Being new to Anaconda, I am having some trouble properly setting up a conda environment. What I am interested in achieving is setting up an environment for a django application with a postgres database. The following command creates the environment:
$ conda create -n django1.7-webdev python=3.4 django=1.7 postgresql=9.1
This second command activates the environment:
$ source activate django1.7-webdev
At this point, though, when trying to run psql, I get the following error:
$ psql
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
How can I start PostgreSQL in the conda environment? The following command starts the PostgreSQL installed outside the activated conda environment, which is not what I want:
$ sudo service postgresql start
The postgresql documentation on starting servers is at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/server-start.html - before that, you might also need to initialize a database: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/creating-cluster.html
The conda package should include any binaries necessary to follow those directions. Moreover, these binaries should already be on PATH, since you are activating the environment.
In general, if you're starting a command with sudo to interact with conda, something is wrong. Unless you are trying to do some centrally-owned install that several users use, conda should never require admin rights.
I have an unknown entry in my /etc/shadow file
stunnel4:!:11111:0:99999:7:::
(11111) are numbers that I removed.
Can somebody explain me what application will add this entry under ubuntu 14.04? This entry is not added if I install ubuntu on a new laptop.
When you install the stunnel or stunnel4 package, or a package that depends on it, this user is created. It's used for "privilegue separation", that means, the stunnel service uses it to run tasks that do not need superuser privilegues.
stunnel is a program to handle the client or server side of an SSL/TLS connection as "add-on" for existing programs, or as a quick and easy way to do SSL/TLS.
I have few cookbooks which have to be verified only for Windows.Basically running the recipes and see
I am using opscode's hosted chef.
For doing this, which combination shall I use :
a) windows workstation(for uploading recipes to server), ubuntu chef client node.
b) windows workstation , windows chef client node.
I am actually very new to the chef.Please suggest me...
In your case for simply verifying Windows recipes/cookbooks work, I highly recommend using chef-solo. You don't need to set up an entire chef server to prove everything works (unless that requirement is being forced on you):
http://docs.opscode.com/chef_solo.html
Running is as simple as:
chef-solo -c C:/chef/solo.rb -j C:/chef/solo.json
Where solo.rb is your configuration file and solo.json contains your run list and attributes.
If you do need a chef server... it doesn't really matter if you run it on Windows or Linux, just choose whatever is going to be easiest for you. Regardless the client will need to be installed on your Windows workstation.

How to deploy a meteor application to my own server?
flavour 1: the development and deployment server are the same;
flavour 2: the development server is one (maybe my localhost) and the deployment server is another (maybe a VPS in the cloud);
flavour 3: I want to make a "meteor hosting" domain, just like "meteor.com". Is it possible? How?
Update:
I'm running Ubuntu and I don't want to "demeteorize" the application. Thank you.
Meteor documentation currently says:
"[...] you need to provide Node.js 0.8 and a MongoDB server. You can
then run the application by invoking node, specifying the HTTP port
for the application to listen on, and the MongoDB endpoint."
So, among the several ways to install Node.js, I got it up and running following the best advice I found, which is basically unpacking the latest version available directly in the official Node.JS website, already compiled for Linux (64 bits, in my case):
# Does NOT need to be root user:
# create directory
mkdir -p ~/.nodes && cd ~/.nodes
# download latest Node.js distribution
curl -O http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.13/node-v0.10.13-linux-x64.tar.gz
# unpack it
tar -xzf node-v0.10.13-linux-x64.tar.gz
# discard it
rm node-v0.10.13-linux-x64.tar.gz
# rename unpacked folder
mv node-v0.10.13-linux-x64 0.10.13
# create symlink
ln -s 0.10.13 current
# add path to PATH
export PATH="~/.nodes/current/bin:$PATH"
# check
node --version
npm --version
And to install MongoDB, I simply followed the instructions in the MongoDB manual available in the Documentation section of its official website:
# Needs to be root user (apply "sudo" if not at root shell)
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10
echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen' | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/10gen.list
apt-get update
apt-get install mongodb-10gen
The server is ready to run Meteor applications! For deployment, the main "issue" is where the "bundle" operation happens. We need to run meteor bundle command from inside the application source files tree. For example:
cd ~/leaderboard
meteor bundle leaderboard.tar.gz
If the deployment will happen in another server (flavour 2), we need to upload the bundle tar.gz file to it, using sftp, ftp, or any other file transfer method. Once the file is there, we follow both Meteor documentation and the README file which is magically included in the root of the bundle tree:
# unpack the bundle
tar -xvzf leaderboard.tar.gz
# discard tar.gz file
rm leaderboard.tar.gz
# rebuild native packages
pushd bundle/programs/server/node_modules
rm -r fibers
npm install fibers#1.0.1
popd
# setup environment variables
export MONGO_URL='mongodb://localhost'
export ROOT_URL='http://example.com'
export PORT=3000
# start the server
node main.js
If the deployment will be in the same server (flavour 1), the bundle tar.gz file is already there, and we don't need to recompile the native packages. (Just jump the corresponding section above.)
Cool! With these steps, I've got the "Leaderboard" example deployed to my custom server, not "meteor.com"... (only to learn and value their services!)
I still have to make it run on port 80 (I plan to use NginX for this), persist environment variables, start Node.JS dettached from terminal, et cetera... I am aware this setup in a "barely naked" one... just the base, the first step, basic foundation stones.
