Aegir master server install

The install-aegir-on-ubuntu.sh script installs Aegir 1.x on a bare Ubuntu server.

The result is a stand-alone Aegir server.

The script is for development and test only, it has neither security nor performance settings!

Prerequisites:

• user running the script has sudo rights
• static IP address has been set auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.101 network 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1
• hostname resolves as fully qualified domain name. (myhost.local) echo 'myhost.local' | sudo tee /etc/hostname
• basic DNS resolution is set in /etc/hosts echo '192.168.2.101 myhost.local' | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
