Avanti

Avanti eases the way of deploying new virual hosts on a (currently we only support Ubuntu 16.04 😋) machine.

The goal is to have an FastCGI Pool Manager (FPM) to controll all domains.

Domains get assigned a pool of PHP processes that they can spawn.

Requirements

For now you need to add the multiverse repository because of libapache2-mod-fastcgi
