Preparing remote Ubuntu Aegir Servers
I came across two problems setting up the passwordless ssh between the Aegir servers as I followed (rather too blindly, perhaps) the "Remote Servers" section of the Aegir INSTALL.txt.
Ubuntu 10.4 LTS was on the local (testing) machine; 8.04.4 LTS on the remote (production) server.
Here are solutions / workarounds:
How to configure site aliases and domain redirection on Aegir
Introduction
Site aliases are helpful if you move content to a new domain, change domain names or simply want to make sure that http://example.com and http://www.example.com take users to the same place. You can implement site aliases with or without redirection. The differences between these two methods and how Aegir handles them is described below.

The latest documentation here (at the Aegir project wiki) should probably be referenced instead.
Introduction
SSL support was significantly improved in Aegir 0.4 alpha9 and subsequent releases have further refined the SSL functionality. Here are the current steps to configure SSL support in Aegir and apply it to your web sites.

Passing data from the Aegir signup form to your install profile
This post describes how to have data entered in the Aegir site be useable in your install profile. The way this works now still feels quite hacky and probably won't stay like this forever. If anyone has better suggestions please post in the comments :).
For anyone with a slightly customized aegir setup, passing data from aegir to your install profile is a must. In Wedful (my own business running on top of Drupal w/ Aegir) our aegir site signup form looks like this:

Read moreHow to manually delete a platform?
Hi,
I have site1.de (running on an old server without Aegir) and want to import it into new.site1.de (DNS pointing to the new server with Aegir).
So I copied database and code, left the sites directory as it was and created the new platform. The site got activated - no problem.
Then I wanted to migrate or clone site1.de to new.site1.de - both failed - I assume because site1.de isn't really running on Aegir and Aegir has no access to this site.
So, I manually deleted the sites and deleted the platform and restarted with extracting the Code.
Now I did:
cd sites

Hi,
I was completing the canonical manual install of aegir when this message came up. I guess it is an issue of compatibility among components. Can anybody let me know the latest COMPATIBLE versions for each specific component? Thanks so much,
