Re: [Announce] Django on Gentoo (DoG) Linux EC2 Image
Thanks for the kind words. I have the dyndns stuff implemented for myself but didn't include in the image. I'm still working all that out. Here's a good post with some great ideas on scalability: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/thread.jspa?messageID=57395 It looks like he is having instances post host information to S3 where all the servers are going to for updates on who is in the cloud. My guess is something like that would work well. I will be experimenting with an implementation similar to that at some point as I will eventually need that level of scalability. I will probably contact Steve for some insight. I'm also working out the writing WAL to S3 every 2 or 3 minutes. Have you got that implemented yet?

very nice job and thanks too for sharing I have a instance running django stuff on EC2 too with dyndns.org set up. Everything is on one instance and I plan to multi-tier this application. As we are experimenting teh same solutions, do you have anything to share regarding this special stuff on EC2 ( http://media.djangobook.com/content/chapter21/scaling-5.png) and the fact that an instance is not persistent and this product could fill the gap ( http://www.openfount.com/) 2007/6/2, mtrier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > If you EC2 (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2) then read on otherwise you can > ignore all of this.

[Announce] Django on Gentoo (DoG) Linux EC2 Image
If you EC2 (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2) then read on otherwise you can ignore all of this. I've prepared a Django on Gentoo (DoG) Linux image for EC2. This is built on the base Gentoo image that I posted about previously. I added a whole bunch of goodness to run Django. Included are a whole set of startup scripts that build up the system and initialize the application. Although this is a long post, please be sure to read the "Special Instructions" if you want to get maximum benefit from this image. AMI ID: ami-29947140 AMI Manifest: eminent-ami/django/10/image.manifest.xml About this AMI -- * Published by Eminent Consulting Group ([http:// www.djangoconsulting.com]). * Django on Gentoo (DoG) Linux System * This image contains a Gentoo Linux 2007.0 installation with Django application support. * Gentoo Linux - dhcpcd, - logrotate, - all packages are recent and updated, - AMI tools have been installed and are fully working even for volume imaging, - EC2 meta-data is fetched from 169.254.169.254 into /var/spool/ec2/ meta-data, - EC2 meta-data and user-data include files in /var/spool/ec2/meta- data and /var/spool/ec2/user-data respectively, - Disabled password authentication in /etc/ssh/sshd_config - Modifications to startup according to Amazon documentation - the portage tree has been bind-mounted to /mnt/usr/portage to preserve space on the root file system, - the /tmp directory has been bind-mounted to /mnt/tmp to preserve space, - the /var/lib/postgresql directory has been bind-mounted to /mnt/ var/lib/postgresql, - the root home directory contains a dev-copy directory that is needed to build the volume images, - all packages have been recompiled to correctly respect the Xen environment. * Django - Apache 2.2.4 installed (not in startup) and configured with Python support, - Python 2.5.1, - mod_python, - Postgresql 8.2.4 (not in startup), - psycopg2 - Subversion 1.4.3 (no repositories are setup) - Django trunk version checked out into /home/django/django and installed as normal into the Python site-packages directory (django- admin.py copied to /usr/local/bin/), - Support packages: libjpgeg, zlib, freetype2, zip, and unzip, - Python packages: PIL 1.1.6, FeedParser 4.1, Markdown 1.6, Unipath 0.1, * This image contains the following daemons / services: - local - net.eth0 / net.eth1 - netmount - dhcpcd - sshd - syslog-ng - vixie-cron - apache 2 (disabled by default) - postgresql (disabled by default) Special Instructions Sample Application -- The instance can accept a set of user data parameters for setting up an application. I've provided a default application to indicate the process for creating your own application setup scripts. If you run the instance with the following parameters it will startup a complete running default application based on the Django Vote tutorial. ec2-run-instances ami-29947140 -k gsg-keypair -d "app=mysite- setup&url=http://s3.amazonaws.com/eminent-ami/mysite-setup.tgz"; Once the server is up and running you should be able to to enter the public hostname (starts with ec2) into your browser and view the application. The Admin section of the application is in the location / admin. Credentials are: Username: admin Password: password The default application will be installed into the /home/django/mysite directory. The setup scripts for the application will get installed into /opt/mysite-setup. The Admin media directory and the mysite media directory are both symbolically linked to the /var/www/mysite/ htdocs directory. Postgresql Configuration Postgresql is installed but there is no database setup and the service is not started by default. The database directory /var/lib/postgresql is bind mounted to /mnt/var/lib/postgresql. The configuration files have been configured according to the Gentoo Postgresql How-To (http:// gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Configure_Postgresql) document with the included logging changes. Configuration files are symbolically linked in from / etc/postgresql for those that like that sort of thing. A sample of creating and restoring the database can be found in the mysite-set
