1201844 - Small django instance

Status: NEW

Description

[Rubén Martín [:Nukeador]]

Hello,

As part of the efforts to create a community dashboard, we are gathering info from different countries.

https://github.com/mozilla/participation-org/issues/133

Volunteers working on this need a way to test their django app.

Is it possible to give them quickly access to a stackato-like instance so they can test it?

(Some are running into problems due the lack of proper local machines to test it)

Thanks!

I just don't know where to put this. The only place I can put it is on MoFo's AWS, and I don't want to do that. If the participation team is doing this effort, the participation team (which is part of moco, afaik) should be the one paying, not mofo.

I emailed Pierros on Tuesday to see about getting access to MoCo's DigitalOcean account, and I've gotten no response.

DigitialOcean account is not an option unfortunately.

Who will be managing the instance? Is it only Django? Could it be dockerized?

We can figure out a way through our AWS account to support this.

It's just a temporal django instance to allow volunteers to test their app (some of them don't have a proper computer or limited bandwidth)

Safwan can reply other technical questions.

Yes. Its only a Django app. You can see it here. https://github.com/safwanrahman/community
Regarding Docker, I still have not configured it with docker, moreover I have little experience with docker. As its only for testing purpose, I think a VPS that can run a testing server will be enough. Need SSH Access for working remotely and also testing the app while working.
I believe AWS will be enough for this purpose.
