I have just deployed my Grails app on public cloudfoundry(myApp.cloudfoundry.me) and i need my domain to point to it. How is this accomplished? or what are the alternatives?
Problem: deploy Grails app via cloudfoundry on cloud with my own domain name instead something.cloudfoundry.me
Resources: i have a virtual server Ubuntu with static public IP available.
Goal: have a way to deploy many of my apps each with their own domain names
If you don't mind sharing how you do it today and, perhaps, if you can reference tutorial that would be very helpful
Thank You,
Cloud Foundry does not currently support custom domain mapping. However, this feature is high on the priority list and development is currently under way. If you do a search at Cloud Foundry Support
you will find a series of posting regarding this issue and some short term workarounds that could be helpful for you and your particular situation.
Thank you eightyoctan! I accepted your replay as answer, however. i wanted share what i end up doing to have my domain point to cloud foundry hosted app
Option 1. i used GoDaddies Forward+Masking to push app on myapp.cloudfoundry.com and then forward+masking on godaddy to have mydomain.com point my app on cloudfoundry....i am sure i am penalized from SEO aspect to some extent but it works so far
Option 2. I also believe the same goal - have my custom domain point to cloud foundry app via Elastic Ip of EC2 as described in the following blog:
http://www.cloudsoftcorp.com/blog/first-steps-with-cloud-foundry-on-amazon-ec2/
Or use Stakato with EC2 that runs on top of cloud foundry from what i can tell. For more:
http://docs.stackato.com/server/ec2.html#vm-ec2
Either way, I hope cloud foundry does get this feature soon so we don't have to make extra steps to accomplish this

I'm fairly new to Akka.net and I'm a total noob when it comes to containers so please forgive me if this is too simple (but I kind of hope it is).
I'm trying to build a web app cluster using Azure app services. I want the lighthouse to be hosted in an Azure container instance. I've been successful putting the cluster together on my local box (without docker). I've tried standing up a local docker container with port forwarding but I haven't been able to get it to work.
Thanks in advance for your help.
You can definitely do this, but since you're using Azure App Services I'd recommend taking a look at Akka.Management and Akka.Disovery.Azure instead.
This will eliminate the need to use Lighthouse at all - and instead your nodes can form a cluster on Azure App Service by querying a shared Azure Table Storage table instead.
There's a complete Azure App Services demo that shows how to do this here: https://github.com/petabridge/azure-app-service-akkadotnet
And the relevant code is here: https://github.com/petabridge/azure-app-service-akkadotnet/blob/dev/src/Akka.ShoppingCart/Startup.cs
NOTE: this uses the Akka.Hosting methods, which eliminates 99% of HOCON configuration and ties into Microsoft.Extensions for configuration, hosting, and DI. Akka.Hosting is a relatively new package and just hit stable at the end of 2022. You should definitely use it - all of the documentation and examples will be reworked to incorporate it once Akka.NET v1.5 ships at the end of February, 2023.
I want to design an application using AWS as IAAS, Docker as PAAS and Spring Boot and Spring cloud as application technology.
For this, I googled and read a lot of blogs and watch videos but could not find any answer for that.
I developed one application using Spring Boot and Spring cloud technology, and the application architecture looks like below image.
This design looks good and working fine as per expectation.
Now the new task is, I need to use the cloud (AWS) as Infrastructure and Docker.
For that, I designed one more architecture, and it looks like below image.
The component as follows:
ELB - (Elastic Load Balancer) -> Target Group (Part of Auto Scaling) -> EC2 instance (will be created more on demand)
Now if I want to integrate my previous design then I think there is not need of Zuul server here because this load balancing is done by ELB, the second I do not need Service Discovery component as well because it will be done by Target AutoScale group.
I am a little bit confused here with Spring Cloud and AWS infrastructure.
Could someone help me to make really simple how I can integrate these components to work together?
Thanks
Why Spring Cloud with AWS ?
Let's take example when you need Spring Cloud even if your architecture is deployed on AWS infra :
Imagine your Product service need to communicate with your Order Service, in this case you will see Spring Cloud utility.
You don't see the necessity of Spring Cloud because you don't have an internal communication (between your services) and this is the role of Registry service.
Why Gateway service (Zuul in your architecture) ?
