General discussions

Aegir has been of great help in managing my sites, there are a few things that would be nice to have though. One of these in automated backups, I did some searching thinking I could put some modules together to do this. I would ideally like to schedule them by hour, day, week etc.

Can anyone inform me on how do configure this?

It would also be great if backups could be sent to a different server, but for now an rsync or scp done by crontab will be fine.

Hi all,

This is a relatively simple question. With Aegir 0.3 and the latest OpenAtrium beta I am not receiving the admin email when I create a site. The video on developmentseed's blog shows the user copying and pasting the admin email link from the log of actions in Aegir's cron task view, but my system doesn't contain this step either.

Has anybody experienced this problem before? Is there a simple way of re-triggering the system to send the admin login email?

Thanks!
Dan

I'm not sure if this has been discussed, but one of the things that I would love is to have subversion support. My workflow involves creating new sites for dev work or testing, and I would be great if I could have each site be it's own setup instead of being installed as a multisite, and then have the code automatically added to a new subversion project. Then I can deploy the completed sites out to their respective servers from svn (or have aegir do this for me??? :) So has any discussion around these ideas happened yet?

Has anyone tried to get installed in Solaris 10 x86? I'm used to using Ubuntu, but my ops team requires Solaris. Before I start working hard on trying to figure this out I'm wondering if anyone has ran into any pitfalls.

What would be the simplest way to block search engines from parsing Aegir management level Nodes?
Ive noticed some of the platform pages and other backend tasks came up in a google search I did.

Should Aegir do this automatically? Guess if we just set the hosting and tasks nodes as unpublished by default that would be easy enough but not really the most logical approach.

...who doesn't know all that much about setting up a LAMP on a VPS? I really, really love the possibilities with this module and I have just signed up for my first VPS and have tried to follow the instructions with the help of this groups documentation, but no luck yet. I have been pulling my hair for three days and even asked my hosting company to install DirectAdmin, just grasping for straws. I guess that's the prise I have to pay for using windows all these years! ;)

hello. I want to make a network of sites or multisite on a vps hosting. (they will have different domain names and i am not sure if i should use if i should use different databases).

if i use aegir, i which modules do i use a multisite system? does that change under aegir?

After a good discussion with others, I cam up with a roadmap of the SSL support in Aegir which is of course up for discussion, but I think it's pretty neat and allows for targeting the problem one chunk at a time. All patches welcome from here on!

hello, i am still trying to get my head around how this works, i am not a developer/web master. does aegir work with a vps hosting or just dedicated servers?

I have finally got around tackling git-cvsimport. After a little bit of tweaking around, I've been able to import the entire history of the various Aegir projects on Drupal.org in our git repositories. This will enable much easier collaboration and decentalised development.
