# Download and run BOA Meta Installer. wget -q -U iCab http://files.aegir.cc/BOA.sh.txt bash BOA.sh.txt # To upgrade system and Aegir Master Instance to Stable barracuda up-stable To upgrade system and Aegir Master Instance to HEAD barracuda up-head #To upgrade selected Aegir Satellite Instance to Stable octopus up-stable o1 # To upgrade *all* Aegir Satellite Instances to Stable octopus up-stable all # To upgrade selected Aegir Satellite Instance to HEAD octopus up-head o1 # To upgrade *all* Aegir Satellite Instances to HEAD octopus up-head all
Barracuda
Aegir master install in /var/aegir
Not as tuned and featured as the Octopus Aegir install. Best practice is to use Octopus for production.

Octopus
- Octopus installs alongside Barracuda, providing an Aegir satellite instance bundled with various distro install profiles and performance modules.

- Barracuda vs Octopus and site development best practice, I'm still confused.
- Extra modules available in all platforms
- Supported, Enabled, Disabled - a complete list
Setup
- Barracuda: INSTALL.txt
- Octopus: INSTALL.txt
- Ubuntu Server
- older script; boxbootstrap.sh
Use _FORCE_GIT_MIRROR=github because it is 10x faster than others. Automatic these days.
Make sure that all sites have its associated Client, otherwise the site will be listed as available for all Clients/Users you have added.
- BOND.sh - tuning script
Maintenance
xdrago cron runs tool helper scripts

Upgrade
Do not use apt to upgrade. Upgrading got easier with BOA 2. See UPGRADE.txt for full details.
# Download and run BOA Meta Installer. wget -q -U iCab http://files.aegir.cc/BOA.sh.txt bash BOA.sh.txt
Will honour settings in; /root/.barracuda.cnf /root/.o1.octopus.cnf /root/.o2.octopus.cnf
this is now old?!:
# To upgrade system and Aegir Master Instance to Stable barracuda up-stable # To upgrade system and Aegir Master Instance to HEAD barracuda up-head
# To upgrade selected Aegir Satellite Instance to Stable octopus up-stable o1 # To upgrade *all* Aegir Satellite Instances to Stable octopus up-stable all
# To upgrade selected Aegir Satellite Instance to HEAD octopus up-head o1 # To upgrade *all* Aegir Satellite Instances to HEAD octopus up-head all
Certain configs can be heldback on upgrade. Upgrading CFS config can lose ports.
Caching
- Redis is an open source, advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets.
New system uses only Redis cache and the same configuration for all Drupal 6 and Drupal 7 platforms. This new system doesn't require any extra module to be enabled in any site. Complete integration is already enabled by default for every platform/site installed by default and for every custom platform as before - the next day after first site on the custom platform has been created. You can disable this caching layer using the same modules/cache/NO.txt control file as before. While there is just one cache engine (Redis) used, there is also an automatic, instant failover to standard database caching, just in case Redis is not available for some reason. You can also disable Redis cache on the fly for debugging by adding ?noredis=1 to any URL.
Development
Alias a dev.* site domain to bypass JS compression and CSS aggregation.
