Camping list - May 2012 - Camping 1 click deployment is live! 1.ai - alpha users welcome !

Hello Campers!
I am happy to announce that the camping 1 click deployment is now available at
http://1.ai
The platform has been coded with camping (with some help from bash for the
backend scripts) and it seems to work very well.

We have spent some time to get sure that it would be secure and easy to use.
After working on an easy and secure way to upload/manage files online etc. we
have found an easier solution: fetch a github repository with a camping
application and - with one click -deploy it online at yourname.1.ai

So how does this works ?
1 - you signup 
2 - after logging in you simply fetch your camping application from a github
repository there is a sample hello world available at
https://github.com/gurugeek/0ai and this is also explained in the app admin page
3 - after fetching (provided that this is a valid camping app and has a valid
config.ru file) your application will be live.

The admin panel has all these instructions and if you try to fetch a non-camping
application from a github repository it will return the relevant error.

The system supports private repositories too (this said I wouldn''t run
something very secret and private on it!) but you would need to authorise the
github user 1ai to access your private repository.

Github has a lot of wonderful features so I feel that this was the best solution
without re-inventing the wheel. It is probably the fastest and easiest way to
get your camping application up and running.

Each application is securely isolated but all this is running in a traditional
dedicated server (no virtual/cloud/droids) are employed. This should enhance the
application performance. The server is also using only SSD (solid state drivers)
that are not yet available in most of cloud providers (EC2, Rackspace cloud).

I really appreciate your testing and comments so please go on and launch your
shiny Camping app at
http://1.ai  !

A small caveat: The aim of this service is (hopefully) to promote camping
(perhaps next with a programming contest with some cool prizes) but it is
obviously not meant to replace a traditional hosting in the sense that there
will be no tech support offered and the service is provided without any
warranty. This doesn''t mean that is not good enough to run any of your
fancy Camping apps - just that you should not expect this to replace any
professional hosting.

Note on Databases:
-If you have an sqlite database in your github repository it should work just
fine. If it works for you locally it should work fine on http://1.ai after the
github fetch
-If you want to use CouchDB you can do it with the wonderful Chill
(https://github.com/Bluebie/chill) and http://www.iriscouch.com/ (which is free
for small apps/usage). Once you have your CouchDB on iriscouch you simply
connect to it from your camping app, fetch the data etc.


I do look forward to your comments and welcome any question you might have!
Best Regards
David

Things:
1) It''d be super cool if the user types in their email address as the
username if it still works
2) I wonder what I''m doing wrong? I enter in bluebie/whywentcamping.com
in the github repo name and it says my url contains invalid characters?

A lot of repos for websites have dots in them, should fix it to support anything
github can support.

Fixed the validation but I am having a weird error in fetching from your repo:

odin install https://github.com/bluebie/whywentcamping.com.git
fatal: https://github.com/bluebie/whywentcamping.com.git/info/refs not found:
did you run git update-server-info on the server?
Cloning of https://github.com/bluebie/whywentcamping.com.git failed

Now I forked your repo on a dummy github account (1ai) 
and it doesn''t give me this error. 

Yet it won''t run because the config.ru file is not as per example and
has a number of non working requires

	from /var/www/config.ru:5
	from /opt/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rack-1.4.1/lib/rack/builder.rb:51:in
`instance_eval''
	from /opt/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rack-1.4.1/lib/rack/builder.rb:51:in
`initialize''
	from /var/www/config.ru:1:in `new''
	from /var/www/config.ru:1

I have fixed that (with a new config file
https://github.com/1ai/whywentcamping.com/blob/master/config.ru) but there are a
lot of gems not installed for users by default:

require ''rubygems''
require ''camping''
require ''fileutils''
require ''open-uri''
require ''syntax/convertors/html''
require ''RedCloth''
require ''rdiscount''

which of course I can add but at the moment I have made it that each jail has
the camping-omnibus and associated libs. Are these typically needed by all
users? Will install these tomorrow and see if it runs fine.

David

Actually I did miss the fact that you had a capital B on the repo so anyway it
works now in the sense that it fetches the script and shows the ruby include
errors on the screen... will install the gems tomorrow and see if all works fine

Is this like Heroku or something? What are the use cases for this? It''s
an
app server? What are the limitations? How much does it cost? If it is free,
why is it free?

My understanding is that Heroku uses a different system for what I gather mostly
virtualized. This is a running on a traditional physical dedicated server.

My idea of the use was to be able to deploy a camping app directly from the code
in github. So once you have it in github you don''t need to push it to
another git (as I think it is the case on heroku) but just fetch and run it from
the admin.

There are some soft limitations on memory usage - mostly to avoid abuse and not
to slow down the app - it is entirely free.

why not? :)

It should :) If you want to test it I will be grateful. Fixing ATM some issues
with installing extra gems so trying to find a clever solution to make most app
run without intervention.

I forgot to add these important limitations:
- Presently No DB Support beside sqlite and couchdb if you use it via iriscouch
or a similar service;
- No professional support - so it is free but beside some help that I am willing
to give to make sure that the service runs properly it cannot be compared with a
professional service where you pay hence you can expect support


In terms of benefits thou the app should run considerably faster than on the
free tier of heroku because of the non-virtualization and the SSD hard drives -
in my tests sqlite and all in general ix x 5 times than in a traditional HD or
on EC2.

The idea is to get people to learn and use camping and deploy it /see their app
live immediately. It should be a good learning tool but not to run a
professional application with clients etc. or where you expect a lot of support.

Heroku are the big tires, camping is the little wheels. They aren''t a
great fit. Heroku for example has a read-only file system and I believe no
database in the free tier.

This is a great little service we can build interesting things on. How about a
remote server reloader? Streaming logs? Push notification stream server? View
Source link for open web apps and demos.

I just added a link to the github repo on my links app, but if you  
have a snippet to display an app''s code in formatted and syntax- 
coloured style...

and you''ve done that job rather well :-)

DaveE

We''d need a syntax highlighting gem on the server, but it should be
easy enough to construct such a snippet otherwise

marking web design classes this week(!), so when I take a break I''ll  
try it out with the blog app after using it locally then transferring  
to the server with the db file, and let you know...

be good to have a list of available gems (unless you already did that!)

Just a note - to see changes to your app on reload you''ll need a
''tmp''
directory in the app''s dir containing a blank text file  
''always_restart.txt'':

www/tmp/always_restart.txt
