What Is Your CloudatCost Project?

One nice thing that you can do is use the Big Dog series for Windows testing. If you are not using them for production, but just for testing, certs or similar, you can just rebuild every 90 days. This is how I did all of my Windows NT 4 certs back in the 1990s. Not on a cloud, obviously, but by physically reinstalling every three months from scratch (which was a huge deal back then, let me tell you!!) and reconfiguring the entire system every time. Learned a lot that way!

Yeah I did the same thing back then.. what a pain!

What, you didn't know about the 1112-1111111 key?

I'm building a small MongoDB server there so that I can follow along with the MongoDB training that I am doing on PluralSight.

Building an Ubuntu 14.04 Lab box right now.

My website is currently up and running on my C@C server! I got rsync setup between it and my home server to sync changes, export databases and import them automatically (from the cloud server to the local server) for MySQL over Pertino. It's awesome!

What's the purpose of Pertino? you can specify rsync to run over ssh, the encryption and security of it should be just as good as a vpn.

Technically, it actually is a VPN at that point.

Because I can go from local to the web server direct, but from the web server to the local server I have to use Pertino because SSH isn't forwarded on that network, and I don't have the access I need in order to enable that, so the only direct access I have is via VPN. I could setup a pull on the local server, but whatever. It works the way it is, and the Pertino connection doesn't add enough latency to be concerned with.

I've run into a situation where I need a communications app. I haven't looked at any options,.. but looking to use a session of my Dev1 to ssh a communications box. Like but not like AIM or etc.
not sure why ,... but why not. I control it..

For IM? Any XMPP/Jabber server should work.
OpenFire is one of the popular ones, but there are many projects most are less suited for business use though. I believe both zentyal and zimbra have IM as well but never of which would run on any of the Dev packages. I'm not sure how well Openfire will run on a Dev1. -
I've been trying really hard to keep some things up-to-date on my project. This is a tabletop gaming blog I started not too long ago, it is hosted on a Dev 1 machine so it may be a bit sluggish.
I've got two blog post in the pipe right now. Going to be working on more.

Look at Openfire for a decent Jabber/XMPP server http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/. I've played with it in the past and liked the functionality. If you want to do voice communication take a look at Murmur, open source voice platform like Teamspeak or Ventrillo. http://wiki.mumble.info/wiki/Main_Page

Newly baptised into the world of server Linux, VPS and 100% Shell, I started a journal thread here: http://mangolassi.it/topic/4230/nadnerb-s-c-c-project-journal.
Help and suggestions are welcome.
I hope to write a blog post about this when I'm done/mostly done -
Currently working to setup my Plex server in the cloud...

Seems like an odd place to put a media server.

It's easier than getting my landlord to grant me access to his FiOS router so I can forward 32400 to my router and thus to my plex server...

Then get your own internet service.

That is neither practical nor feasible at this point. Also, it makes no sense.

Actually, it does make sense to get your own Internet connection. I don't think everyone here remembers your living arrangements. I know I don't.
So, to us, it makes no sense that you haven't got your own Internet connection, considering what you are wanting to do with it.
