Aegir is a free and open source Unix based web hosting control panel program for Application lifecycle management that provides a graphical interface designed to simplify deploying and managing Drupal, Wordpress[5] and CiviCRM Web sites.[6][7][8] Aegir is built on a standard LAMP (Apache) or LEMP (Nginx) software stack,[9] and Drush[10], a command line shell and Unix scripting interface for Drupal.[11][12] It extends Drush with various provisioning functions, and provides a Drupal-based front-end control-panel.
In addition to the GUI, Aegir can be accessed via the command line or an API, which enables the automation of many website-related system administration processes. Being based on Drupal and Drush, Aegir is highly extensible, and several contributed modules exist to extend its functionality.[13]
Notable Features[edit]
- Mass-hosting environment with support for multiserver installations[10]
- Eliminates the need for command-line devops tasks as operations are point-and-click.[14]
- For sites sharing the same codebase, Aegir allows all of them to be upgraded at once, with a single form submission.[15]
- Post-upgrade tasks such as database schema updates are run automatically.[16]
- Rollback functionality is standard; any sites that fail on upgrade will remain active on their original codebase.[17]
- Fully customizable with its own hooks and various contributed extensions.[18]
- Backup scheduling can be configured.[19]
- Composer support is included.[20]
- Servers can be clustered.[21]
- HTTPS can be enabled on sites with built-in support for certificates from Let's Encrypt.[22]
History[edit]
Adrian Rossouw, a long-time contributor to the Drupal project, helped develop the original Hostmaster system for deploying websites. Since then, Hostmaster has evolved into the Aegir system and contributed significantly to the command-line toolkit, Drush.[23][24]
Future[edit]
Aegir has started migrating away from Drush because of its plans to drop support for global installations.[25] There is now a 4.x branch based on Symfony[26], which is also included in Drupal core.[27] This is intended to be a medium-term solution until Aegir 5 (codenamed AegirNG), a complete rewrite for hosting any application, is ready.[28]
