Mock/Simulate ADFS for Dev Environment on Linux (or where windows server is not available) - adfs

I am working on a Project to connect Django to ADSF. Based on Online Documentation it seems ADSF is a Windows Server ONLY feature.
Can ASDF be installed on Linux Environment?
IF connection to Windows Server is not available in Dev Environment, is it possible to get some kind of mock server or simulator to test out code (connecting app to ADFS) during Development Stage/.

Yes - Windows Server only.
No - won't run on Linux.
You could have a look at EmbeddedSTS as long as you are happy using WS Fed.

Is it possible to ask for a Linux server when creating a Web App on Azure?

I've created an ASP.NET Core application on my Ubuntu machine. When I host it on an Azure Web App I noticed it was running on a Windows Server. Is it possible to host it on a Linux server instead?
You now can, without the need of a virtual machine or Docker image.
Create a web app with App Service on Linux.
See: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-linux-how-to-create-a-web-app/
That is not possible at the moment, ran at the same problem last week while migrating some stuff from AWS. In order to keep running my apps in a Unix environment, I had to resort to Azure Container Service, but it in turn forced me to (learn and) run DC/OS.
Azure Web App is using Windows Server as operating system. You can always get our own computing machine, with Linux (Ubuntu or something else) and deploy whatever you need on it.

Need help Porting windows service (asmx) from windows server to Linux (mono)

I am trying to port small part of my application ( activation server) a windows service (asmx) from Windows VPS to Linux platform
After searching on internet and reading in many post, i have decided to hack my way using Mono-Project
I was able to find the tutorial on how to run aspx files and other things on different posts..but i am not able to find any documentation on how to run or Port my already developed and running service from Windows server (ISS+ASMX+MSSQL) to Linux ( Ubuntu 14.04 + mono + Apache + MySQL)
can some one share their view on best-way-to-acheive the task or some documentation links somewhere
Also , i would like your opinion on whether i should stick with my decision to go on with Mono or i should consider other framework
Thanks,

How to deploy a .NET web application in Mono hosted on a Linux Server?

We have a web application we've been writing in VB.NET. We want to get that running within a Linux server, specifically CentOS. I installed Mono version 4.0.1 on the server, as well as xsp and mod_mono. I'm not sure however, how to properly configure the setup to get the application running. We have several .aspx and .dll files. Do I just FTP them over to the server? I think we would need some wrapper executable script to get the application going, since all the websites I have been looking at state that, but I'm not sure how that works for a web application.
If you are using Visual Studio, you should use FTP to deploy your asp.net applications into GNU Linux environment. The IDE would take care of what files has to be deployed in order to get your asp.net application working.
But if you are using MonoDevelop you could use SSH Fuse. Here you have a Getting Started guide about working and deploying ASP.NET apps from MonoDevelop to an Linux environment:
http://www.monodevelop.com/documentation/creating-aspnet-projects/
If you don't have experience with FUSE, don't worry I get this for you
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-sshfs-to-mount-remote-file-systems-over-ssh
That's all. You don't need a wrapper as you mentioned before, it is pretty much like and an standard IIS site. Quite easy right? It has to work always that your application and its dependencies are compatible with mono, and indeed with apache or xsp configured correctly.
Cheers!

Can RStudio (IDE NOT server) be configured to use remote R setup?

I am transitioning my debian setup into one where all debian-repository external apps run in dedicated docker containers.
In this context rstudio, of which I am a heavy user, has me puzzled ... does anybody have insight into whether it's possible to run it as a client to remote R installation?
What is a very cool feature of RStudio is RStudio Server. You install RStudio Server on you Ubuntu server and log in to a specific port where RStudio Server is running. You then get your full RStudio interface in your web browser. This allows you to run all your R analyses from any computer that has a modern browser and an internet connection.
R then runs on the remote server, asking almost no resource from the computer you are connecting from.

Deploying asp.net application on windows server

I want to now what is the easiest way to deploy asp.net site to a windows server? Normally we do by uploading files through FTP client.
But as we can checkout repository on linux server and just running "svn up" command though SSH deploys the latest changes, is there any similar way on windows?
Thanks
Web deployment tool is what I use. It can be automated from the command line, and MSBuild can be used to generate deployment packages if you use a CI server. On the simplest level though it supports 1 click deploy from the toolbar in Visual Studio (probably only recommended to development servers).
You can do nearly the same thing on Windows.
Use Remote Desktop Connection to
access the server (this is the
windows counterpart of SSH)
Run "svn
up"
An SVN client doesn't ship with Windows, but the client ports from SilkSVN and CollabNet work just as well as any other.
