I have successfully installed Baracuda, and now would like to install all of the Octopus platforms- I don't need a separate Aegir instance, I just want to put the platforms into my existing instance- provided by Barracuda. Is there a way to do this?

I would like to add Octopus platforms *AND* install the Aegir Custom Settings module to the original Barracuda installation without creating a separate Aegir instance. Is this possible?

It is against the core idea of this project, created as a *dual-core* installer, *by design*, not by accident.

We recommend to *not use* the Aegir Master Instance to host any site - it should be untouched and upgraded only to guarantee you have always safe and working main Nginx configuration/system, while all standard work should be done in the Aegir Satellite Instances, to be able to switch/replace them if needed, and to separate standard supported workflow based on Satellite and not Master instance, which is still useful only when you need to import some legacy Aegir setup, normally living in the /var/aegir space.

I'm going to close this as 'works as designed'.

Thanks Omega- you have created a fantastic set of scripts! I will use it as designed- I am still learning a lot about all of this, I apologize for my ignorance! I think you are right that your design will be much more stable and easier to administer in the end.
