Aegir for Singe Sites

Aegir for Singe Sites

Hi,

Most of what I have read about Aegir seems to deal with maintaining many sites in a multisite installation. Is it also possible to manage multiple sites which are all single site installations? Is Aegir even an ideal solution for that scenario?

Thanks, Ryan

#1

Aegir is not currently capable of installing in Drupal's 'default' site, if that's what you mean. But there's no requirement that you run more than one site per platform.

#2

why not just install a site called "default" using that platform and create an alias for DNS?

I use Hosting Platform GIT to git pull into the platform

its pretty close to Acquia/Pantheon workflow using mainline Aegir 2.x

a bit of a hack, I admit, but it works (unless I am missing something?)

the file system then ends-up with a sites/default/files structure, which is standard?

Public file system path sites/default/files

Private file system path sites/default/private/files

Temporary directory sites/default/private/temp

root@aegir:/var/aegir/platforms/drupal-7.x-drupalprojects-2/sites# ls -alh default
