Octopus Satellite Installer
Octopus is a bash script to install and/or upgrade, tuned for high performance, Aegir Satellite Instances, compatible with Barracuda.
Before running Octopus installer, you have to install Aegir Master Instance using Barracuda and then you can add any number of Aegir Satellite Instances using Octopus installer.
Note: the ‘Master’ and ‘Satellite’ names in the Barracuda/Octopus context are not related to the multi-server Aegir features. It is related to the multi-Aegir-instances environment, with virtual chroot/jail for every Aegir instance.
Octopus is an Aegir + Platforms installer (you can interactively choose the platforms you wish to install on the instance) and updater only. It allows to install new versions of platforms with clean directory structure, with code shared between all created instances, so one vanilla Octopus instance is using only ~18 MB, while most of the code, which is almost 400 MB total, is shared.
With multi-install system you have to remember that all of them will use the same Nginx server, so you could break the system trying to install site with the same domain on two or more instances. The instances will not be aware of other running instances, so it is your responsibility to use such system wisely.
Requirements
- Compatible Barracuda version installed on the server.

Bug Reports
Reporting bugs is a great way to contribute to Octopus. Mis-reporting bugs or duplicating reports, however, can be a distraction to the development team and waste precious resources. So, help out by following these guidelines for reporting bugs.
Before reporting a bug always search for similar bug report before submitting your own, and include as much information about your context as possible. Especially please include the contents of files:
/data/disk/USER/log/octopus_log.txt
/var/aegir/config/includes/barracuda_log.txt
It is also a good idea to search first our previous (now deprecated) issue queue on GitHub, with almost 270 issues posted.
