Installing and upgrading

The canonical source of installation documentation is

http://docs.aegirproject.org/en/3.x/install/

Within those sections you'll find step-by-step instructions for performing both manual and automatic upgrade processes.

It is still imperative that you read the upgrade path and version-specific information and follow all version-specific upgrade instructions before trying to run the upgrade script or manual upgrade.

Need help?

If you struggle to install or upgrade your Aegir system, you have a number of options available to you for getting help.

Consult this page for more information: http://docs.aegirproject.org/en/3.x/community

Thanks to our awesome community for their help, support and encouragement as always! Enjoy the new release :)

Major notables

  • Deployment strategies
    • It's now possible to create a Git-based platform by default, without having to enable extra modules.
    • It's now possible to create a Composer-based platform by default, without having to install and enable extra modules.
  • Subdirectory site improvements (e.g. example.com/site1)
    • These now work properly with Nginx. Previously, only Apache was supported.
    • The UX is much improved: No more fiddling with aliases; You can now enter example.com/site1 directly as the site name.
