Certificate problems.

juandazapata• 9 years ago

Can't access the website. The SSL cert is wrong.

nijaru• 9 years ago

You can access it. The LE cert expired about a month ago though

tylerflint3• 9 years ago

fixing now. Thanks for the heads up

riffic• 9 years ago

renew your cert!

[edit to point out the irony in "Nanobox essentially becomes your DevOps team"]

danhunsaker3• 9 years ago

Cert was renewed, but apparently there was a bug in how the system chose which cert to use? Not certain how it had access to the old one, still, though.

Fixed, now, either way.

Never heard of it but the product looks pretty compelling. Is there any provision for running multiple apps on one server instance?

tylerflint3• 9 years ago

That's the highest requested feature! Should be available in Q1 of 2018.

matt20004• 9 years ago

Add my vote for this one. I'm running a dokku server right now for this reason but would rather not.

weaksauce2• 9 years ago

Very good to hear!

I don't think this is what the designer wanted: https://i.imgur.com/kHOwE5v.png

You need scripting and/or UA sniffing to display your blog? Too bad.

I haven't heard of this before, but it looks like it's similar to Docker compose or maybe a layer on top? And insight or comparison as to why you would use this over other tools.

cdubzzz• 9 years ago

It’s a layer on top. I think it simplifies deployment to various services that may or may not support Docker so well.

danhunsaker3• 9 years ago

It's more an alternative to Docker Compose, though it does sit on top of Docker itself...

I am a very happy user of nanobox, i was able to deploy to linode after migrating from GCP app engine, relatively painless. Their whole suite of tools made it easy to not scew up that..first deploy to the new server shudders

matt20004• 9 years ago

Were you running a docker image on custom VMs on app engine? Just wondering how easy the transition was. Are you still running on Google cloud instances via nanobox?

hyuuu2• 9 years ago

i was using flex python 3 engine, not custom. I am not running on GCP anymore, I switched to Linode because it's cheaper ($5 instance) and deployed using nanobox. I deployed to app engine using app engine deployment, Linode using nanobox

kapuru• 9 years ago

I need this. To bad it doesn't support deployments to packet.net.

sanderson1• 9 years ago

Nanobox does support Packet deployments:

- https://news.nanobox.io/packet-now-officially-supported/

- https://docs.nanobox.io/providers/hosting-accounts/packet/

Their full list of officially supported cloud providers is here: https://docs.nanobox.io/providers/hosting-accounts/

Can anyone using this give us a report on the developer experience? Even simple quality of life stuff is useful like how easy is it to see logs for running containers, how fast are the deploys, etc.

Thanks!

radiovision• 9 years ago

Super easy. Deploys are very quick, it's able to do it all with no downtime.

Logs can be accessed through a Dashboard and they're streamed in live, very handy for debugging. You can also go back through the log history too though.

I highly recommend.

AntoineB• 9 years ago

I can't give a full report, I strongly suggest that your try. But we are currently evaluating nanobox to see if we made the move from a another provider and for now it is very satisfying. Really easy to use and setup, very nice dashboard for monitoring your apps . Logs are present and easy to access but generally we prefer to use alternate/external solutions for log tracking (not related to nanobox) but it gives a good start if you can't externalize them. Deployment are as fast as other providers we tested. Deployments run on both local and server side, I will need more deployment to give a complete speed feedback. Scaling has never been easier. Honestly I really like the product and the team behind is very present on their slack channel to get you up and ready. So far so good.

matt20004• 9 years ago

Sounds very promising, I will give it a try. Thanks!
