Aegir Network

This module is in development. Its purpose is to allow inter-communication between Aegir servers (to address the "smart nodes" use case). The point is to centralize information to facilitate management of multiple servers.

We use hosting_services and 2-legged OAuth. You can use hosting_network_node to get the right OAuth configuration, afterwards you'll have to add an OAuth consumer to a user (presumably admin).

This article acts as a quickstart guide if you want to test this module.

Abridged summary of current features:
• Provides a network overview/dashboard, with platforms and recent tasks for each network node.
• Provides the standard task list for each remote site and platform.
• Allows running some tasks on remote servers.
• Allows viewing the task log of remote tasks.
• Displays a login link to a remote site through the standard Reset Password task.
• Displays a direct link to the login page of each server.
• Provides a standarized feature for the remote server configuration (Aegir Network Node)
• Provides a server type to register the OAuth Network Node server type.

Wishlist (see code for todos):
• Revamp server overview: Horizontal display
• Add task info to task log page.
• Allow direct login through OAuth2 Login or OAuth2 Authentication

There is a known bug with locked remote platforms not appearing in the overview.
