Aegir Deploy

This module improves the UI for selecting the Aegir platform deployment strategy by cleaning up deployment strategies on the platform create/edit form.

Installation

As this module ships with core Aegir, and is included in Golden Contrib, simply navigate to Hosting » Aegir Deployment, and ensure that at least one of those modules is enabled. They're all submodules that depend on this one.

Using it

Start by navigating to Platforms -> Add Platform, and then entering the name of the new platform you'd like to create.

Then...

None (not managed by Aegir)

Select this option to create a platform not managed by Aegir, and then submit the form.

Deploy a Composer project from a Packagist repository

This option is for provisioning a Composer-based platform from Packagist.

Select the Deploy a Composer project from a Packagist repository option, fill in details, and then submit the form.

Note: This activity will recalculate all dependencies, and thus, it is very resource-intensive. It requires a miminum of 4G of RAM; we advise against performing this activity in production.

Deploy a Composer project from a Git repository

This option is for provisioning a Composer-based platform from a Git repository, where your (presumably) custom composer.json is maintained.

Select the Deploy a Composer project from a Git repository option, fill in details, and then submit the form.

Deploy from Git repository (not managed by Composer)

This option is for provisioning a non-Composer-based platform from a Git repository, where all of your code lives.

Select the Deploy from Git repository (not managed by Composer) option, fill in details, and then submit the form.

Deploy from Drush makefile

This option is for provisioning a Drush-makefile-based platform.

Select the Deploy from Drush makefile option, fill in details, and then submit the form.