Again, your current architecture don't use (need) the powerful of Gateway pattern.
Let's assume your system need to aggregate multiple results from different services to response to client request. You can do this in Gateway (Zuul in your case).
Another advantage to use Gateway service is you can use it as a unified front door to your system, which allows a browser, mobile app or other user interface to consume services from multiple hosts without managing cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) and authentication for each one.
Important :
It's fine to not use Spring Cloud, is not a rule or THE right way to implement microservices architecture. If you don't need it don't use it.
I am building a web application where development teams can install and use inside their companies. I am exploring the possibility of adding SSO support with Github since it is very convenient for developers.
In Github API, Auth0, Google etc. you need to specify Callback URLs.
The problem is that since everybody can deploy an instance of my application they can host it under any valid domain or just use a local ip address. So the Callback URLs cannot be predefined.
One option is to instruct people to deploy the app under certain local domains/subdomains. However, I don't think this is a good solution.
Do you know any other options that might solve my problem?
Is SSO only suitable for apps that run under global(already known) domains?
I have developed an application with Laravel5.1. Now I need hosting suggestion for deploying my application. I know it's a silly question but I want a reliable answer. Before buying a hosting I want to know which hosting service will provide proper environment to run a laravel5.1 application.
Php version required >= 5.5.9
This is such a hard question to answer as it all depends on what you're after.
Some questions to consider:
Do you want to set the server up yourself?
If this is the case then any unmanaged provider will do the trick, you'll just need to set it all up; LAMP, Git, Composer etc.
Do you want to manage the server itself but you aren't sure how to set it up?
Digital Ocean (and other providers I'm sure) offer one-click apps where you can deploy whatever you want. For Laravel you would probably want to pick the LAMP app install. These deploy all the packages you will require and set them up for you so that you don't need to - the rest of the server management would be up to you from there.
Do you want to use Managed Hosting where they do it all for you?
OVH have been pretty good for me in the past, I've never used their managed option, although I know they have it - and I've had great service from them too.
If you're still not sure then I would suggest looking for a provider that provides servers that come with a LAMP stack (as this covers everything you need for Laravel) or one that supports PHP applications - if you're not sure then just contact the company and ask. Or find someone (a friend or a professional) who can help you get started online.
One suggestion because you are using Laravel is to look at https://forge.laravel.com/ where you can handle servers that runs in Digital Ocean and other providers.
Fits perfectly for Laravel.
I need to connect to an API with my Heroku/Rails app where I need to have a static IP.
I know about the add-on proximo - https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/proximo - but it is insanely priced, so that's out of the question.
Most people in my situation ends up deploying to EC2 instead and using a an Elastic IP as their static IP. I've also tried this and it works, but I find the whole flow of playing around with EC2 really cumbersome.
I've read in some answers that it is possible to set up an EC2 server and use it as a proxy for your Heroku/Rails app - Heroku Static IP for SFTP - but it sounds very cryptic for a person who is not very server-savvy.
Can someone give a step-to-step tutorial on how to set up your Heroku/Rails app to use your EC2 instance as a proxy?
In short: I would just switch to AWS. There is a little bit of a learning curve but it's not too difficult. Here is a presentation I gave on it geared toward front-end devs:
https://speakerdeck.com/krunkosaurus/intro-to-scaling-your-web-app-on-the-cloud-with-aws-for-frontend-developers-part-1
Amazon has 9 regions each with 3-5 "Availability Zones". I know that Heroku uses AWS but am not sure if you get to decide (or know) which AWS region and AZ your actual server is hosted.
Whatever it is, you should host your proxy server in the same Region (better yet, even the same Availability Zone). Setting up an EC2 there is easy just use the web console and be sure to give it an Elastic IP so the adress doesn't ever change. Then point your DNS away from your Heroku instance (dyno?) to this EC2 instance. From there you can either install Nginx or HAProxy.
I've just setup QuotaGuard Static as a more robust, better value static IP service that can be used by Heroku apps.
It's hosted on EC2 so you get the low latency benefits without having to start managing servers.
Hello you can use this answer to see how to use NGINX as a reverse proxy.

Fixie is very affordable option for getting static IP address on Heroku. The documentation section has a lot of examples for different languages and frameworks, including Ruby.
