Awesome

Fast paced. Thought i was watching a Steven Seagal movie at first, but then i noticed nobody was getting hurt, so knew that couldn’t be the case.

Very good and informative screencast. Ægir is such an awesome project and this screencast illustrates that quite nicely. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your next screencast on Ægir installation… although i may have to run it in slo-mo! ;-)

One question: You said that for now you have to install your own ssh keys manually (on a remote server). I can’t imagine any secure way to do that other than manually; what do you have in mind?

PS: I see you’re running the Safari beta on your Mac! :-)

DNS Alias?

Hi Adrian,

In this screencast (or maybe it was your DrupalCon video) you mention using a "dns alias" to direct all hosts ending in .dev to a certain IP address. I've researched how to do this to no avail. Any quick pointers? Maybe you are running your own dns server locally?

Thanks!

Wildcard DNS records

Hi Brian

They're called Wildcard DNS records, have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_DNS_record

Basically in your zone file you have a record:

  • IN A 192.168.1.1

And then any unspecified host name points to that IP address.

If you use a web-based DNS setup, it may or may not be available, on some of them you need to switch on "advanced" features to be able to add a wildcard.
