[RDD] Cloud Setup Question?

2016-12-21 Thread Joe Thompson
I've got an interesting question. Has anybody tried a cloud based Rivendell server and sql server setup and managed to get it to work. If so what was your experience with it? What kind of issues have you ran into if any? The reason why I'm posing the question is I'm working with a non-profit r

Hi Joe, Not in the cloud, but I (and others on this list) have implemented several components of Rivendell (including the MySQL database server and RDAirPlay) on local virtual machines. My experience has been quite positive. The risk factor with doing it in the cloud (or anywhere off site) is the

Joe, I'd avoid anything "cloud" based for a number of reasons. 1 - Rivendell (or any playout system for that matter) should never be on the open internet. It really should be on a private LAN (or at least a private VLAN). For reasons of security and reliability it is a bad idea to put it online

Internet is going to play a big part of this anyway. They are moving their transmitter offsite and instead of forking the money to setup a uhf or microwave connection they are using barix boxes for their STL. So if the internet goes out at either location they're down anyway. I tried talking

I do agree - setting up a main Rivendell "server", even if it is on an older desktop PC with a couple of hard disks in a RAID mirror - in my view is a better option then using a cloud-based server. If you're able to set up 2 servers which can mirror each other, perhaps get aman up and running so t

I'd agree that the big thing with any of the IP based audio STL solutions does have to do with the ISP. If your link between the 2 ends is slow, or if it isn't all the same ISP, routes all over the place, etc - then you are more likely to run into problems then you might otherwise. As an altern
