On Cloud: Show off your rails or merb app with free hosting
- adelevie 17y agoWhat's the catch?
- nkh 17y agoYou can do the same with Heroku: sudo gem install heroku heroku keys:add heroku create git push heroku master heroku open
- stormbrew 17y agoIt's quite different from Heroku. With Heroku you're deploying your app to a foreign hosting service. With oncloud you're running it locally while making it accessible publicly. No need to push anything anywhere and you have full access to your local filesystem.
- cmelbye 17y agoOh, that's cool. I didn't realize that about the service at first. They serve two very different and very useful niches.
- atambo 17y agoI wonder what kind of latency hit you get from routing your requests through a proxy and more importantly how long the polling delay of the BRIDGE requests are.
- papersmith 17y agoI'd be really cool if they support wildcard subdomains, as my current project relies on it.
- stormbrew 17y agoI saw someone doing it in the logs (possibly you?) and plan to add that. Probably in the next couple of days along with some other changes to the client libraries.
- papersmith 17y agoAwesome, thanks!
- stormbrew 17y agoHey, if you follow the new instructions you should be able to use wildcards now. It's not in the instructions yet, and the gem is really fresh so may not be up on gemcutter yet, but if you put "*papersmith.oncloud.org" where it says to put "papersmith.oncloud.org" it should work. Give it a go and let me know if it works.
- pkc 16y agoGreat idea. Was looking for something like this to show some prototype. Was wondering is it necessary to be restricted only to rails app? For ex., I can host a wiki and try to get static address with your service. Might want to check dyndsn sort of services.
