Shinyproxy is taking over 30 seconds to start an application - r

R-shiny Application loads pretty quickly if run locally but seems to take an inordinate amount of time to load when run through shinyproxy. I have tried tweaking the heartbeat and load-wait times, and springboot although slow doesn't seem to account for all the delay, I'm running centos7 with the latest shinyproxy rpm install. Docker has been configured correctly (the containers do start eventually).
The shiny logs don't give much detail other than starting docker and proxy enabled.
Has anyone come across an issue similar to this before? Is this normal?

I think it is normal due that shinyproxy needs to start a docker service for every user that log on your app.

Hip hop error log showing syntax errors and deployment process getting stuck on doing hot deployment parallely (allAtATime) via AWS Codedeploy

We tried this POC to deploy code via AWS Code deploy on 20 live servers, which are behind Load balancer. We are having nginx running in front of Hiphop. We tried hot deployment, i.e. deploying while nginx was running.
As soon as the deployment process moves the new file to the designated place in the production servers, we start getting the following errors, which continues indefinitely on some servers, and the Jenkins jobs times out after polling for 50 minutes -
\nFatal error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /path/to/file.php on line 19477
It appears like only a part of the file gets loaded and read, even though the file in its entirety has no syntax errors.
Restarting nginx on such servers manually fixes the problem, but that does not seem to be a good solution.
We are trying to find out the reason behind this issue.
HHVM version being used - HipHop VM 3.12.0-dev (rel)
Nginx version - 1.8.0
Alternative approach
We are now trying to do cold deployment (shut down nginx then do deployment and then turn on nginx again), but that too is throwing its own issues. I will not post those details here, but the idea is to take the advantage of the large number of servers we have, and do cold deployment in such a way that only a small percentage of the servers behind LB have nginx off at a time, so that it does not cause too much load on the running servers.
CodeDeploy will indeed replace files during a deployment. I recommend you try your approach of doing a cold deployment in which you fully shut down before deploying and startup again after it's done.

Meteor killed by ubuntu while trying to "run Meteor" on a server

My goal is to follow "Deploying a Meteor app with Nginx from scratch" tutorial available here
After installing Meteor, Node, Forever and Git, do the npm install, I try to "run meteor" to see if it works.
After downloading meteor-tools, the process begins to extract meteor-tools... looks like it is hanging for a couple minutes and then stops without any warning.
So my guess is that something causes the extraction to quit, but i don't know what exactly.
Yes, Meteor likes plenty of RAM. I would recommend using Phusion Passenger with nginx for Meteor, it's very easy to set up, and their tutorials/getting started is very good:
https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/install/nginx/install/oss/
I haven't found the exact reason. However, I got it working. I was using a DigitalOcean server (512Mb/20G). I tried with a big server (16G/160G) and it works.
So I guess my server Ram OR Disk capacity was too small.
Edit:
setting up smaller configuration, i noticed that the minimum for Meteor to work is: 2Gb of RAM and 40Gb Disk.

Slow meteor build performance in docker container

The build of a meteor project takes a long time if performed in a docker image (> 30 min) but if done on a local machine ore directly on the server without docker everything works fine (2-10 min).
After some research I still do not know how to tackle this issue. Can anyone provide me with further instruction how to debug my docker? The performance seems really bad.
What should be the minimum server hardware to get a quick build time? The project itself is not large.

Meteor page reload extremely slow?

I'm running Meteor in a VirtualBox Ubuntu machine and accessing it via my windows computer.
Refreshing the browser on my small meteor site takes 15 seconds. It's making 238 total requests which each take a bit of time and add up to my incredibly slow reload.
Are there any steps I can take to diagnose where the problem is? Shouldn't Meteor be bundling all these JS files and templates to make less requests?
Any help at all would be appreciated.
Try launching Meteor in "production" mode (this will bundle all the files) in your VirtualBox.
meteor --production
Ok I figured it out. Turns out, the issue wasn't with Meteor at all. The bridged adapter on my Ubuntu Server VM was incredibly slow. Once I switched to a Virtio NAT adapter and set up my port forwards, my site went from ~16 second to ~2.5 second refreshes.

java.net.BindException: No free port within range in Glassfish 3.1

Today I have deployed an app to our production application server GlassfishV3 through Jenkins CI to the autodeploy folder. The app server went down, and I cannot bring it back up.
My goal is to have the server up and running the same as prior to deploying the application. This is what I have done:
First find the PID of the process running at port 4848: nestat -nlept
Then kill the PID by doing kill -9 PID
Remove the war file that Jenkinks just put in the autodeploy directory just in case if that is the problem.
Start the server again by doing ./asadmin start-domain domain1
The server takes FOREVER to start !!! In fact it never starts successfully as I cannot access the admin console at 4848 or any of the other apps that were already running. However, it leaves a process running at 4848.
I looked at the jvm.log and server.log and I found a java.net.BindException:No free port within range.........
So my questions are as follows:
Do you know what is going on?
Do you know how to fix it?
Do you know of a way to speed up the ./asadmin start-domain domain1 process?
Note: In our QA app server (Same version, same OS, Same Java, Same Grails) it does not happen. Really frustrated with this issue.
Thanks a lot for your help. Any help would be very much appreciated as this is a production issue that has several applications down for a few hours already.

I can deploy my application now, basically it boiled down to increasing the MaxPermSize jvm option
Under the config folder, edit domain.xml and change the default size to this:
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
You can always increase it as necessary.
Also, if that is not enough you can also change the max heap size in that same file
-Xmx512m . I have left it as is but if required you can change that to 6g or more on a 64 bit OS. On a 32 bit OS it will only recognize up to 3.5g.
Hope this helps somebody else in the future, as this issue kept me at work until 9:00PM
UPDATE:
I had peformance issues again and I found this other solution in Joshi's tech blog:
http://joshitech.blogspot.com/2009/09/glassfish-application-server.html
Basically add the following jvm options in the domain.xml. It should increase Glassfish boot up and deployment performance:
<jvm-options>-server</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-Xms3000m</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-Xmx3000m</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-XX:MaxPermSize=192m</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-XX:NewRatio=2</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-XX:+AggressiveHeap</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-XX:+AggressiveOpts</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-XX:+UseParallelGC</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-XX:+UseParallelOldGC</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-XX:ParallelGCThreads=5</jvm-options>
