Quick Start Installation (Ubuntu 11.04+)
Here are simplified instructions for installing Aegir on a server, quickly and easily.
The fastest way to install Aegir is on the latest Ubuntu Server LTS Release (Long Term Support). This release always begins with the year it was released and ends with ".04". Currently 11.04
This document was originally based on http://community.aegirproject.org/installing/debian but has been trimmed down to list only the steps you need to get Aegir up and running.
Installation Instructions
Fire up a new server
- Use Ubuntu 11.04 Server Edition for the smoothest and most reliable installation experience.
- Make sure it has at least 1024MB, preferably 2048MB of memory. Depending on your host you will have to configure a hostname. It can be convenient to call this 'aegir'.
- If you want the smoothest installation, create a brand new server. There will be the least chance of conflicts if you start with a brand new Ubuntu 11.04 server. If you use Ubuntu Desktop, you should be able follow these instructions without any problems.
Add the project repositories and archive key
Use this command to add the Aegir package "Software Source" repository to your system:
Use this command to add the archive key to your keyring:echo "deb http://debian.aegirproject.org stable main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/aegir-stable.list
Then, finally, update your apt repositories:wget -q http://debian.aegirproject.org/key.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
apt-get updateapt-get update
- ##Install Aegir##
Once you have added the repositories, you can now fire off the standard debian installation command:
apt-get install aegir
