Where to start

[helmo]

To get to an MPV we need the minimal steps to start working with this.

Starting points would be either a clean debian/Ubuntu install or an existing Aegir 3.x install. Preferably the latter to quickly get to real world testing.

Lets Add a section to the readme here.

• clone this repo to ~aegir/provision4/
• composer install
• Run: ./bin/provision
• Follow the steps from the setup
• ...

@jonpugh I managed to break it already ...
On one VM the initial .bin/provision call started the setup task... which seems awsome.
After messing with it I thought to start again an removed the .provision.yml and .config/provision ... no dice.

Then I tried in a vagrant box:

aegir@stretch:~/provision$ ./bin/provision setup
                                                                                                                        
 [ERROR] Something went wrong with Provision: The 'contexts_path' folder (/var/aegir/config/contexts) does not exist.   
         You must create it or change the value for 'contexts_path' in the file /var/aegir/.provision.yml.              
                                                                                                                        

What magic environment thing did I forget to purge to get the setup to run again?

[jonpugh]

mkdir -p /var/aegir/config/contexts

There's a chicken-egg problem with the setup task... interesting, I didn't think the setup wizard was working anymore.

I'm fairly certain I tried to make that dir again yesterday ... but yes that helped :)

But setup breaks with

 Would you like to create the file /var/aegir/.provision.yml ? (yes/no) [yes]:

 ✔ Setting Provision config_path to /var/aegir/config
 ✔ Provision CLI configuration written to /var/aegir/.provision.yml
 ✔ Config Path /var/aegir/config exists.

 Provision CLI configuration check is complete. Press ENTER to continue:
