launching estatio on digitalocean

[Andre Venter <an...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Does anyone have an automated script for installing estatio on
a digitalocean droplet?

I guess the follow on questions are:

   1. Is there a production ready config with a db other than H2?
   2. Does anyone run estatio in production?
   3. Is there a version that we can use in a business?

I would actually like to set it up with portgresql or mysql on digitalocean.

I want my girl friend to learn how it works and use it.

I hope there is a simple way to get a working version up and running.

Thank you for any help or advice, in advance :)

Not that I'm aware of; we run Estatio on our own servers (not in the cloud).

The persistor.properties.SAMPLE shows various configurations; we run
against SQL Server [1]

Yes, we run Estatio in production, running against SQL Server.  We deploy
it as a WAR file to a Tomcat instance running on our own server.  We use
the external configuration [1] to pick up the configuration files from an
external directory.  The only significant change is that the JDBC
properties (in persistor.properties) are changed.

Estatio itself is open source under the Apache License, so you are free to
use it as-is, or to fork.

Don't have any experience with digitalocean, I'm afraid.  However, we do
run a different webapp (contactapp, [2]) against postgresql just fine.
