How can I access camunda modeler in a docker container? - dockerfile

I need to access camunda modeler (desktop version) inside a container. The platform image provided by camunda on docker hub doesnt have the modeler.
I tried creating an image of the desktop camunda modeler but it didnt build

Running GUI applications in a container is rather uncommon. I would explore the alternatives below. However, if you are absolutely determined that this is what you need to do, I would look at articles like https://www.howtogeek.com/devops/how-to-run-gui-applications-in-a-docker-container/.
Camunda 8.1 self managed modeler beta (for another 2 month enterprise only) is availbe as docker compose https://docs.camunda.io/docs/next/self-managed/modeler/web-modeler/installation/
Camunda 8.2 self managed modeler (to be released second Tue of April)
Camunda SaaS free trial or professional tier https://accounts.cloud.camunda.io/signup
use bpmni.io online or embedded in your own application https://demo.bpmn.io/
Hope one of those options does the trick for you.

How to launch windows machine with Microsoft Edge browser in Cloud

Need to launch windows machine with Microsoft Edge browser in the cloud.
You should be able to do create a Windows 10 VM in most cloud, like Azure or AWS. You also have the option to do create virtual desktops. If sounds like you want to do browser testing, if that is the case, then I would encourage you to consider something like https://www.browserstack.com/.
If this doesn't answer you question, can you please add additional details.

C++ in the cloud. Casablanca REST Service on Microsoft Azure

Hello fellow Azure users. I have created quite an extensive C++ REST service using the CasaBlanca REST SDK. When I began working on this project I as lead to believe that I could run it in the Cloud (Azure) . Please explain how best I can get this service to run on Microsoft Azure. I can't afford to re-program the entire project in another language like C# or Java. Thanks in advance!
If you're wondering why I believed CasaBlanca was meant for the Cloud:

Looking at the TechEd video I can see that they are using the SpeechService demo which you can find the source of here: https://hg.codeplex.com/microsoftcasablanca so you can understand how they performed the deployment to Azure.
Looking at the code I can see the solution is designed to be deployed to a Cloud Service Worker Role and includes a "Cloud Service" project in the Visual Studio solution - this is the project type which gives the "Deploy To Cloud" option which you see in the video.
Given that the demo is from 2012 there will have been many Azure SDK releases since then so the demo code may require an update, but the deployment method from Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 remains essentially unchanged.
Regardless how you're using casablanca, c++ applications can be run on Virtual Machines, web/worker role (stateless) VMs in cloud services, probably websites... Choosing between these is a matter of opinion (or at least dependent on the app you're building), and there's no single right answer.

Customizing micro cloud foundry?

I am trying to create a stand alone companion to a customized cloud foundry deployment that has some additional services enabled in it, in the same way that micro cloud foundry is a companion to cloudfoundry.com. I've blogged a longer description of my work to date for context but the short question is this:
Is there micro-cf-release available which can be extended and used to create a customized micro cloud foundry? With the release train happening now, this must be somewhere, along with a process and tooling for creating the VM. Is this in the opensource somewhere?
The capistrano script that builds the releases is:
https://github.com/cloudfoundry/micro/blob/master/build/build.cap
This workflow is experimental, but it should be possible to use a subset of the build task in the script and customize cf-release before building from it.

Looking for a .NET BuildServer SaaS

I've a question regarding Build Servers for .NET Projects. Currently I'm using TeamBuild in conjunction w/ TFS 2010 to do automated builds in the .NET world. Some older projects are built using plain old MSBuild scripts.
To get rid of the administrative effort I'm currently moving my sources to github. Github offers, as many other sites service hooks to trigger build servers for doing automated builds such as CI or nightly builds.
Sure I could use TeamCity OnPremise and dynamically create Build Agents in Windows Azure using VMRole and Virtual Disks, but I think this hybrid solution is a little bit moronic.
So what are your thoughts about the following architectural idea?
Let's say you're using github as source control platform. When commiting sources to your repository an Azure WebRole hosting a WCF Service will be triggered.
The WebRole itself will just use the Azure API to fire up a new instance of a custom Azure VMRole.
The Azure VMRole itself will use some kind of buildscript such as Rake or MSBuild to have as few developer tools installed on the build agent as needed. After building the entire project the artifacts will be published to Azure BlobStorage and the WebRole hosting the WCF service will be called again, but right now the Azure WebRole is going to terminate the BuildAgent.
While using such a setup you could minimize the costs for the build agent and build nearly any kind of project as far as you're able to install the required element for the build by using PowerShell.
So in bottom line: what are your thoughts on this architecture? Other Ideas? Is there an existing service offering such a solution?

have you looked at https://appharbor.com ? I know a number of people who are using it to do exactly what you are doing.
Check out Team Foundation Service as it can do the following:
Continuous Delivery to Azure
Deploy to production on Windows Azure with two clicks from Visual Studio, or automatically as part of your build process.
Just found this one http://www.appveyor.com/ AppVeyor is also free for OpenSource projects.

Webservices to monitor Windows Azure

Does anybody of you know if there are any Webservices (or other interfaces) to monitor an, for example ASP.NET application, which is hosted within Windows Azure from a NON .NET environment?
If you're talking about monitoring things like performance counters and diagnostics (logging), those may be accessed from any language, as that information is ultimately stored in table Storage (you need to just set it up in your Windows Azure app as it starts up). Storage is accessed via a REST interface. Additionally, there are SDKs for PHP and Java to facilitate this. There are a few additional open source project I've seen as well - for instance, Ruby.
For a desktop monitoring tool, check out Cerebrata's Azure Diagnostics Manager.
Note: the Management API is also REST-based, so you can control deployments from other languages as well (e.g. scaling instances up/down, stopping/deleting a deployment, creating a new service, etc.). You'll see that the PHP SDK already wraps most of the Management API. See here for detailed API documentation.
Dirk, it depends on what you're trying to monitor. There are many partner products like AzureWatch from Paraleap that can monitor applications in Windows Azure, or you could always write an application yourself to monitor your Windows Azure application using the Windows Azure APIs (try AzureMonitor on CodePlex] as a start). You can find out more information about Monitoring on MSDN and the Windows Azure Managed Library Reference.
