Hello Drupalers,

The big news is that Aegir moves back — more precisely we leave Drupal 7 for Backdrop CMS.

We will cover several important topics in this update, beyond standard new BOA release details, so please read it carefully, because we normally don’t issue such important statements, and actually never announced anything like that since 2009.

It’s a long post, so let’s start with a little shorter version you can read in more detail further below.

We have good news for both latest Drupal 10.2 based sites and legacy Drupal 7 sites on Aegir. Your Aegir system now fully supports Drupal 10.2 and even Drupal 10.3

Steps to implement (pseudo) Single Sign-On (SSO) for any set of sub-sites on BOA:

1. Add domains and even wildcard *.sub.domains as aliases to your site in Aegir
2. Install and configure Domain Access -- https://drupal.org/project/domain
3. Set 'server_name_cookie_domain = TRUE' in the modules/boa_site_control.ini file

Done!

How it works?

Steps to install and configure Redis for any Drupal site on BOA:

1. Login to the dashboard and create a ticket requesting the Redis Service.

• No, no, scratch that. I forgot it is BOA ;)
• OK, done!
• Wait. What?!
• Seriously. You don't need to do anything -- it works out of the box!

How it works?
