  • You are running Ubuntu 14.04 or Linux workstation.

  • Git installed on your server, which you can do by following the How To Install Git with Apt.

  • An account on GitHub, which is a Git repository host.

  • You have to create a valid credential access for https://console.VirtEngine.com.

  • You have to install openssh-server for ssh access.

      sudo apt-get install openssh-server

  • Check SSH working properly

      ps aux | grep sshd This initial section contains everything you need to get etherpad-lite running on your server.

Step-1 Fork travis-web

  • Fork travis-web from here

  • You will be see the fork option in the top right corner of the git hub page.click the fork option.

  • The travisweb is forked into your git repository

Step-2 create SSHKey and launch the app

  • Then go to your VirtEngine Dashboard

  1. Click Marketplace on the top bar.Marketplace contains all the linux distros, applications, services and microservices which VirtEngine supports.

  2. Click Nodejs Icon.A window will pop up with for SSHkey options. You can create new sshkey, use an existing sshkey or upload your own sshkeys too.

  3. Pick a repository by Choose your public repository.

Let us use Github: /travisweb

  1. To launch Nodejs App.Click Create.

  • Voila ! Your App is up to date.

  • Now that you have launched your app, you might want to launch a service (database) and bind it

Start script

VirtEngine will look for a start script named `start as follows.

#!/bin/sh
 	sudo invoke-rc.d shellinabox stop
npm install -g ember-cli
 	bower install --allow-root
 	npm install -g watchman`
 	npm rebuild node-sass
 	npm install
 	ember serve

Step-3 Open Your Web browser

You can access your web page using https://IP_ADDRESS/4200

Introduction

Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as database, cache and message broker. It supports data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs and geospatial indexes with radius queries. Redis has built-in replication, Lua scripting, LRU eviction, transactions and different levels of on-disk persistence, and provides high availability via Redis Sentinel and automatic partitioning with Redis Cluster.

This tutorial will guide you in launching Redis.

Prerequisites

  • You are running Ubuntu 14.04 or Linux workstation.

  • Git installed on your server, which you can do by following the How To Install Git with Apt.

  • An account on GitHub, which is a Git repository host.

  • You have to create a valid credential for accessing https://console.VirtEngine.com. How to create an account with VirtEngine

You have to install openssh-server in your linux machine for ssh access.

$ sudo apt-get install openssh-server

To check the ssh is properly installed in our system

$ ps aux | grep sshd

Step - 1 Creating Redis

This initial section contains everything you need to get Redis and running on your server.

  • First, ensure the user can login to our console.VirtEngine.com

  • Go to the Market Places.

  • Select the Redis, A window will pop up with for CPU, storage, RAM and SSHkey options.

  • You can choose the storage size and RAM capacity.

  • You can create a new sshkey, use an existing sshkey or import your own sshkeys too.

  • Click the create button. it will create the virtual machine.

Step - 2 Accessing Redis

Next, Go to the Dashboard and click the domain name a new window is open.

  • It contains the CPU, RAM and NETWORK tab.

  • It shows the Metrics, VM Logs, IP address and SSH URL.

  • Metrics shows the CPU,RAM and NETWORK usage.

  • VM Logs shows all the running process in VM.

  • You need to access the Virtual Machine from a terminal.

  • You can download the SSH Keys from SSH Keys tab or Overview page. Use this key to login to your virtual machine using the following command,

$ ssh -i path to/ root@

  • Now, you are login into vm then start the Redis use the following command

      $ redis-server

  • Check if Redis is working properly is sending a PING command using redis-cli:

    $ redis-cli ping 
      PONG

Successfully launched the vm and login into Redis.

Conclusion

These are the very simple steps to launch Redis in virtual machine.This is a good head-start for launching Redis in VirtEngine.
