One of the most used container images on sloppy.io is nginx an open source reverse proxy server which can be used for a lot of scenarios. A popular one is to use nginx in combination with php-fpm where nginx is forwarding requests to php files to the php-fpm container and then delivers the output back …
In this how-to I will show you how you can build your own GPS-powered tracking system in a few minutes. For this we use the following components: The free Android app Zanzito to send the GPS data to a message broker Eclipse Mosquitto as a message broker node-RED to connect mosquitto with open street map …
We’ve just released two new major features for our docker container hosting platform: console access and the opportunity to create snapshots for every container. My initial plan was to demonstrate the snapshot feature by creating a new article in Grav and then reverting to a snapshot version before the article. Grav, which was just awarded “Best Flat File CMS 2017“, is a very cool …
Minio is a s3 compatible, distributed object storage server written in go. It comes with a server, a CLI, and a neat UI: Like for all new cool projects, there is an official docker container for minio, so it takes just a few seconds to test it locally or to deploy it to sloppy.io. As …
GitLab is not only a great code repository but also comes with powerful continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD) features to make it your one place to manage and build software projects. Last year they introduced the GitLab Container Registry to make the puzzle even more complete. As we got a lot of requests if it possible to deploy …
In this post, I will show you how to build a CI/CD pipeline with codeship and sloppy.io. As an example app, I will use hackathon-starter which is a great boilerplate to start new projects. hackathon-starter comes with a MVC project structure, bootstrap 3, CSRF protection and more. If you want to use your own app, skip the hackathon part and …
In the first part we used docker-compose to locally test and run our changes to the hackathon-starter. Currently, you always have to build the new docker image by yourself, push it to the hub and deploy it to sloppy.io using the UI or sloppy change. In any case, it would be more comfortable to let this …
UPDATE: You can now deploy from docker-compose.yml using our CLI and the sloppy start command. For details and caveats head to our Knowledge Base. When you use our API or you want to import your project into the sloppy.io Web UI, you still need the JSON format. In this blog post I want to show you …
In this series of posts I want to show you how to use docker-compose to quickly get up your next nodejs project by working with hackathon-starter. Of course, you can apply this tutorial to other nodejs projects as well. At the end of the series you will have a dev to production workflow with full CI/CD. Note: …
This is a short video how to deploy a crate cluster with sloppy. The ethwe interface is set because we use weave as an overlay network for our platform. { “project”: “crate”, “services”: [ { “id”: “backend”, “apps”: [ { “id”: “nodes”, “domain”: { “uri”: “MYDOMAIN.sloppy.zone”, “type”: “HTTP” }, “instances”: 3, “mem”: 512, “cmd”: “crate -Des.network.publish_host=_ethwe:ipv4_”, “image”: …
