Installing 3rd party Aegir services (specifically this Solr one I found on github)
Hi, I'm new here. I found an Aegir Solr Service at https://github.com/halcyonCorsair/aegir_solr_service (attaching zip file here) In the source there's a hosting/ folder and a provision/ folder. It seems like this code might add a Solr 'service' to an Aegir 'server' node. Does Aegir support adding arbitrary services to a server profile? Does it perform the installation of those services, or merely provide the interface to configure platforms with those services? Can anyone suggest how I might go about installing this code to Aegir? Will it be necessary to reinstall Aegir?
If there's some existing documentation related to this please let me know, thanks.

btw- I have tried contacting the owner of the git repo and got no response.

a little progress... the repo contains: /provision/solr /hosting/solr On a guess, I dropped the first solr/ into my /var/aegir/.drush/provision and the second solr/ into /var/argir/hostmaster-6.x-1.9/modules/ I then found the new Solr service module in my hostmaster module list, and enabled it. Amazingly i now get a new Solr service option on my Server nodes. I turned one on, and the task appears to be hanging in the queue, possibly because there's no associated Solr installed on the server. Will post again if I get further along.

There's a forked version of the Solr service at https://github.com/EugenMayer/aegir_solr_service Have not tested this yet

Any luck? we are about to start trying to do this...

You should dive in, and try to adapt the github code to your system. Solr installation is pretty hairy, so an out of the box solution is a long way off. I didn't get this to production, but the service appeared to get installed.
