I have neo4j 1.8.M05 on a windows machine. I have installed the same version on a linux machine (ubuntu) and want to migrate data to linux. should I xcopy the /data folder? just /data/graph.db? or something else?
just /data/graph.db works fine as michael mentions

I am exploring docker for one of my company project. In this project I need to run the MemCached on CentOS and I prefer to run this in a docker container. I have successfully able to run this on Windows 10 machine with Docker Community Edition installed. But our project needs Windows Server 2019 in production and I want to run the container of same image (MemCached on CentOS) on windows server 2019. I googled a lot and found a link for running Linux Containers on Windows Server 2019. But as per the above link we are installing docker package in Preview version. I believe that this Preview version I should not use in Production. Is my understanding is correct or not?
Also is there any other stable released way to run Linux containers on Windows Server 2019.
Thanks in advance.
As per the Preview version you can remove the -RequiredVersion preview tag and then install. The process will install Docker Enterprise Edition on Server 2019 and not the CE version as the one for WIN 10.
If the container you want to run is a Linux container then you may face some tough times reason being
The containers(linux) runs on Server 2019 using LCOW way and the LCOW way is an experimental feature.
You said that you want to run container in Production environment and I would say not to use and experimental feature for Production.
Incase you need to run the containers on a server edition of Windows ie Server 2016 or Server 2019 you can go with the Docker CE (ie the same .exe that works on Win 10).
One important point to note is that on server 2016 all the docker versions are not supported.
Docker 2.0.0.31259 is the supported version of Docker on Server 2016.(Latest Docker 2.1.0.3 does not work on server 2016 but it works on Server 2019
Note : I face the same issues as you face ie you want the run the containers on Server 2019. The above are my findings so far. There is no clarity from windows side about how to run docker containers. Please refer to my answer :Here for better understanding
I'm struggling with the same issue for some time, and for me the only working combination of Windows Server and Docker that can effectively run with Linux containers is Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition with an edge release Docker Desktop Community 2.1.3.0 published on 2019-09-16.
The link to read about edge releases and to download them is:
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/edge-release-notes/
In my case, there was also an issue of nested virtualization, since my Windows Server is installed on VMware machine, and Docker requires Hyper-V inside Windows Server in order to work.
Fixed that issue according to instructions provided here:
https://doitfixit.com/blog/2014/03/06/qhyper-v-components-is-not-runningq-nested-in-vmware-workstation/
as far as my understanding goes, it is experimental feature, however it can be done and works quite OK.
The only requirement is that this feature works on server with hypervisor enabled.
Follow this link: https://www.altaro.com/msp-dojo/linux-containers-windows-server-2019/ for further instructions on how to set it up.
As in the question. Can you actually use Docker on top of Linux system (Ubuntu) that has NO php or ruby installed? I use postgres image for database and (of course) postgres package is not installed on my host.
I wonder if it is possible to use containers for development. How to overcome lack on rails new/rails g on host?
Docker environment it's completely independent of your host - they have the own library, packages installed inside of them. If you want to run ruby/php inside docker, just download proper image which contains ruby/php or build own image.
For ruby check this link: https://hub.docker.com/_/ruby/
Is Vagrant a good solutions for creating a Rails environment in windows?
I have a powerful Windows 8 64bit desktop. I recently did a project with RoR and fell in love with it. As I found out, installing RoR on windows is just bleh; so I created a dual boot to ubuntu. As a creative developer, I find it rather difficult to get any of the "creative" done in ubuntu because of the lack of my typical creative tools.
I read a bit about a tool called Vagrant; however, I'm still unsure if it meets my requirements: adobe suite, sublime text, git, rails, rails friendly OS(mac?/ubuntu)
Typical duties: edit an image in photoshop(windows), drop it to project assets in VM?
Typical duties: push/pull to git; ssh to VPS server?
Also, I hear you can install mac os in the VM do you think thats a good option? (because I want to try their new OS)
Installing osx in Vagrant is probably possible but it would likely be quite hard, and its not really what vagrant is designed for.
As for your other questions vagrant sounds like the perfect fit.
