Hello Looking to build CentOS based micro EC2 instance bootable from Amazon EBS. Want that the image be minimal, so that I can add only the rpms I want.

My server must must persist, as I cannot handle issues with a dynamic server, so I want to use a server

I see one mention in the forums of someone using the CentOS5Web AMI, but I can't find anything about its provenance.

A search of this forum for "cloud" brought up a pretty anemic and mostly year or more old list of stuff. That was a bit of a surprise to me. I''m interested in getting opinions on the easiest way to deploy a Rails app to a well known (S3 or similar) "cloud" server. It should be something with little or no "installation" or "establishment" fees and

I''m trying to provide some "disaster-proofing" on Amazon EC2 by using a ZFS-based EBS volume for primary data storage with Amazon S3-backed snapshots. My aim is to ensure that, should the instance terminate, a new instance can spin-up, attach the EBS volume and auto-/re-configure the zpool. I''ve created an OpenSolaris 2009.06 x86_64 image with the zpool structure

Is it possible, using puppet, to configure an EC2 instance so that when it boots it attaches & mounts an EBS volume? If so, what steps would one take to achieve this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Searching through the archives, it seems this topic has come up several times in the past 2.5 years. Did anyone ever take on the tasks of creating an official CentOS AMI? We're currently using the RightScale ones, but I think it'd be ideal to have a clean CentOS AMI with the current kernels. Karanbir, you seem to have been the one on CentOS side who has had the most conversations with

Sorry for not replying to this earlier, I just saw this thread because of the newsletter. We have had CentOS Images running in the cloud since 09/06/2007, and there have had a public script out for it, you can check us out in the Amazon catalog here: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry!default.jspa?categoryID=208&externalID=1901&fromSearchPage=true.

Hi ! I need to create some pdf from my application. I have a table people with a field address and I need to generate a pdf of label of each address ( I think 10 labels per page).

Hi, I am starting to learn rails and I went through the guide and a couple of tutorials. Even though I understand controllers or at least I can use them I can''t see yet the whole picture. Why do you need several controllers for a single application? If a controller is just a class whose methods interface with models and views, why not have a single controller for the whole application?

Hi All, We are wanting to having a Puppet Meetup in NYC on February 3th, 2009, 6:30 PM. Place to be determined.

Brian G., Can you rally up the troops and also invite people from other groups? Also let''s have some specific topics to discuss.

Hello, list. Yesterday I was pleased to see that Centos has released official images at the aws marketplace. Nice job. Today I started playing with the Centos 6.3 image ( https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00A6L6F9I, on which I plan to deploy a gluster cluster in production soon) and noticed a weird thing. EBS Volumes attached to sd<X> are translated to xvd<Y> at the OS level.

I am making an ajax call from js to call a method (assocboxchange) in my controller (AssociatesController), using XMLHttpRequest. I know the XMLHttpRequest works fine because I use it in other places with success. My problem is my URL I am using for this request doesn;t access the method in my controller which I (think) I am specifying. I am having it post to /channels/assocboxchange/" with

I've created an EC2 AMI for AWS that essentially represents a CentOS 7 "hypervisor" image. I deploy instances of these in AWS and create an number of libvirt based lxc containers on each of these instances. The containers run fine within a single host and have no problem communicating with themselves as well as with their host, and vice versa. However, containers hosted in one

Hello all, I am wondering how people here are handling soft deletes in Rails. I''ve need a couple of gems/plugins that seem to handle this but from what I gather development has stopped on them. All I need to do right now is mark something as deleted in the DB...nothing fancy. I''m thinking that the simple addition of a deleted_at column, some named scopes (maybe even a default
