Beginner at deltacloud/ruby- how to configure + Deploy DeltaCloud API to work under a domain
Hello all,
I wish to deploy Delta Cloud and use it via its API.
I want to use its API via a specific domain, in a server where I am using a hosting control panel to deploy multiple domains/websites.
Can anyone let me know how to configure and deploy DEltacloud so that it works under one such domain? For any of the popular control panels- like CPanel/Plesk/Webmin?
So that some domains have their existing websites/php apps while one new domain is used to access Deltacloud API?
Another query- in the above scenario, how do I deploy updates to DeltaCloud?
Yours sincerely,
Arvind.

Hello Arvind,
I'm glad you are interested in contributing to Deltacloud.
You can find documentation on how to contribute on
our web site under:
http://deltacloud.apache.org/how-to-contribute.html
We are currently discussing changing the instructions
for sending a patch but until that is finalized you can
find instructions here:

Posted by Arvind Creatrix IT Soft <ar...@creatrixitsoft.com>.
Hello again,
OK one final question-- basically does a client (either using API or using a
client library)- have to provide the correct SSL Certificate to the
Deltacloud server? Is that the means of authentication?
And where can I find docs on the PHP and Java client libraries? I saw docs
on the Ruby client library online.
One more thing- I would like to (in future) contribute to DeltaCloud- in
that case, can I simply sign and send the Apache License Contributors
Agreement and send it? Or are some other formalities/processes also to be
followed?
Yours sincerely,
Arvind,
Creatrix IT Soft.

Re: Beginner at deltacloud/ruby- how to configure + Deploy DeltaCloud API to work under a domain

Hello again,
Is it possible to deploy DeltaCloud as a regular Ruby Web App? Which can be
accessed over a single domain name? (Just like a regular web app is)
What kind of changes will I have to make to DeltaCloud to convert it from
the current API server--> API Web App? Will using frameworks like
Sinatra/Padrino/Rubyon Rails help?
Thanks,
Arvind.
Yours sincerely,
Arvind,

Well, it's a ruby Rest API so, you can bind to a specific domain, also
you can put behind apache mod_proxy or nginx as you wish.

Yes. To keep things secure, deltacloud support ssl encryption and for
the credentials, you don't have to worry because without the credentials
for your cloud providers nobody can abuse of your cloud machines.
Anyway, I would like to ask you a question, where you heard of us?

Yes. To keep things secure, deltacloud support ssl encryption and for
the credentials, you don't have to worry because without the credentials
for your cloud providers nobody can abuse of your cloud machines.
Anyway, I would like to ask you a question, where you heard of us?

Well, it's a ruby Rest API so, you can bind to a specific domain, also
you can put behind apache mod_proxy or nginx as you wish.

Hello again Francesco,
Thanks for the prompt reply-- so DeltaCloud is not a regular 'web-app' which
is accessed by going to a specific domain name?
In that case, does it have any authentication/security built in? So that no
one can abuse the server running Delta Cloud?
Thanks,
Arvind.
Yours sincerely,
Arvind,
Creatrix IT Soft.

Well, Deltacloud is an API Rest server. You can configure it to be
listening on any ip address that you think is the most suitable for you.
At the end the Rest API is given over HTTP/HTTPS so you have to treat
him as a web server.

Well, Deltacloud is an API Rest server. You can configure it to be
listening on any ip address that you think is the most suitable for you.
At the end the Rest API is given over HTTP/HTTPS so you have to treat
him as a web server.

Hi
Thanks for your reply
Please clarify the following for me--
I thought Delta Cloud provides an API? How will I access the API if I cant
access that API over a specific domain(in which delta cloud is deployed)?
Or, do I have to deploy DeltaCloud as you have said, and then use the client
library in the same machine (on which delta cloud is installed)-- in which
ever application I want to use Delta Cloud in?
Please clarify the above for me.
Yours sincerely,
Arvind,

Well, deploy deltacloud itself is really easy, what you need to do is to
install it following this procedure:
deltacloud.apache.org/install-deltacloud.html
You would need a shell to the machine to install this ruby application.
Well, you should not worry about it, because deltacloud run iteself on
127.0.0.1 that mean localhost, so is not accessible from the outside and
moreover we don't store any credentials so you should be safe for that
as well :)

deltacloud if you're not using a pre packaged version (Fedora or RHEL).
