Awesome, I tried to get it running, but I get value: Missing("couch_directory"). There is nothing mentioned in the readme about this. Can anyone help?

We are using many CouchDB servers and I can confirm that we got a heads-up plus a patch several days before the 1.7.0 release. The CouchDB team and the Hoodie team did a great job handling this issue.

Fetching data directly in components is bad advice and leads to a program with cluttered data access becoming more and more unmaintainable as the app grows. You need to encapsulate fetching and storage in redux or a similar state management solution.

When you are using Kubernetes, you won't have to deal with this yourself. The Cluster will move pods from nodes that are stopped because the spot price is exceeded. Ideally place nodes at different bids. So there will be a performance hit but no outage. With the new AWS start/stop feature [1] nodes will come up again when the spot price sinks.

Same happened to me. I "lost" my all my credit. It was not promotional, but something I had paid. They informed me on March 31th that I wouldn't be able to use that credit after May 1st. :-( P.S. They had no expiration policy in place when I added the credit.

Now I am happy with AWS.

Am I the only one who thinks running scripts on a site directly from npm is a bad idea? What happens when an incompatible change in any of the dependencies is pushed. What if a package owner had transferred his ownership und the new owner pushes whatever he wants.

Hmm, interestingly I got the foobar challenge when I visited the site.

Also works on current Chrome (v57.0.2987.110) on Mac. Nice.

The risk is real. When some site has a link with _blank to your site, the opener site stays accessible for javascript code that is embedded in your site.

Also interesting are solutions using xpra, especially when are working over a remote connection. In this case you are not running X on the Mac, but a xpra client (a simple app).

For an example see Docker's blog: https://blog.docker.com/2013/07/docker-desktop-your-desktop-...

Many thanks, that looks doable. I'll give it a try.

That's interesting. When I was looking at it, it seemed overwhelming. Do you have some pointers for the basics?

New comment by js4all in "Torus: A distributed storage system by CoreOS"

js4all — Wed, 01 Jun 2016 22:42:21 +0000

Despite all the negative sentiment here, I am super excited about this. I use CoreOS heavily and really like how everything just works. Running Kubernetes on it, is the first cluster solution for me that works without configuration orgies and is robust against machine outages. Torus seems to be the missing piece. For now we use local volumes with sidecar containers for r/o storage and nfs volumes for r/w storage.

All other solutions are not practical. GCE and EBS are only single mount. iSCSI is unsupported in the cloud. Leaving only Ceph and Glusterfs, both mentioned here, but needing heavy configuration.

I got mine now. It took nearly an hour. Despite that, my early tests ran solid. The apps got hosted on AWS us-west-1.

Same here. There seem to be problems with the current spike.

Nice, is it meant for permanent hosting or just for prototyping and how does it compare to Cloudnode (https://cloudno.de)

We have added a shell that runs in your browser. All tools like cloudnode-cli, nodejs, redis-cli, mongo, docker are pre-installed. Work from everywhere, install nothing.

Nice. It looks useful to me.
