Im interested in doing some development from my iPad, and one idea I had would be to code from the safari browser. Does anyone know of a way to set up eclipse on a cloud-based server, so that it can be accessed from a browser?
I believe, you will need the following parts to make it work
The cloud server must be based on one of the supported Eclipse Target Environments.
The cloud server provider must support UI based on some sort of remote desktop - e.g. VNC. Be aware that many cloud providers does not allow UI.
iPad must support the same remote desktop technology. There seem to be many VNC implementations for iPad...
I guess the difficult part is to find a cloud server to use. Though you, as an alternative, could use any PC with an VNC server where you have Internet access...

I have the task of implementing iot device management using Eclipse Leshan. I have difficulty understanding how Eclipse Leshan works in connecting IOT sensors with servers and cloud. Is it true if I declare that Eclipse Leshan does not require a gateway like Eclipse Kura to connect into server and cloud?
Does anyone know where the complete documentation about Eclipse Leshan is? it would be very helpful if there were examples of programs in implementing the eclipse leshan.
Thank you
Eclipse Leshan is a library for implementing applications that use the LWM2M protocol to manage devices. As such, your application can use Leshan's Java API in order to interact with devices that also support LWM2M.
LWM2M does not per se mandate a transport protocol. However, the spec is written assuming that CoAP over UDP is used for that purpose. In fact, the LW in LWM2M stands for Lightweight and as such, using CoAP as the transport protocol makes a lot of sense for managing constrained devices.
Eclipse Leshan itself does not connect to a server or cloud but instead is usually part of an application that is hosted on a server (on the cloud). However, you need to implement that application yourself because Leshan, as indicated above, is just a library. The devices then interact with your LWM2M enabled application. Because CoAP/UDP uses standard IP, this interaction can occur over public internet infrastructure if desirable in your use case, i.e. no gateway is necessarily needed. You can, however, also connect your devices to a local gateway, e.g. Kura, and then connect the gateway to your LWM2M server in the cloud instead. It really depends on your use case and the capabilities of the devices.

I've been tasked with setting up some VMs. I've been given some admin details but no further guidance. The server is a fresh install.
My problem is that I'm on Linux/OSX and don't want to run Windows aside from setting up after which I hope to be able to manage things through the web client.
I think there is an ESXi installation. This would be Version 6. How do I set up the web client?
I've installed vSphere Client on a local Windows VM.. not sure what to do with it though.
The documentation is pretty awful and there hasn't been much useful info on the net. I'm really stuck as I didn't set these up and haven't used servers like this before, so I have no context or understanding of the VMWare ecosystem beyond using a virtual machine locally! (even then I've preferred Virtualbox)
Any advice would be amazing
p.s accessing https://[ipaddress]/vsphere-client does not work. Produces a blank browser page... with no html served as an error
If you have the name of the server on which the VMs are stored, type this into the URL of a web browser then it gives you management options or alternatively use this login screen:
I need to show to a user an interface of some application running on a server using a browser. It should be like RDP-client for a single application on a server.
Are there any solutions or services that can implement following functionality? Maybe Citrix?
Thanks in advance!

About FreeRDP-WebConnect
FreeRDP-WebConnect is an open source gateway for accessing RDP
sessions using any HTML5 compliant browser. In particular it relies on
the Canvas and the WebSockets feature. FreeRDP-WebConnect is a
subproject of the FreeRDP project.
On the server side, a standalone daemon - written in C++ - provides a
Web page via HTTPS (or HTTP, if configured) and uses FreeRDP libs to
connect as a client to any RDP session. The server side WebSockets
implementation handles current RFC6455 only, so browsers that
implement the older drafts do not work. With RFC6455 being raised to
the "Proposed Standard" level, this should change now really soon.
I would create an account on the server for the user, and only give it access to the one application it needs access to.
You can use Cameyo. To start, create yourself a free account, and click on "Add App". If your installer supports unattended installation, you simply need to submit it. Otherwise, you can build a Cameyo package locally and send it in. It will then be playable as HTML5.
You don't indicate what server you are running on.
As an alternative to FreeRDP-Webconnect cited above, also open source and also using FreeRDP as rdp client through an HTTP gateway, there is Myrtille.
FreeRDP-WebConnect embeds a standalone daemon written in C++ to provide a web page via HTTP(S), and so will also work on Linux servers, while Myrtille have a IIS/.NET (C#) implementation and an MSI installer, thus is more intended for Windows Servers.
Is there a way to debug (specifically step-through) a Google app engine application that has been deployed to the cloud. The reason I am asking is that there are certain things that either cannot be debugged locally or require work-arounds to test locally (eg. CRON Jobs).
Specifically I want to do this using Eclipse.
Update: as of 2015 it is possible to debug AppEngine Java applications if they run on Managed VMs. Also, the debugger is a web-based hosted debugger - no support yet for your popular IDE. See Cloud Debugger.
No, this can not be done.
One of the reasons why this most probably will never be available is that GAE is a distributed cloud system, where an "application" can have multiple instances running in parallel and there is no guarantee that consequent requests (e.g. a user session) would be served by the same instance. So there would be no way to know to which instance to connect debugger to.

super basic question - I am building an iphone app but will need to set up my computer as a server so my app can send data to my computer. what are the first steps that i need to take?
Thanks!
If you are writing an iPhone app you are probably on a Macbook so you can easily enable Apache in system preferences, click sharing, enable web sharing it will then show you your computers IP address that you can hit over a web browser.
That will set you up with a web server on your machine. Since your emulator and web server will be on the same wifi network and even if you deploy to the device you can have it on your wifi network you should be able to post data to your Mac's web server.
If you are passing data to it you'll need to read about 'web services', probably REST web services. I would then suggest reading about PHP and/or Ruby or Python as your programming language to interpret what you are posting to the web service.
Hope that helps you on your way.
If you are not on a Mac you can't develop an iPhone app anyways ;) so the above strategy should work for you.
3G will only work for you if your server is available outside of the network. Tons of info online on how to set that up but essentially what you would do is configure your router to forward incoming traffic from (for example) port 8080 to the ip address of your server. Assuming you are on a router.
As a side note, if down the line you use Ruby you could check out http://www.heroku.com/how if you want to host your server there
