Hello,
I've been using Aegir for a while now and love it. I've noticed apache to be fairly heavy for what I need so will be switching to nginx.
Can you explain what you mean by an aegir satellite instance? Is this just basically another aegir site that can be used to manage sites separate from the master aegir site? Is this on the same server or can it be on another server?
The setup I have now is a master aegir server (currently apache) with several "aegir slaves" servers. These slaves don't have aegir on them and are basically just a lamp server that aegir can throw sites onto.
Does Octopus (or Barracuda) provide a way to setup a separate server (setup and tune the nginx server w/o aegir) that can just be used by aegir master?

omega8cc CreditAttribution: omega8cc commentedIt is not related in any way to the Aegir remote heads feature, as all Octopus instances live on the same server as the master instance, allowing you to create separate environments with virtual chroot per instance etc, as explained in the readme.
Of course you can use Barracuda to install any servers you will use as a remote heads. It will install also the "master" (but unused) Aegir on every server.
In other words, in the Barracuda/Octopus context the "master" and the "satellite" is completely unrelated to the multi-server concept.

I didn't see anything about separating environments with virtual chroot in the readme (http://gitorious.org/aegir/barracuda-octopus/blobs/master/README.txt), but maybe I should have looked more carefully at the OCTOPUS.sh.txt file.
