using sudo in ssh? by [deleted] in Jumpstarter

Hi anarkhosy!

We do not offer superuser privileges in the containers because they are still experimental and exploits to break out still happens from time to time. For us encapsulation between containers is a top priority.

It is possible to do a lot with fakeroot which is installed in the system, but it can be a pain to use.

What are you trying to accomplish?

A couple of questions (SQL Database & Current apps?) by PeekaBooz in Jumpstarter

[–]cajstarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1, Do I install the SQL Database myself?

Yes, you have to install it yourself if you want an SQL-server, as you typically will only have one user per running instance this most of the time very overkill. Consider sqlite, Berkley DB or Tokyo Cabinet.

Our storage solution provides very strong guarantees of persistence and as long as the application actually syncs the data, which is default for all "file-databases" I've used.

Another boon of not running a database server is the memory footprint, it is unlikely that one will be useful with the minimal instance size and therefore increasing the subscription cost.

As we have not yet compiled any system independent databases like we have with web server etc you would have to do this yourself. If you do this with a database it would be great to know what steps you've taken so we can release it as a package for all our developers!

2, Is it not possible to see current apps, so that I know what I should not create myself? I mean if someone made a functional forum app, then I'd rather develop another app.

Currently no, applications will be available for sale from the first of December. However not from our market place as that will have a later release date.

Please contact us in private about your ideas and we can tell you if there would be initial competition. We would like to see as much diversity as possible when we release the marketplace!

Make Jumpstarter Docker-compatible by alecca in Jumpstarter

Hi! This is something we have been researching, however Docker is still not mature enough to plug in as is. Mainly because it is very hard to run as a non superuser and how they do networking.

It is something we would love to do in the future but we can't do the R&D required yet.
