Scipy website down - documentation mirror - scipy

For past two days I have been trying to access the scipy official site.
https://www.scipy.org/
I have not been able to access it. I have checked it on multiple service
providers as well as through boxes setup in US. I would trust this site to be
official site and refer to documentation on it.
How does one intimate them ?
Also, meanwhile is there any mirror available for the documentation ?
Best Regards,
Vinayak

There is no official mirror.
You can check the availability of the website via third party tools, such as http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/docs.scipy.org
The team behind SciPy is generally aware of the unavailability and do their best to put it back up.
The best "next" option is to build the docs yourself locally or rely on the scipy-doc package from your package manager. Under Debian, one can do apt-get install python-scipy-doc and look under /usr/share/doc/python-scipy-doc/html.

The closest that I can reach till now:
http://web.archive.org/web/20161216070200/https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/

It looks it's best to use pydoc.
The most convenient form is to launch it in the browser using localhost http server. This can be done through pydoc -b and one can browse through
most of the relevant documentation for the specific package.

How could I clone apache-superset from github and run it in my local system

I need to run the GitHub project in my system and I didn't find any solution for that, so I need help from anybody
The best way is using the docker instance. In this blog post you can find details
Install superset as per documentation instead of cloning.
Then follow the documentation below to enable multi-tenancy support.

Getting started for team development

I want to start developing with a team using a Neo4j DB, a Spring Boot backend and an AngularJS frontend.
For that, I want to have a Maven Repository and a Jenkins.
To enable my team to use this, I want to have some kind of server at home that can provide remote (sequred) access to the Maven Repo, the Jenkins and the Neo4j DB and that can host the AngularJS frontend communicating with the Spring Backend.
I don't really know where to start. After some googling I found a NAS, but I'm not sure if they suit my requirements.
I've found tutorials for configuring a VPN but there may be a simpler way.
What would you recommend?
So, after some more asking around and googling if found 2 possible solutions, that i want to try out in the future:
First of seems to be the NAS (I've only read about Synology), although it not seems to be intended for my requirements. However there are packages available in the DiskStation OS that allow the installation of a Jenkins, a Maven Repo and Docker, allowing to host a Neo4j DB. I was told, I should be cautious, because only the "x86 diskstation supports docker". At this point I'm not too sure what this means, but since I'm posting an answer, I don't want to keep this knowledge for myself.
I didn't really find anything on hosting applications.
Second solution seems to be, to build a homeserver. In my current understanding, it should suffice to have a spare PC at home for that. All the steps involved should be available under here (german).
I didn't find anything about hosting applications here too, but since this is a "real" system, I'm pretty sure it's possible.
I'm going to try the second one out and keep you updated as far as I don't forget it :)

How to allow users to send issues via e-mail to MantisBT?

In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_issue-tracking_systems#Input_interfaces it says, that Mantis allows Input via mail.
I checked config_defaults_inc.php for associated settings, but could not find them. How can I allow my users to send issues to my MantisBT instance?
You will have to install the EmailReporting plugin to enable this feature. You can download the plugin from https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/EmailReporting
Installation of the plugin is straightforward, but configuration can be done only from the plugin page. Please make sure that you read the README before using the plugin.
If you are using MantisHub (MantisBT as a Service), email reporting is included as part of the gold and platinum plans:
http://www.mantishub.com/
You can find the documentation of the feature at:

Installer for Software? Paas?

currently I'm looking for an open source project that gives me the opportunity to install software easily. I prefer direct calls or access with a REST interface.
I thought that CloudFoundry would fits my needs but it is'nt so.
AppFog (https://www.appfog.com/product/) comes much closer to my goal. It allows me to install Drupal, Wordpress, PhpMyAdmin, NodeJS Apps and so on.
The conclusion is that I'm looking for an project that...
is open source.
gives that possibility to install, configure and
uninstall software
is extendable when a specific software not
available
is accessible with an interface like REST.
is "hostable" on my own linux server
I would be happy for all kind of hints and tips :)
Cheers Tobias
Docker is seems to be the next big thing in the PaaS world. There are dozens new projects that build on top of docker or supporting it. For example OpenShift and Apache Stratos support docker. So if you look at solutions based on docker you can find a solution for you needs.
Right now I'm using docker for hosting couple of Drupal websites with simple bash scripts to manage them. Nginx is used for web traffic routing
Docker is open source
Gives you ability to prepare and install apps
You can build what you need on top of it
It has REST interface
It is running on nearly all major Linux distros
Its relatively easy to learn and use
Has great community
Tobias,
Suggest you look at Apache Stratos:
100% open source
Easy to Get Up and Running
Highly extensible, flexible, expandable
Uses REST APIs
Runs on Linux (Ubuntu or SUSE)
Mature (version 4)
See:
Intro article -- "Why Apache Stratos is the Preferred Choice in the PaaS Space"
http://wso2.com/library/articles/2014/05/why-apache-stratos-is-the-preferred-choice-in-the-paas-space/
Apache Stratos Project site -- which notes that "Stratos PaaS is easy to get it up and running in quick time. A developer will be able to run and test PaaS framework on a single machine to try out."
http://stratos.apache.org/
Cheers,
Michael
OpenShift is what you looking for :
it is open source and free for 3 gears for ever.
gives that possibility to install, configure and uninstall software in openshift.redhat.com or in rhc client tools.
it is extendable when a specific software not available is accessible throw DIY(Do it yourself)
with an REST interface
is "hostable" on Fedora or CentOS .
It is really easy to setup throw Eclipse.

How to setup a website with CMS on Amazon WS

Hi I was looking for a place to host my bigger projects with a philosophy "pay for what you use". I found Amazon WS. I want to set up a site with CMS (Modx) on Amazon WS. I basically need to setup a database (mysql?) and a webserver. Can someone provide me with some info on that or point to a tutorial or something?
Well, AWS gives you EC2 (CPU) and EBS (Hard Disk). You will need to choose an OS, setup Apache/Nginx and mysql.
In their basic form, the installation procedure is fairly simple.
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install mysql
Look around the web for more complete tutorials for the OS you choose. These are for ubuntu.
As for Modx, their instructions are available.
Good luck.
Also, you can also use a PaaS solution to assist you with the setup. Such as:
https://bitnami.com/stack/modx/cloud/amazon
This will enable you to build a CMS on any Cloud provider: AWS, Azure, etc. and add a layer of support and management on top of it.
I have came across a tutorial available here: http://blog.jelastic.com/2013/06/25/deploy-modx-cms/
The tutorial seems to be more than comprehensive.
Seems you just need to pick up the needed instances, upload the application and configure the database.
