2 minute read Published: Author: Colan Schwartz (colan)


On Friday, June 15th, Christopher Gervais and I presented at DrupalCamp Montreal 2018. That’s the annual gathering of the Drupal community in Montreal, Canada.

Session information:

Do you need a self-hosted solution for hosting and managing Drupal sites? Would you like be able able to upgrade all of your sites at once with a single button click? Are you tired of dealing with all of the proprietary Drupal hosting providers that won’t let you customize your set-up? Wouldn’t it be nice if all of your sites could automatically get free HTTPS certificates?

If you said yes to any of the above questions, there’s only one option: the Aegir Hosting System. While it’s possible to find a company that will host Drupal sites for you, Aegir helps you maintain control whether you want to use your own infrastructure or manage your own software-as-a-service (SaaS) product. Plus, you get all the benefits of open source.

We’ll cover:

  • History
  • Architecture
  • Basic features
  • Advanced features
  • Development workflows
  • Recent additions
  • Future
  • Questions & discussion

A one-hour video recording of our presentation is available on YouTube, and our slides (with clickable links) are [available on the original blog post mentioned below].
