[04:07:35]<calbasi>Hi, just discovering what aegir is :-)
[04:07:59]* shaneonabike1 has quit (Client Quit)
[04:09:10]<calbasi>I have a question: from only one aegir instance, in a server, I can "manage" several drupal sites, hosted in other servers? Or one aegir instance manage only drupal instances in ITS own server?
[04:27:58]* anarcat has joined #aegir
[05:05:19]<sensespidey[m]>yeah, aegir can manage multiple servers
[05:27:27]<calbasi>And, all these servers managed by ONE instance of aegir should NOT have other web hosting panell as ispconfig (or cpanel, etc.), should them?

[06:02:18]<sensespidey[m]>no, you set aegir up to know how to access the other (hosting, db) servers directly, and it provisions to them right from the aegir management interface (drupal)
[06:03:43]<sensespidey[m]>i guess you /could/ have ispconfig or whatever on those servers, but def. not needed and probly doesn't make much sense, as aegir will create apache vhosts, databases, and deploy files for you
[06:10:21]<calbasi>Well, trying to understand how can Aegir can help my actual hosting system (several servers, with Ispconfig, mainly)...
[06:10:53]<calbasi>Ispconfig manages databases (aegir would do it)
[06:11:20]<calbasi>same for vhosts (not sure if problems here, between them)
[06:12:38]<calbasi>And, by now, I use Ispconfig to manage thinks like letsencrypt certs., scheduled database backups,
[06:13:24]<calbasi>I suppose I can do letsencript stuff by myself.
[06:15:08]<calbasi>Then, I'm trying to figure, what 2-3 main advantages using Aegir vs drupal agnostic control panel. I'm interested in your opinion... If you should choose a couple of main advantages / valuable features, which would be?
[06:15:38]<sensespidey[m]>i believe colan has a letsencrypt aegir module working, actually. sounds like the benefit you might get from aegir is about convenience and automation, but your current system may be fine too
[06:16:09]<sensespidey[m]>tbh, it's been a couple years since I actually ran aegir at all, but it's come back onto my radar recently so i'm getting back up to speed
[06:16:56]<calbasi>Convenience? What do you mean? (my English skills are not the best, I'm sorry :-) )
[06:17:20]<sensespidey[m]>tho maybe that makes my opinion more balanced. i think the key benefits of aegir are a) convenience (everything in one place), and b) automation (push a button, spin up a drupal site). if you need drupal-agnostic, it's not great atm, tho others in this room are actively pushing toward a non-drupal-specific aegir
[06:17:55]<sensespidey[m]>by convenience i just mean you don't have to manually create a database, upload drupal's files, create a settings.php etc.
[06:18:14]<calbasi>ok
[06:18:18]<calbasi>I understand...
[06:18:28]<calbasi>In fact, I work mainly in drupal projects...
[06:18:52]<calbasi>And some moodle and civicrm (on drupal too)
[06:19:13]<sensespidey[m]>automation is more or less the same thing, but i believe you can do eg. security updates via aegir, for example
[06:19:24]<sensespidey[m]>or at least have a common dashboard to see the state of needed updates, etc.
[06:19:40]<sensespidey[m]>but things like cronjobs from a central spot, are a nice feature as wel
[06:20:06]<calbasi>Then, a drupal specialized control panel will be fine for me... I work on debian servers, and I think Debian is the default system for aegir (well, any linux, but install howto uses debian example :-) )
[06:20:53]<sensespidey[m]>yep, i think debian is default platform for the core aegir devs (who may have more to add to this, btw :)
[06:21:33]<calbasi>Thanks for your time sensespidey...
[06:21:37]<sensespidey[m]>as i understand, it's pretty easy to stand up an aegir install to test on, these days, so you can try it out fairly easily
[06:21:44]<calbasi>Aegir sound so exciting :-)
