Privet Mike, Nice work indeed and FYI I just managed to prepare and run Aida/Web appliance there too: http://aidademo.rackincloud.com. So your approach is actually more generally useful and I hope you will continue developing this service even further. Best regards Janko Dne 30. 07. 2013 11:57, piše mikefilonov:
Hi Max, Thatâs great you found this project that cool, thank you :)
Rackincloud.com is actually my personal project that I developed to host several pharo/seaside applications (well, not only seaside though: redmine, svn too, and several others are planned). As I did not find any similar suitable solution and I have some experience in hosting/appliances, I decided to create a simple platform for easy management of several instances of pharo/smalltalk via Web interface. Seems it really worked out :)
I developed a Pharo-appliance which is basically a Linux ISO-image that runs Pharo and VNC server. The appliance incorporates pharo-vm, pharo-image and all necessary utilities/libraries in one ready-to-use package, which allows to install server on a virtualization platform in "one click". The result is very similar to "Smalltalk OS" idea: you boot and you see pure pharo environment :)
Well, I thought that this project might be interesting to smalltalk/pharo community (as the process of running a new instance of Pharo is extremely easy with rackincloud.com) and I decided to make it public. So here the short video of how to run pharo (sorry about the musicJ) http://youtu.be/TXbvO5ejZZA?a
What about costs, at the moment it is $15/month for Pharo appliance. This includes: 512Mb of RAM, 5Gb of HDD, unlimited traffic. For hosting large files there is a "Fileserver Appliance" that is basically an apache server configured to serve files from public directory. It is managed by ajaxplorer web interface.
In general for now there is only 4 appliances ready for my platform, but I can package any linux software as appliance in case of such need.
So, I hope you'll enjoy working with rack in cloud, but keep in mind that it is its first run, and I REALY look forward to receiving any feedback.
