VirtKick - a simple, open source cloud panel: https://www.virtkick.io/

Virtual machines and Docker containers made easy. 1-click install on a desktop or server, auto-configure hypervisors, super-usable interface. This week we're releasing a standalone alpha (almost one-click). https://github.com/virtkick/virtkick-starter

tl;dr DigitalOcean for open source.

Works good for me, en_US.

Holy smokes, another Электроника game I played 20 years ago. http://www.pica-pic.com/#/space_bridge/ I'll definitely ask my parents to look for this game, maybe it's still somewhere there.

Found the source here: https://github.com/pawel-winiecki/nu-pogodi-html5-game

Of course! I've been watching it for an hour now (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko6UEwT9i20). I wanted to find something about Nu Pogodi and found the hand-held game I played ~20 years ago.

Maybe place all the marks in the town center?

Although I use Chef on most of my servers, I like Rex because it doesn't require any client/agent running on the machine.

The books that I think are must-read are "The Pragmatic Programmer" and "Apprenticeship Patterns". I learned a lot from them.

I'm aware you expect some quick tips from HN though. Have a look at my old blog posts that summarize these books. While 3 years old and written in Polish, Google translated it very well. Direct links to the translations: https://bit.ly/1oZiidn and https://bit.ly/1w8ELhY.

It depends on the app. Single page apps are perfect for websites that should feel like native desktop or mobile apps. For websites that have a lot of dynamic content I'd say it's a must - too much JQuery for AJAX and DOM manipulation may indicate that.

On the other hand, if the app is very simple and has got just a little dynamic content, there's no need for SPA approach. For example, an admin panel for cloud like DigitalOcean or my project (https://demo.virtkick.io/) are good enough with server-side views.

Also, if the app needs to be super-fast, especially on mobiles, then server-side generated views are rather prefered. However, Twitter serves server-side generated views for first page load, and then does the rest like a SPA. While not possible with AngularJS (yet), you can do that by building your own stack on top of Express.js - just render the templates with JADE on server-side or client-side. That's the example my friend did a few months ago: https://github.com/RushPL/express-app-angular

What you see under https://demo.virtkick.io is https://github.com/virtkick/virtkick-prototype.

Thanks for your feedback. Actually, the explanation is below the menu. It wasn't clear enough I guess? This is a static HTML prototype.

There is only one dynamic thing: the noVNC console that connects to a real VM. The VM doesn't have any network or storage - it's just an Arch Linux LiveCD. A cronjob restarts it every 30 minutes to ensure it's usable - some people have bad habits to execute commands that break the OS. ;)

Thanks. OP wasn't interested in Windows. I have never been either, so I didn't even know. Thanks for the info.

Regarding the small files performance - thanks for pointing it out. We are using Bacula to backup JIRA & Confluence data stored directly on the disk as files. Some customers have thousands of small attachments in their instances. I haven't seen any performance problems though. Maybe because not only there need to be thousands of small files, but also they need to change often, which is not a case for us. Will keep this in mind. Thanks.

Bacula. http://bacula.org/ At my company we are using it for server backups. Linux desktop would do too. Google says it's possible to use Bacula Client on Mac, but you'd need to figure out yourself.

Bacula is actively developed. http://www.bacula.org/git/cgit.cgi/bacula/log/?h=Branch-7.0 No risk of being unmaintained at some point, since they build commercial stuff on top of community Bacula.

In understand the key is not transfered to the server, but I would still love to see SSL. I also wouldn't want any external resources on the page. No Statcounters or Analytics. Good direction though, appreciate the effort!
