DroneKit Cloud not found error page - dronekit

The link for the DroneKit Cloud docs takes me to a not found error page. Is this project still active? Or, has it been discontinued?
Thanks!

Dronekit cloud has been discontinued. AFAIK only python and android projects from dronekit are alive with community support. FlytBase is coming up with cloud platform soon.
p.s. I'm one of the developers at FlytBase.

Does the Unity AWS Sdk support standalone or only mobile?

I am looking for a Backend-as-a-Service provider for my standalone game. The AWS Unity Sdk looks very interesting, but it is labeled as "AWS Mobile Sdk." Does this mean that only mobile platforms are supported, or am I missing something?
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Standalone is supported by AWSSDK.
If you search Unity and AWS, most of the information is concerning with the mobile SDK, part of the function like CognitoID is available, but there is special consideration supporting Unity as you can only import DLLs to acess AWSSDK rather than the NugetForUnity. Here is the official document guiding you downloading the DLLs.
And here is my repository which is a demo of Unity directory uploading implemented with AWSS3 bucket.
Thank you for your question.

Detecting PCF version(s)

I have access to our corporate PCF, though both the Apps Manager webpage and the "cf" CLI (and thus the API).
How can I detect what version of PCF they're running? There's nothing in the website that lists it, and the best I can find is using cf api which returns:
api version: 2.98.0
How can I map that to the PCF version, or is there another way to detect it?
Usually via Ops Manager however another quick way is to click on the 'Docs' in Apps Manager it should take you to the documentation of relevant PCF version. For ex: https://docs.pivotal.io/pivotalcf/2-6/pas/intro.html means PCF 2.6
Please be advised that documentation link requires to be updated during upgrades so if someone doesn't do - it will be pointing out to older version..
I don't believe Apps Manager or the API (i.e. Cloud Controller) will report that information. Both are just single parts of the entire system, so I think you could really only expect them to publish their own version information.
If you want to see versions of what is installed, you need to look at Ops Manager. That will show you the tiles that are installed and each version.
If you don't have access to Ops Manager, you'd need to ask your platform operators.
Hope that helps!

Creating Google Cloud Platform Projects without Console page.

I'm trying to create Google Cloud Platform projects without Console web page, because I think about creating multiple projects.
Since I checked the gcloud and it only supports project describe and list for now.
https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/alpha/projects/
Is there a way to create projects without Console web page?
As of June 22 2015, there is no API to manage projects. This is simply not possible currently.
Although this is an old question, just to bring the answer up-to-date, this can now be done with the gcloud projects command line, as described in the following documentation:
https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/projects/

Django project to Azure Cloud Services without Visual Studio

I'm exploring MS Azure, and have a very simple one-app Django project that I'd like to use with Cloud Services, but I can't figure out how to do it.
I've got the Node-based Azure cross-platform CLI tools installed, and I'm trying to figure out the process of creating the necessary infrastructure to stick the Django project on Azure Cloud Services (note: not Azure VM, not Azure Web Sites). The tutorials I've seen use Visual Studio to do this, but I'm on Mac/Linux.
There must be a process how to produce the necessary files (.cspkg, .cscfg etc.) without VS, but I haven't found any tutorials or documentation about it. How do you generate or construct those files, and any other boilerplate, without the use of VS, and what's the process of actually deploying the code to the cloud?
best to use is powershell : you'll need "New-AzureServiceProject", "Add-AzureDjangoWebRole" and in the end you need to package it with Save-AzureServiceProjectPackage, afterwards you can upload it either through the portal or through powershell with the cmdlets New-AzureService and "Publish-AzureServiceProject" hope this helps you?

Glassfish, railo and coldbox - messed up links?

I am new to ColdFusion and ColdBox (and programming). I tried to setup ColdBox but some of the links in the sample applications are broken.
My configuration is a GlassFish v3 installation with the current Railo OSS. I access my site through Apache 2.2.14.
So instead of http://127.0.0.1:8080/railo/ I access my environment trough http://railo/.
In Railo I have a webroot mapping / to C:/webapps/myproject/.
I have copied the current ColdBox 3M4 to C:/webapps/myproject/coldbox. I can access the dashboard through http://railo/coldbox/dashboard/index.cfm and have access to all options.
My problems start the moment I try to open the sample gallery:
HTTP Status 500 -
type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented
it from fulfilling this request.
exception
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\webapps\viss-dev\coldbox\samples
(Zugriff verweigert)
note The full stack traces of the exception and its root causes are
available in the GlassFish v3 logs.
GlassFish v3
OK, no problem, just enter the link directly: http://railo/coldbox/samples/index.cfm.
The site looks plain, who cares - BUT all local links look like this: http://127.0.0.1:8080/coldbox/samples/applications/helloworld/index.cfm (railo is replaced with 127.0.0.1:8080).
Looks like trouble. To make my confusion perfect: when I try to access the login app: http://railo/coldbox/samples/applications/sampleloginapp/index.cfm and hit the submit button, I am redirected to this address: http://railo/railo/coldbox/samples/applications/sampleloginapp/index.cfm.
I believe that this is not really ColdBox-related, but it manifests itself when I try to use ColdBox, so here I am.
P.S.: amazon.de takes too long to ship the ColdBox book :(
Here's a suggestion, The good people at Vivotech have developed a couple of different installers for both Windows/IIS7 and various flavours of Linux for both Railo and Open BlueDragon. The setup installs Tomcat, Railo/Open Blue Dragon and the necessary connectors to the web server. Here's the link: http://www.viviotech.net/company/installers.cfm
I think you'll find using the installers to be a lot easier than working through it yourself. If you want to go that route, Adobe and various bloggers have instructions on how to do it. Matt Woodward has a very good blog posting on it: see MattWoodward.com, He also has a presentation on this, you can see it here.

Since you are new to ColdFusion (and programming in general), I would recommend developing against Adobe ColdFusion. The Developer Edition of ColdFusion is free and available from Adobe.com. You won't need to mess around or configure GlassFish since Adobe ColdFusion comes with a baked-in pre-configured Tomcat, providing both servlet engine and web server.
Just install the 'Stand-alone' version of ColdFusion Developer Edition, copy the ColdBox files into the webroot and in less than 15 minutes you be up and running.
You should also check out ColdFusion Builder which is currently available in beta from http://labs.adobe.com. It has full language support and integrated help content for learning the ins-outs of the language.
As far as the ColdBox book goes, it's available as an eBook if you really can't wait. ;-)
DISCLAIMER: I spend about 50% of my waking life devoted to making ColdFusion better as the CF Product Manager at Adobe. :-)
i have given up on glassfish and i am now struggling with tomcat :D
