I've tried, yet have been unsuccessful, adding an existing platform via git. Are there current instructions on how to set this up... or if not, could you provide any pointers? Of course, if either of these are platforms you'll be providing with your new VPS offering, I'll be happy to spin up sites once these platforms are added.
