Your site and Aegir

@TODO:

Explain some of the unique features of Aegir in how it manages a site, from a backend perspective:

  • /files/ alias, to avoid images breaking on migrate/clone
  • the cloaked credentials in settings.php for security
  • permissions on files and directories
  • .htaccess and why it is ignored / how to read-in changes of a .htaccess into the platform vhost
  • the drushrc.php
