StackFu Beta Program - Open Source Social Server Provisioning

• joe_the_user 16y ago
  Can someone explain what "social server-provisioning" means? Are you making server-provisioning "social" or are you provisioning a "social server"?
  • fcoury 16y ago
    Not really. Social server provisioning means sharing deployment strategies and being able to search through a collection of user-driven installation recipes. On top of that, StackFu will allow you to deploy that stack, straight into your server, with one command.

  Can you show what you do? Is this VM provisioning or is it something that runs scripts on my server or is it a dependency management program like Apt/RPM? I need screenshots and more explanation (without having to apply for the beta program)
  • fcoury 16y ago
    That is fair enough, but we're not there yet. But we will in a few weeks and we're gonna release screenshots and screencasts. Stay tuned.

  Sounds like collaboration on Chef/puppet scripts?
• mikejr01 16y ago
  I think its making server-provisioning social. Like a github for server stacks.
• chuhnk 16y ago
  What is the definition of a "stack" in this context? Is it the actual vm itself, or the services within the vm? What makes it social?
  • fcoury 16y ago
    In a nutshell, stack is a collection of components, with the goal of setting up one "server environment". You could, for instance, have a Django or Pylons stack that would be composed of a script that installs Python, MySQL, Apache, mod_wsgi and finally Django/Pylons itself.
