Overview

Aether's multisite architecture lets you run unlimited websites from a single installation. Each site has its own domain, content, and configuration while sharing the same codebase and admin interface.

Site Management

Create and manage sites through the admin UI or CLI. Each site gets its own configuration, theme, and content while sharing the Aether platform.

CLI
# Create a new site
aether site create marketing-site \
    --domain marketing.example.com \
    --theme corporate \
    --language en

# List all sites
aether site list

# Switch context to a site
aether site use marketing-site

Domain Management

Each site can have one or more custom domains. Aether handles SSL certificates automatically through integration with multiple certificate providers.

SSL Provider Description
Let's Encrypt Free automated certificates with auto-renewal
CloudFlare Automatic SSL via CloudFlare proxy
AWS ACM AWS Certificate Manager for CloudFront distributions
Azure Azure-managed certificates for Azure deployments
Custom Bring your own certificates

Content Isolation

By default, content is completely isolated between sites. Each site has its own:

  • Content entities (pages, articles, products, etc.)
  • Taxonomy vocabularies and terms
  • Media library
  • User accounts and permissions
  • Menus and navigation
  • URL aliases and redirects

Content Sharing

Sites can optionally share specific content types, taxonomies, or media. Configure sharing policies to syndicate content across your network of sites.

Shared Assets

While content is isolated, sites can share common assets to reduce duplication:

  • Entity Types: Share content type definitions across sites
  • Components: Reusable page building blocks
  • Themes: Base themes that sites can extend
  • Modules: Custom functionality shared across the network
  • AI Specialists: CHAI configuration is network-wide

Environments

Each site supports multiple deployment environments for safe development and testing workflows:

Environment Purpose
Production Live site served to end users
Staging Pre-production testing environment
Preview Automatic preview deployments for content changes
Development Local development with hot reload
