nodejitsu / node-cloudservers Goto Github PK

I'm having numerous issues trying to setup a node.js development environment on Windows/Cygwin.

Instead of using Windows, is it a good idea to just use Cloud9ide? (http://www.cloud9ide.com)

They allow you to use npm right out of the box. So, I could just npm install cloudservers.... and continue from that point without the Windows setup headache.

If that works, I think it could really simplify the node hosting setup process for command line/node beginners like myself. Been trying for 2 months to get a good setup.

Ohai guys,

I need this option especially WRT to this call: cloudservers.getServers(true, function(){}). The default cache-control settings for Rackspace calls are 30 minutes - this hurts when I'm spawning servers via script and need IPs on completion... I don't want to wait.

Rackspace's official suggestion is to use dummy get parameters to do cache-busting: http://docs.rackspace.com/servers/api/v1.0/cs-devguide/content/Caching-d1e921.html

Rather than do cache busting on EVERY call, I suggest a flag/variable/option on a per-call basis - anything as long as it works.

I'd do a pull request but IDK if you want to change your request procedures based on what Eran talked about earlier this week. LMK.

Thanks,
Van

do we get the ssh password for a spawned server?

do we get to assign the password for a new server?

thanks!

Took me a while to figure it out!

I was following the docs and the docs seem to show that all you have to do is create a client via cloudservers.createClient. Turns out that doesn't do the auth but just store the auth info in this.config.

cloudservers @ 0.2.6
-- request @ 1.9.9

I am able to getFlavors and getImages, however when I call createServer or getServers the server and servers variables respectively are both null. I know createServer works because my server is created, but the callback receives a null variable.

the following code works:

client.getFlavors( function( err, flavors ) {
  // Dump the flavors we have just received
  console.log( util.inspect( flavors, true, null ) );
});

the following code returns servers = null:

client.getServers( true, function( servers ) {
  console.log( util.inspect( servers, true, null ) );
});

the following code creates a server but returns server = null:

client.createServer( options, function( server ) {
  console.log( util.inspect( server, true, null ) );
});

It seems there is no version yet in the NPM registry that contains this fix: 7683bcd

Can we get a 0.2.9 or 0.2.10 into npm for this fix, please?

Just installed node-cloudservers via npm today. So far, I haven't been able to use any of the client functions to create a server on Rackspace. All return an err of either ECONNREFUSED (when I'm at work) or ENOTFOUND (when I'm at home). I'm using Mac OS Snow Leopard, and I found a similar issue reported a year ago related to the use of /etc/resolv.conf for dns lookup resolution. Other functions (npm, curl, etc.) appear to work fine. Is there something I'm missing?

After install node.js, I attempted to install cloudservers as per your instructions. I get an error printed below. It seems to be invalid json error.
