Notes
Demo of Reclaim Cloud
Tim Owens gave us a 30 minute demo/walkthrough of some of the capabilities of the Reclaim Cloud environment
- Google whitelisting domains might take a while.... But if you use Firefox, it can sometimes just make it less anxiety provoking.
- Reclaim Cloud Community Forums: https://community.reclaimhosting.com/c/cloud/36
- Reclaim Hosting's Github: github.com/reclaimhosting
- Reclaim Cloud’s mission is to make pretty advanced tools user-friendly for the educational community.
Has a marketplace with one click install for a variety of applications.- similar to what users might be familiar with in Installatron. Things like
- Azuracast for radio/audio - ds106 radio runs off of this
- Mattermost (open source Slack/chat alternative)
- Node.js
- Allows the ability for one person to maintain (pay for) an account but give credentials to others to manage and make changes or hand over.
- Can I get on that plan where Tim manages and pays for my sites but I get to peek and see? :-) LOL
- Reclaim Hosting's GitHub account has the open source code for importing a variety of installers within Reclaim Cloud. These can be shared.
- Visit env-2169314.us.reclaim.cloud to draw with the gang...
- Trial accounts are free for 14 days to try things out
- Sign up here: https://reclaim.cloud/signup/
- Feature Requests for application installers: https://community.reclaimhosting.com/c/cloud/cloud-features/50
- Pressbooks on shared hosting is missing the MathJax dependency. We were told that would take a separate server. Maybe you could host 1 MathJax server for all of your shared hosting participants that need it?
Questions
- Which applications are available within the cloud that aren't available on standard shared hosting?
- Shared hosting apps: https://installatron.com/apps
- Reclaim Cloud Marketplace: https://reclaim.cloud/applications/ & https://docs.jelastic.com/marketplace/
- Pros/cons of cloud vs. shared? Cost comparisons?
- I think I understand docker... but could someone explain it using very small words?
- Is there a one click install for PressBooks?
Demos
- Chris Aldrich photos pulled from Android Phone going via IFTTT.com to a webhook that sends data to a Micropub Endpoint on his website (WordPress with the Micropub plugin)
- More details about a part of the set up: https://boffosocko.com/2020/01/21/using-ifttt-to-syndicate-pesos-content-from-social-services-to-wordpress-using-micropub/
- Jean MacDonald
- Sunlit for micro.blog (3.0 version is out) is a micropub client for posting to any CMS with support for the Micropub spec.
- Yes, I am locked in https://jimgroom.micro.blog/
