The Future of Aegir 3 is Bryght!
Announcement from Omega8.cc

Omega8.cc is now the lead developer team for Aegir 3 running on BOA (Barracuda-Octopus-Aegir stack). We want to thank all past contributors who brought Aegir to life – your work makes today’s progress possible. Because of you, there is still a Bryght Future for Aegir.

Here is what to expect:

• Active maintenance and development: Aegir 3 on BOA is alive and under active development. See Adam’s comments here.
• Migration made easier: We are working to make it simple to migrate entire legacy Aegir instances (Apache or Nginx) into self-hosted BOA as Octopus Aegir.
• Standalone Aegir with BOA features: We are doing our best to enable many BOA-derived features within Aegir standalone, so users can pick their flavour without adopting the full BOA stack.
• Modern compatibility: The BOA-based fork already supports Drupal 11 and PHP 8.4, using vanilla Drush 13 for site installs and updates while still relying on forked and improved Drush 8 for daily operations.

Development of BOA stack all components continues on GitHub.

At the same time, we want to keep leveraging the Drupal.org issue queues so the community effort continues here, and all BOA improvements can be systematically backported.

Aegir is still very much alive, and together we can keep its Bryght Future shining!

Ægir is a mature set of contributed modules for Drupal that aims to solve the problem of managing a large number of Drupal sites. It does this by providing you with a simple Drupal based hosting front end for your entire network of sites. To deploy a new site you simply have to create a new Site node. To backup or upgrade sites, you simply manage your site nodes as you would any other node.

The hostmaster profile ties together the functionality of the hosting front end and provisioning back end into a complete package. It handles initialization and auto-detection of your initial configuration settings, and directs you to the friendly installation wizard. To start using the Aegir system, you will install a new site using the hostmaster profile, which you will then use to manage all of the sites you host. (Wikipedia)

For more information on the system, and the other components, please take a look at the Web site.
