Install everything except Aegir

[greggles]

This seems like a pretty cool project, but what about splitting out the Aegir bits from the rest? I'd love to get most of the features here, but would rather manage virtualhosts more manually rather than using Aegir (I only have 3-4 local hosts to create).

What do you think, is it possible and/or reasonable to split them apart?

Hi @greggles Thats core functionality of Aegir, which is what this script is really for, can you give me a bit more detail on your use case and what features/components you are after?

[greggles]

I guess there are two reasons I'd rather not have Aegir.

1. I already know how to manage virtualhosts without it, so adding Aegir means I have to learn something new
2. I have this sense that Aegir is "heavy" so I'd rather not add it for that reason

Maybe these are silly reasons to not want to use Aegir?

My sense is that Aegir is really ideal for:

1. Adding lots of sites - I won't be doing that, once I've got my ~4 sites they'll be static
2. Migrating between Aegir platforms - again, I just don't plan to do that

@greggles if anything it's the default nginx config of aegir that you would most likley consider as heavy, which is also the part that would need the most work if I planned to remove aegir as part of the installation.

I'd suggest that aegir isn't very heavy and is perfectly well suited to only having 4 sites on it, I only have 1 site running under it on my local machine at the moment.

I also don't really have the time to split Aegir out, but your more than welcome to submit merge requests.