The application has been "manually" deployed, without taking advantage of all meteor deploy command magic features... I've seen people published their "meteor.sh" and "meteoric.sh" and I am following the same path... create a script to emulate the "single command deploy" feature... aware that in the near future all this stuff will be part of the pioneer Meteor explorers only, as it will grow into a whole Galaxy! and most of these issues will be an archaic thing of the past.
Anyway, I am very happy to see how fast the deployed application runs in the cheapest VPS ever, with a surprisingly low latency and almost instant simultaneous updates in several distinct browsers. Fantastic!
Thank you!!!
Try Meteor Up too
With that you can deploy into any Ubuntu server. This uses meteor build command internally. And used by many for deploying production apps.
I created Meteor Up to allow developers to deploy production quality Meteor apps until Galaxy comes.
I would recommend flavor two with a separate deployment server. Separation of concerns leads to a more stable environment for your code and its easier to debug.
To do it, there's the excellent Meteoric bash script that helps you deploy to Amazon's EC2 or your own server.
As for how to roll your own meteor.com, I suggest you break that out into it's own StackOverflow question as it's not related. Plus, I can't answer it :)
I done with it few days ago. I deployed my Meteor application to my own server on the DigitalOcean. I used Meteor Up tool for managing deploys and Nginx on the server to serve the app.
It's very simple to use. You should install meteor up with the command:
npm install -g mup
Then create the folder for deployment configuration and go to the created directory. Then run mup init command. It will created two configuration files. We are have interest for mup.json file. It have configurations for deployment process. It's looks like this:
{
// Server authentication info
"servers": [
{
"host": "hostname",
"username": "root",
"password": "password",
// or pem file (ssh based authentication)
//"pem": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
// Also, for non-standard ssh port use this
//"sshOptions": { "port" : 49154 },
// server specific environment variables
"env": {}
}
],
// Install MongoDB on the server. Does not destroy the local MongoDB on future setups
"setupMongo": true,
// WARNING: Node.js is required! Only skip if you already have Node.js installed on server.
"setupNode": true,
// WARNING: nodeVersion defaults to 0.10.36 if omitted. Do not use v, just the version number.
"nodeVersion": "0.10.36",
// Install PhantomJS on the server
"setupPhantom": true,
// Show a progress bar during the upload of the bundle to the server.
// Might cause an error in some rare cases if set to true, for instance in Shippable CI
"enableUploadProgressBar": true,
// Application name (no spaces).
"appName": "meteor",
// Location of app (local directory). This can reference '~' as the users home directory.
// i.e., "app": "~/Meteor/my-app",
// This is the same as the line below.
"app": "/Users/arunoda/Meteor/my-app",
// Configure environment
// ROOT_URL must be set to https://YOURDOMAIN.com when using the spiderable package & force SSL
// your NGINX proxy or Cloudflare. When using just Meteor on SSL without spiderable this is not necessary
"env": {
"PORT": 80,
"ROOT_URL": "http://myapp.com",
"MONGO_URL": "mongodb://arunoda:fd8dsjsfh7#hanso.mongohq.com:10023/MyApp",
"MAIL_URL": "smtp://postmaster%40myapp.mailgun.org:adj87sjhd7s#smtp.mailgun.org:587/"
},
// Meteor Up checks if the app comes online just after the deployment.
// Before mup checks that, it will wait for the number of seconds configured below.
"deployCheckWaitTime": 15
}
After you fill all data fields you can start the setup process with command mup setup. It will setup your server.
After sucessfull setup you can deploy your app. Just type mup deploy in the console.
Another alternative is to just develop on your own server to start with.
I just created a Digital Ocean box and then connected my Cloud9 IDE account.
Now, I can develop right on the machine in a Cloud IDE and deployment is easy--just copying files.
I created a tutorial that shows exactly how my set up works.
I had a lot of trouble with meteor up, so I decided writing my own deploy script. I also added additional info how to set up nginx or mongodb. Hope it helps!
See /sh folder in repository
What the script meteor-deploy.sh does:
Select environment (./meteor-deploy.sh for staging, ./meteor-deploy.sh prod for production)
Build and bundle production version of the meteor app
Copy bundle to server
SSH into server
Do a mongodump to backup database
Stop the running app
Unpack bundle
Overwrite app files
Re-install app node package dependencies
Start the app (uses forever)
Tested for the following server configurations:
Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
meteor --version 1.3.2.4
node --version v0.10.41
npm --version 3.10.3
Can I remotely restart a PostgreSQL server throught PGAdmin ? The user I currently is the administrative privileges.
Regards,
Dino
I don't think there is such possibility. At best you can reload connected PostgreSQL server using pg_reload_conf() function:
pg_reload_conf sends a SIGHUP signal
to the server, causing configuration
files to be reloaded by all server
processes.
Command:
SELECT pg_reload_conf();
You can also install adminpack contrib module and reload server using Tools menu.
EDIT:
According to pgAdmin documentation:
If pgAdmin is running on a Windows
machine, it can control the postmaster
service if you have enough access
rights. Enter the name of the service.
In case of a remote server, it must be
prepended by the machine name (e.g.
PSE1\pgsql-8.0). pgAdmin will
automatically discover services
running on your local machine.
If pgAdmin is running on a Unix
machine, it can control processes
running on the local machine if you
have enough access rights. Enter a
full path and needed options to access
the pg_ctl program. When executing
service control functions, pgAdmin
will append status/start/stop keywords
to this. Example: sudo
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D
/data/pgsql
You can try use Start Service/Stop Service options (in Tools menu) to restart remote server.
