Livecode Server on Digital Ocean
Anyone got any experience of running LiveCode server on Digital Ocean? I'd love to get one up and running - happy to share / record a tutorial on HowTo do this so others can benefit. Longer term aim is to create a Docker container for Livecode to make this real simple for people? ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Livecode Server on Digital Ocean
That's great. I'm thinking of getting a LiveCode based server daemon up and running - so it can talk to a node based server using sockets - can you run LiveCode server as a daemon?

Re: Livecode Server on Digital Ocean
Hmm, no, I don't think you can run lc server as a daemon. Especially as you describe. The server itself isn't set up to listen on a socket. Much if it would depend on your need. I'm sure you could write something in LC proper and have it start on server start. But being single threaded, if you hit it too hard, and often, the response times wouldn't be great. It might be possible to add it to services in such a way that when the listening port is hit, an executable instance is launched (like lc server does, except apache is listening, and fires up an instance of the engine when needed) Unfortunately, its been So long since I did any real administration, I'm shooting in the dark. Hopefully one of the heavy linux hitters can chime in on this one. On Sun, Jun 7, 2015 at 1:30 PM, David Bovill david@viral.academy wrote: That's great.
