### README

All-in-one scripts (see BARRACUDA.sh.txt and OCTOPUS.sh.txt)
to install and/or upgrade Aegir Hosting System for Drupal.

###--------------------------------------------------------------###
### HOW-TO: run it with bash, not with sh                        ###

### $ bash BARRACUDA.sh.txt
### $ bash OCTOPUS.sh.txt

Barracuda will be still the main script for base system
install and upgrades, including main Aegir instance,
but no platforms will be added there to keep it compatible
with all existing and future installs, when you don't need
any ready to use platforms and instead you are using the system
for managing your own imported platforms/sites.

Octopus will be Aegir + Platforms installer (you will be able
to interactively choose the platforms you wish to install)
and updater only and will allow to install new versions
of platforms with clean directory structure, with code shared
between all created sub-instances, so one vanilla instance
will use only ~18MB, while most of the code, which is over
330MB total, will be shared.

Both Barracuda and Octopus don't use Pressflow for Aegir itself
to avoid possible issues. There is no visible benefits to use
faster core for Aegir itself, however we used it before with
good results and who knows, maybe we will introduce it again.

With multi-install system you have to remember that all of them
will use the same Nginx server, so you could break the system
trying to install site with the same domain on two or more instances.
The instances will not be aware of other running instances,
so it is your responsibility to use such system wisely.
