ACTOR-platform REST Api? - actor

has anybody tried installing in digital ocean? what is the recommended specification and have they exposed any REST APIs? Their documentation is not yet complete and unable to judge how to close to they are production ready?

It installs on Ubuntu (no matter which cloud provider) easily.
It is production ready, there was a blog post about it.
Documentation has been fulfilled to a 1.0 release too.

looking for Parse alternative server

I'm a hobby developer that use Parse.com as my database and website host, as Facebook is going to shutdown Parse.com, I'm now looking for alternative Parse server.
I use Parse's Cloud Code Hosting to build Dynamic Web App, and Parse itself to store data collected from the website I've build, with custom Cloud Code to help getting and managing data. I've build a Windows Phone app for myself to manage the data I've collected too.
Is there any alternative server that has my requirement?
Dynamic Website
Database host
Custom Cloud Code (with BeforeSave and AfterSave trigger)
with Windows Phone SDK (or REST API if doesn't have)
Very thank you for helping me!
Try out Hasura.
Hasura (http://www.hasura.io): Hasura is a neat PaaS + BaaS solution. It is now competing with Firebase, Kinvey, Heroku et al. There is a full comparison page here: Compare | Hasura (https://compare.beta.hasura.io) . The difference majorly lies in infra ownership as well as no tech lock-in due to open-source components(like docker, kubernetes,postgres) building the major chunk of the platform. Check it out. There is also an option to explore (https://explore.beta.hasura.io/) Hasura by building your own blog web app and a todo app in under 15 mins.
Hasura should fit in perfectly for your needs.
DISCLAIMER : Hasura Engineer here.
I'm using Simbla website application development. It doesn't support all of your requirments but it has great UI builder with a backend parse database.
You can try using the parse open source server it has cloud code and you can use a custom database with it.

CodenameOne plan for the cloud storage API

Since CodenameOne doesn't support "the cloud storage API" any more and the parse.com is going to retire soon as well. Does CodenameOne has any plan to release a new Cloud Storage API or provide suggestions/guidelines to help developers to deal with the parse4cn1 library code, cloud code, database structure and data in parse.com?
That is something you will have to figure out yourself as parse4cn1 was initially contributed by a community member and wasn't developed by Codenameone team.
You can use a simple webservices created in php, python or java, hosted along your content with any ISP.
You may also have a look at amazon aws which is promising, they provide a cloud solution but their SDKs is not yet integrated to Codenameone.
I made the parse4cn1 lib and I'm also wondering what's smartest to do. With the announcement of Parse.com's imminent shutdown, there's been a lot of discussion around alternatives. My feeling is that "the dust is yet to settle" as per what options are best and reliable for the longer term (it would be a pity to migrate to another service only for it to be shut down soon). So I personally plan to wait till sometime in Q2 to do a proper evaluation of the alternatives. Hopefully, there'll be more clarity then.
The option to host one's own Parse server (e.g. on AWS or Heroku) is getting interesting. They recently announced support for push notifications on iOS and Android. If (when?) they open source the Parse.com dashboard code, I think that option would be much more interesting.
At some point in the coming months, I plan to make a parse4cn1 release that exposes an option to set the server path. With that, anyone migrating to the Parse server option should, in principle, be able to continue to use the cn1lib. Of course, for features that are supported by the open source Parse server.
PS: Here are pointers to some of such discussions on Parse alternatives:

Docker Registry 2.0 enable CORS

for a project i need to communicate with a privat Docker Registry via AJAX Requests, but I get an error because of the "Same Origin Rule" and I should enable CORS.
I managed to start the Docker Remote API with CORS enabled (flag: --api-enable-cors) is there any equivalent way to do this with a private Registry?
Or is there another way to enable CORS when starting a private Registry?
[EDIT: FYI - Registry and the mentioned Remote API are on different Machines]
To set up de private Registry I followed the steps of the official Documentation:
https://docs.docker.com/registry/deploying/
and I am using the Compose Version, to switch between Registry Version 1.0 and 2.0...
I'm quite a noob in Web implementation, but it is necessary for my project.
Thanks in advance for help & sry for the bad english :)
No, unfortunately, the v2 registry does not support any CORS options as of this question and answer. The v2 registry is a brand new project written in a completely different language (Go versus v1's Python), and so many of the features available for v1 have not yet been implemented for v2. Actually the flag you used (--api-enable-cors) is a feature currently only available in the docker remote API, and not in the v2 registry.
The way I get around v2's (currently) limited registry API is to use Jason Wilder's Nginx reverse proxy for docker, which uses his homegrown docker-gen utility to proxy for docker containers. Doing this opens up a bunch of "standard" features like authentication, CORS, SSL, etc. Even though right now this feature isn't implemented in the v2 registry, keep in mind that development is moving very quickly. Good luck!

is it possible to Enable Fine-Grained XACML Authorization with PIP points Using WSO2 API Manager 1.7.0

in fact i have read this article:
http://wso2.com/library/articles/2013/11/fine-grained-xacml-authoriation-with-pip-points/
it was really interesting for me. it matches very well what i want to do.
i've tried to do the same thing but using wso2am 1.7.0 API Manager.
But while i'm trying to retrieve the policies navigating in the carbon UI
home->PAP->PolicyAdministration
i got the following exception
The following error details are available. Please refer logs for more details.
org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Exception occurred while trying to invoke service method getAllPolicies
at org.wso2.carbon.identity.entitlement.ui.client.EntitlementPolicyAdminServiceClient.handleException(EntitlementPolicyAdminServiceClient.java:478)
at org.wso2.carbon.identity.entitlement.ui.client.EntitlementPolicyAdminServiceClient.getAllPolicies(EntitlementPolicyAdminServiceClient.java:81)
at org.apache.jsp.entitlement.index_jsp._jspService(org.apache.jsp.entitlement.index_jsp:183)
at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:111)
Can anyone help me answering these questions?
IS it possible to do the same thing with WSO2 AM?
Do you have idea to solve this issue?
Thanks.
Yes.. you can do it with APIM, but you need to install the XACML feature in to the Identity Server. According to the your comment, It seems to be that you have already installed the XACML feature in APIM. Because if not, you can not see the PAP->Policy Administration UI. But there can be some version mismatch when installing the feature.. Because APIM and WSO2IS may not have released in same version of the org.wso2.carbon.identity.entitlement.stub. However same type of SO question can be found from here. I have given some solution for it. You can try it as well. But if you are looking for proper deployment, I suggest to use Identity Server as separate PDP engine rather than installing PDP feature in the APIM. You can find about more details from here as well

Does Cloud Foundry support web sockets?

I have deployed the play framework 2.0's sample websock-chat app onto cloud foundry, but the part after you join the chatroom doesn't display anything. I wondered if this was a websocket support issue, because the app works fine locally.
Yes, CloudFloundry supports Websockets, thanks to its gorouter component.
Support is also available on the PWS instance, on wss: port 4443, see official documentation.
Answering my own question, it appears according to https://cloudfoundry.atlassian.net/browse/CF-45, that the answer is no.
Now with latest updates in CFv2 it has a support for websockets (see this line in the code of gorouter, which is responsible for redirecting requests to your apps). I've written a proof-of-concept app in Node.js (for complete example see my answer here) and it is working fine for my local CF deployment, so I expect it would work for other frameworks and languages also.
However it is not yet working on https://console.run.pivotal.io/, as I suppose because they are not updating deployment of CF with each commit. Also there are some issues with IE 10 and Firefox (which might be CF issues), but in Chrome it works as expected.
if its websockets , then I'll suggest you must go for Jelastic , its easy and reliable.
