UPDATE: After introducing dual-core Barracuda/Octopus Aegir Installer, this thread is continued also here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/89594.
As promised before, I submitted an enhanced version of the all-in-one install script for deploying complete Aegir Hosting System from scratch. It is compatible with latest Aegir 0.4-alpha11 release (and also with HEAD from git.aegirproject.org)
UPDATE: Aegir version, URL, server IP and hostname now configurable. Lucid, Karmic and Lenny fully supported.
Believe me or not, but everything you need to configure in this script is your e-mail address :)
This is the first script from the new series and requires Ubuntu Lucid or Karmic, or Debian Lenny vanilla OS install. I hope to do the same with Cherokee web server very soon.
My configuration is based on the stable version of PHP 5.2.14, MariaDB and Nginx (See the README below).
But it offers even more. The script will install also a simple but effective auto-healing and services monitoring system, with pro-active security guard to avoid unauthorized access attempts, resources abuse and simple DoS attacks, create nightly db backups etc.