With Vagrant you could start up an ubuntu vm and get your rails setup going. Then you could just forward a port on your local machine to the vm and load the rails site as if it were running locally on your windows PC. A quick google gets this vagrant box that looks like it might work for you - https://github.com/amaia/rails-starter-box
To work with the site you can just share a folder between the vm and your local machine which will allow you to edit images and code with your windows apps (Photoshop, sublime) so you don't actually need to install these in the ubuntu vm at all, and can pretty much work as normal.
Git is much the same... I prefer to SSH into the vagrant box and use git on the command line in ubuntu but you can just as easily use gitbash or tortoisegit from windows in the repo folder... works just as well.
A good alternative is, https://github.com/fgrehm/ventriloquist
"Ventriloquist combines Vagrant and Docker to give developers the ability to configure portable and disposable development VMs with ease. It lowers the entry barrier of building a sane working environment without the need to learn tools like Puppet or Chef."
I'm looking to run Redmine, a Ruby on Rails app, on a VPS windows box. The only thing I can really think of is running a virtual Linux machine and hosting it from there. If that is my only option, am I going to run into problems running a virtual machine inside of a virtual machine?
Also, this will be an internal app, so performance isn't my number once concern.
Windows is not the usual place to deploy production Rails apps, but there are people who do it. Mongrel was originally written to give better deployment options for Windows. As it turned out the UNIX deployment options weren't that good either. :)
Start with the Ruby One Click installer so you have a sane installation of ruby and rubygems.
From there, you install the rails gem and the gem for your database like you normally would. Most if not all of the databases have Windows gems.
Make sure to install mongrel_service to be able to control each mongrel like a normal windows service. See mongrel_rails service::install -h for details.
Once you have your mongrels set up, it's similar to a UNIX deployment. You set up a reverse proxy, such as Apache2 and you're set.
You might run into some gems (such as BackgroundRB) that will not work under Windows because they have C code that either rely on UNIX libraries or expect a UNIX-like build system at installation time. However, all of the really important Rails gems, such as Mongrel and the database adapters, have gems with pre-built binaries available, so you'll be fine.
Just grab the Bitnami RedMine stack.
Or the Bitnami Ruby on Rails stack.
Redmine ran fine on our Windows build server from the command line, sans IDE, using Mongrel and SQLite. Granted, ours isn't a VPS, but at any rate Linux isn't required for this app.
The BitNami Redmine Stack is a free, up to date Windows installer package for Redmine on Windows, Linux, OS X... give it a try. You can also download a VMWare Virtual Machine as well
I had good luck in the past with InstantRails, but I'm not sure how up-to-date it is now, as the project has changed hands several times.
You might also try ruby stack or flash rails, though I've not used either personally.
You can install SQLite and a Rails server like Mongrel on a Windows machine. I used Aptana to run a development environment, but I'm sure that there are better alternatives that don't require the IDE to be open to run. But this proves it is possible.
Try using a Rails distribution like: http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl
One download install for rails+ruby+mysql on Windows.
I'm a .NET developer and I've set up a git repository and teamcity on a windows server machine. I'm also starting to use/learn ruby and I'll be wanting to setup some CI for ruby on rails as well.
I was wondering what the best setup for this would be. I've only one machine I can use as a server.
Everything on Windows Server - I expect this will make things difficult for the ruby CI. I'm developing ruby on an Ubuntu VM inside windows 7.
Everything on Ubuntu (or other Linux) server - Big problems for .Net as I mono isn't up to date with some of the newest .net tech I use.
A windows server hosting a virtual Ubuntu server. Git and Ruby CI on the Ubuntu server and teamcity on the windows server.
The last choice is my favourite at the moment. But before investing lots of time in setting it all up I was wondering what others may have done in this situation.
I'd also like to start with some continuous deployment as well.
TeamCity will run rake tasks just fine. In fact, we use a rake task to package up our .net solution and deploy it. If the deployment is not too complex, sticking with a rake task on a your Windows server is probably fine.
For a more complex scenario you'd probably want a *nix based machine using Capistrano. From what I've read using Capistrano on a Windows machine is very difficult, but I haven't tried it myself.
I'm running Ubuntu inside a VirtualBox on a Windows7 Host and it works perfectly. You don't need windows server os. I skipped all the .NET-stuff, so I don't have any experience in running VisualStudio and VirtualBox parallel on the same box, but in this scenario you should have at least(!) 4 GB RAM and SSD.
