I would think a separate vps to test new softare on would be best. 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. <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 01/23/2015 09:32 AM, Clay Dowling wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:CAMmsV6G8gr4NhObqwnzoTwTU551=61AUMWBbZHUgv2=zn0Bicg@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> Gllug website is already in a vps. I can't make the meetings, but a tool like Docker might be worth exploring. It allows a consistent isolated environment to be brought up with a simple command. <div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 23, 2015 8:18 AM, "Patrick Goupell" <<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:patrick@upmerchants.com">patrick@upmerchants.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">If you are in need of a topic of discussion you could think about setting up a vps for gllug (to go along with your current website). You can get a vps from digitalocean foro $5.00 per month. Then you can set up and test / platy with whatever you want. 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. 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. You can ask for a few dollars donation from your membership to cover the cost.

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? Am I beating a dead horse, trying to drum up interest in our meetings? </blockquote> _______________________________________________ linux-user mailing list <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:linux-user@egr.msu.edu" target="_blank">linux-user@egr.msu.edu</a> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user" target="_blank">http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user</a> </blockquote> </div> </blockquote> </body> </html>
