heya,

we're working on a new nodeschool website.

what do we have to do to make this production ready enough to be able to link to it from nodeschool.io?

e.g. we can try and get digital ocean to sponsor hosting, etc

1) Get a domain Something like nodeschoolinteractive.io or *.nodeschool.io

It needs a wildcard subdomain to work fully. So that could be interactive.nodeschool.io + silly_names.nodeschool.io or even interactive.nodeshool.io + silly_names.interactive.nodeschool.io

By having each instance have it's own full subdomain I can open up ports in a nice way.

2) Get sponsored hosting. It's currently on digital ocean, but all it really needs is a host that can run node and docker.

nice, we can definitely get a wildcard subdomain set up for interactive.nodeschool.io

@mikeal can we get a sponsored DO account for this?

@generalhenry do you have any ideas about how many interactive sessions we can expect to host before stuff stops working? e.g. limits

generalhenry commented 10 years ago

Overhead per user is:

Server: 1 ws proxy connection

Container: 1 container 2 node processes (proxy + server) 1 bash process

new windows add a ws proxy and bash session

And then of course there's the load of whatever the user is running.

I'd need to do benchmarking to come up with a number. It'll likely end up either bound by memory or disk io. Even then it'll be a really fuzzy number since it doesn't simply stop working, everything just gets slow.

OK cool. I think we should try adding a button to the website but not heavily promote it at first, just to test it out as a sort of beta feature.

We're going to release a new website soon, i'll work on getting all this stuff set up

@brianloveswords can we get a DNS entry for shell.nodeschool.io and *.shell.nodeschool.io ?

@maxogden just reaching out to see if DO is going to sponsor an account for this. Otherwise, I think Rackspace (via @kenperkins) would be interested.

kenperkins commented 10 years ago

Yes we can help with hosting OSS projects; just say the word.

brianloveswords commented 10 years ago

@maxogden did I already set up that DNS when we were in Portland or is this something different?

kenperkins commented 10 years ago

If you want to use Rackspace, just signup for an account on through https://developer.rackspace.com/signup and when you're in the CP, send me the account number, and we'll register it for the open source credit.

DigitalOcean can also offer any hosting you need :)
