Aegir Hosting CiviCRM

An Aegir front-end module to configure settings and crons specific to CiviCRM. This module is includes provision_civicrm (previously maintained separately, now bundled together with hosting_civicrm).

Do you use this module? Please contact mathieu at symbiotic.coop. I am considering breaking changes, and I have no idea who uses it, who will be affected.

Main features

• Automate the installation of new CiviCRM/Drupal instances,
• Easy interface to backup & restore the instance (database and files),
• Upgrade or clone instances (including upgrading CiviCRM itself), perfect for automating maintenance upgrades, testing on dev sites, etc.
• Manage CiviCRM cron jobs
• Configure per-site cron settings (delay), for Aegir users having the "configure site CiviCRM cron intervals" permission.
• Supports localized installations in other languages, based on the Drupal core language.

Requirements

• Required: Aegir >= 3.x
• Recommended: CiviCRM >= 4.4
• Supports Drupal 6, Drupal 7 and Drupal 8/9 (to the extent that Aegir supports Drupal9)

Quickstart

As of Aegir 3.4, hosting_civicrm is included by default with Aegir.

• In Aegir, enable CiviCRM and the CiviCRM cron queue from the "Hosting" options (under "experimental" options).
• In Aegir, create a platform with CiviCRM located in sites/all/modules/ (or in an install profile)
• In Aegir, add the platform inside Aegir (Node -> add -> platform)

When new sites are created in the platform, provision_civicrm will detect that CiviCRM is available and will automatically install it.

Support

Please use the issue queue and report with as much detail as possible, including the Drupal/CiviCRM/Aegir/drush version. If possible, include a full listing of the task run.

Test with the latest git version before reporting an issue. The latest git 7.x-3.x branch is usually stable.

Financial support

This project is made possible thanks to the people and organisations using it. Supporting a wide range of versions of CiviCRM, drush, Aegir, BOA, etc, is a lot of work. Please consider supporting the project if possible by contacting one of the supporting organisations listed below.
