I just found Boxfuse. It is a really interesting solution for dev and shipping applications. There is one point that botheres me. Can I run boxfuse images on a self hosted solution with kvm or something like that?
Thanks for ur help.
No, currently Boxfuse supports VirtualBox / Hyper-V (dev) and AWS (test & prod).

Does any one know how to install NebulaGraph on my Mac book?
I searched their docs but found only ways to install on Linux hosts.
NebulaGraph's core part assumed it's running on Linux distros only for now.
But we could leverage virtualization tooling in macOS to do so.
Options are like
Deploy in VMs with different hypervisors like (virtualbox, vmware player lima etc.)
Leverage Docker Desktop(or equivalent things like rancher desktop, then deploy it with Nebula-Docker-Compose, following this doc
note, the link for the doc is versioned(now, 3.3.0), for future ones who visit this, please choose the latest version in the documentation version drop-down menu.
I was using Laragon on Windows for Laravel development. I recently switched to Ubuntu and I cannot use Laragon. I love how lightweight laragon is compared to xampp. Does anyone have an alternative dev environment for Laravel/PHP development using Ubuntu?
Thank you.
Sadly there is no lightwight, simple and easy as Laragon version to Linux environment. The most you can use is Docker but is not easy, nor simple.
I just installed what i need for Laravel and work with it in my Linux Mint laptop.
I realize this is an old question, however for anyone else who comes here looking for a linux alternative to Laragon, there is a linux derivative of valet.
If you aren't familiar with valet, in the past it has been exclusive to Mac. It works really well. After simple configuration, any project in your designated directory can be accessed through the browser by navigating to projectFolderName.test. It is that simple.

You can use Lando.
Easy
One click installer, cross-platform, simple config file, sane defaults and reduced complexity for power features
Powerful
A single dev tool for all your projects. Lock down services, tools, dependencies and automation on a per-repo basis
Liberating
Free yourself from the mind-forged manacles of lesser dev tools. Save time, headaches, frustration and do more real work
I'm looking into using the new Realm Mobile Platform for a project of mine. I've gone through the guides and was able to get it up and running locally no problem. My question is, what's the best way to deploy the Realm Object Server so it can be run remotely? I read through the guide found here but didn't really understand it. I only have minimal experience deploying a rails app to heroku. How can I get it deployed to Heroku or a similar service? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
It's hard to tell you what the "best" way is. There are always drawbacks and benefits to any setup, and everyone has different goals and objectives, so I don't think there is an objective "best way to run it," as you say.
The Realm Object Server doesn't support Heroku for the time being (or at least, no easy one-click-install integration). We know that this is something that people want, so it's on our radar, but I can't give you a definite answer as to when or even if we will do this one day.
The way most people run the Object Server is by running a virtual machine, and running the service inside of that. There are multiple ways to achieve this: start a virtual machine with your favourite cloud provider, and then install the Realm Object Server on top of that. Alternatively, Realm also provides an AMI image, which is Amazon lingo for "a pre-configured virtual machine image," that contains the Object Server pre-installed, and allows you to run your Object Server at the click of a button.
Please bear in mind that Realm Object Server is currently packaged for RHEL/CentOS 6 & 7, and Ubuntu 16.04.
Here are some links that should help you get started:
A basic tutorial on how to setup Ubuntu 16.04 on Digital Ocean
AWS' documentation on launching an EC2 instance from an AMI
Try this image to run realm-objserct server on openshift online.

I want to understand what magic can OpenContrail do as Software Defined Networking and I am new to this OpenContrail Concept and VMs, etc. To understand this, I just want to install OpenContrail on my Ubuntu VM. I tried to follow this Official quick Start Guide. But. It looks It installs OpenStack Components also when I invoke fabric Scripts.
Is it mandatory to use OpenStack to understand the magic of OpenContrail.? If Yes, Why is it so.?
Thanks,
Ganesh
You can try to use a simpler set of instructions and use docker containers:
http://www.opencontrail.org/docker-with-opencontrail/
There is also work going on in order to be able to provision opencontrail with kubernetes as a cluster management system. Reach out in the #opencontrail channel on freenode.net if you want to try one of these options.
Is there any way to install OpenStack without using virtual box in a single machine?
You can install all openstack services(controller, compute, network) in a single node. But it's not recommended.
If you don't want to install virtualbox you can try VMware
You may also try LXC or XEN if you are using linux. Then create 3 virtual machines and install openstack 3 node configuration.
Yes, of course. Just make sure you have enough resources on the system (single machine) to bare OpenStack. You may use packstack do the All-in-One
deployment. Check out RDO.
There is a possibility of installing openstack(both 2 and 3 node architectures) in a single system. But, things are to be considered. Like the performance of the system used, the primary memory associated with it, the secondary memory that is available, e.t.c
If you're talking about development environment, sure! You don't need a VM at all, and can just install it on your laptop directly! Note that this is not a desirable configuration :)
Other ways are to use a different virtualization tool than VirtualBox, like KVM, or VMware stuff.
Virtual machine is nothing but a system with shared resources. Whatever we do on a VM can be replicated to an individual system.
Make sure you have VT enabled on the hardware , else you may have issues in creating instance on the Compute node.

Whatever you can install in single virtual machine , can also be installed on your machine directly.
After all your machine is much more powerful and stable than your virtual machine.
We use virtual machine just to leave our system intact in case something goes wrong. Just compare the time it would take you to delete and create another virtual machine with time and effort for formatting your entire laptop.
Also, we sometimes use virtual machine if we need to make a network of 2-3 computers for some functionality and we have got only one hardware.
I created with kvm virtual machünes on Ubuntu 14.04
If you create the virtual machines and the virtual networks you can use it.
For the easiest way if you use an orchestration/deployment tool e.g. Mirantis Fuel
Surprising no body talked about Dockers. You can run openstack in a docker container.
According to my experience, always try to install openstack on a fresh system( either on a freshly created VM or on a newly installed OS). I have installed openstack many times, and trust me no error will come just follow this link on a newly setup machine. For old system, I was stuck for 3 days, and only GOD knows where from the hell those errors were showing up.
PS: I have always tried ubuntu system.
