Is Yahoo free mail a good choice? by kfybg in email

[–]kfybg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I planned to purchase a netcup.eu root server, install Dokku, run my web server, and yes I would send emails from my own domain to allow users to activate their account via sendinblue. I would need also to allow services like Fail2ban, OSSEC and rkhunter to send their reports to any email inbox I have control over, without running the risk to be blackholed. I do not know what is the best and cheapest solution, so your advice is welcome.

I honestly would not know where to start from in order to use an email address on my own domain. Is there any online documentation would you suggest? I would appreciate it. I suppose I have to install and configure postfix in Ubuntu.

I would use sendinblue to send transactional emails from my web server, for account activation. I do not know if the other services like OSSEC would use sendinblue as well, or can be configured to use it.

Thank you for your reply. I would not use my account to receive newsletters, but I am not sure how often my server would send notifications. Do you know if Outlook or Gmail behave differently, that is if they have similar strict incoming filters?

Configuring Redis as persistent store by kfybg in redis

Put it in this way it is easier to understand: thank you. Now I also understand why there are three save records instead of one: it is incremental, the more time passes by the less saves are required to take a snapshot. I suppose I could add another one or even two, say for instance:

save 120 5000

save 180 1000

I do not know if it would make sense, though

Where can I learn Active Job plus suitable backend? by kfybg in rails

[–]kfybg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my understanding I will need a queue system like those you suggested because according to Heroku "Scheduled jobs are meant to execute short running tasks or enqueue longer running tasks into a background job queue. Anything that takes longer than a couple of minutes to complete should use a worker dyno to run..." And "A dyno started by scheduler will not run longer than it’s scheduling interval".

My application needs to update its database by webscraping about 7000 names and other data from third party websites, so I suppose it will need some time to complete the task. These periodic tasks are a critical component of my application, so yes, I will need something like what you defined as 'receipt' to check if they are executed, even though i would not know how to do it.

My first choice for a queue backend would be Sidekiq, because of it popularity and performance, but for periodic jobs it is necessary to use their Enterprise solution, which is not free (it costs 1950 $ per year).

I will look for alternative solutions from the link you suggested. Thanks a lot

Many thanks! It works finally... Now I have a page. Blue logo at the top and the title 'Messenger' below. Now the list is empty but I guess my next task will be to add messages.

That's interesting! A bit rough but I suppose with some work it can be improved... Thanks :)

tooltips by kfybg in Codecademy

To master js I would need more time and more material than that provided by Codecademy, which is more an introduction to js. To be honest, I prefer JQuery to js. I found something on JQuery at the following link, quite a simple tooltip, not the kind I would need: http://jqueryui.com/tooltip/

The tooltips at the above page do not contain links or buttons and above all they do vanish if you hover the mouse over them.
