cross-post 'by design' :) to notify members of Nginx and High Performance groups that we have now also separate group for BOA community/topics.

The power behind Speed Booster, Cache, Boost and AdvAgg

Our high performance Barracuda Octopus Aegir LEMP stack (BOA) has already a few levels and kinds of caching enabled or available, so it is important to understand how all those performance related modules and systems work to leverage all its power and avoid possible side effects or confusion.

Barracuda and Octopus community have new home!

The Barracuda and Octopus original threads/projects were born in the Nginx group many months ago. In the meantime the Aegir community moved to http://community.aegirproject.org, and the BOA projects moved from GitHub to Drupal.org.

I believe it is a good idea to create a dedicated BOA group here, at our Drupal home, to not hijack discussions in the Nginx group and c.a.o community, but instead extend the Aegir eco-system with specialized space, where we can concentrate on BOA specific stuff, tips and tricks and general community support.

GitHub Project - Nginx configuration for Drupal and Aegir

There are many ways to use Nginx. With Aegir and Boost compatible configuration, without all that Aegir and Boost related stuff, with subdirectory install, compatible with Purl and Spaces, and many different modules, where some specific rewrites are required.

It is always handy to have something tested and working as default setup, but there is also room for improvements, different setups, and it seems GitHub fork feature would be useful to create and maintain different configuration examples for wider audience.
