5 years ago Platform and site creation is very simple actually. For Drush Make you just provide either URL or path to the makefile and create platform with single action, then just install the site. The same will be soon possible for Composer via Aegir interface. Since BOA-4.0.0 you no longer need to manually fix any permissions. What could be automated in the future is site import, though. But there’s no need to rename the site twice since Drupal 7 either. The docs still reflect the D6 times and look extremely complex while most of the old manual work is no longer necessary.
This is a feature request to automate as much as possible the platform and site creation in /static. There are the known steps suchc as chmod file and folder permissions, adding platform, adding site, and for an existing site the import of the database using drush, and the renaming (two times migration) and re-verify. Its actually faster for me to install an existing website in a standard hosting environment. Can this be improved in BOA? To me these steps seem easy to include in a wizard-like webform in which most of the actions can be performed in the background.
