True. But if you wanted to do a presentation / setup at a meeting
then a vps you can turn on and off does not require you to move
around / setup hardware at the meeting site. Just bring a laptop to
connect to the vps.<br>
<br>
But anyway, it was just a suggestion for a possible meeting night.<br>

really use it to test / learn something new? I would think
a separate vps to test new softare on would be best.<br>

Digitalocean has many tutorials on setting u p docker. It
even has a docker image ready to go. So you can skip the
initial docker setup. Then just start learning about how to
use docker.<br>

think about setting up a vps for gllug (to go along

<br>
You can get a vps from digitalocean foro $5.00 per
month. Then you can set up and test / platy with
whatever you want.<br>
<br>
Openfire as a gllug private im/chat service for
instance. Softether for a secure vpn. nomachine for
remote desktop control. Whatever you want to try.<br>
<br>
You can also turn a vps on / off at any time you
want. So you could turn one on for a meeting
discussion and turn if off after the meeting. That
way you only get charged for the time the vps is
turned on, a few pennies per meeting.<br>
<br>
You can ask for a few dollars donation from your
membership to cover the cost.<br>

We're scheduled to have our second meeting this
month on this date. Does anyone have a presentation
they would like to perform? Is there a topic, or
several topics, people would care to discuss, and
perhaps have certain people there to discuss it
with, such as ISPs or those who provide other tech
services? Would you rather bring problems or
questions you would like solutions or answers for?<br>
<br>
Am I beating a dead horse, trying to drum up
interest in our meetings?<br>
