Aegir is a free and open source Unix based web hosting control panel program that provides a graphical interface designed to simplify deploying[8] and managing[9] Drupal, Wordpress and CiviCRM Web sites.[10][11][12] Aegir is built on a standard LAMP (Apache) or LEMP (Nginx) software stack,[5][13] and Drush, a command line shell and Unix scripting interface for Drupal.[14] It extends Drush with various provisioning functions, and provides a Drupal-based front-end control-panel.

In addition to the GUI, Aegir can be accessed via the command line or an API, which enables the automation of many website-related system administration processes. Being based on Drupal and Drush, Aegir is highly extensible, and several contributed modules exist to extend its functionality.

History

Adrian Rossouw, a long-time contributor to the Drupal project, helped develop the original Hostmaster system for deploying websites. Since then, Hostmaster has evolved into the Aegir system and contributed significantly to the command-line toolkit, Drush.[15]

Future

Aegir has started migrating away from Drush because of its plans to drop support for global installations.[16] There is now a 4.x branch based on Symfony[17], which is also included in Drupal core.[18] This is intended to be a medium-term solution until AegirNG, a complete rewrite for hosting any containerized application, is ready.[19]
