beneillson Hyper.sh – Effortless Docker Hosting

Feature request: allow volumes to be mounted as read-only via, e.g.:

    hyper run --name mycontainer --volume myvolume:/mnt/point/:ro myimage

My solution for the moment is sending my ssl data to a volume, but having 100KiB in a 10GB (minimum) volume feels ugly.

    tar czf - ssl/ | hyper exec -i 7f0b148b478e bash -c "cd /root && cat - | tar xz"

beneillson Hyper.sh – Effortless Docker Hosting

Do you plan to host a container registry? My use case is wanting to build an image containing SSL server certificates, which I cannot push to, e.g. Docker Hub.

Being able to do `hyper push myimage` would streamline the process.

beneillson Hyper.sh – Effortless Docker Hosting

I'm trying this out by deploying my website (static files generated from Jekyll source and served, all in a Docker image).

I've written the following instructions for updating the site (build new image, push to Docker Hub, pull into hyper.sh, stop previous container, run new one, attach floating IP). Does it seem reasonable?

    HYPER_IP=209.177.92.197
    LATEST_HASH=$(git log -1 --pretty=format:%h)
    IMAGE_NAME=beneills/website:$LATEST_HASH

    docker build -t $IMAGE_NAME .
    docker push $IMAGE_NAME

    hyper pull $IMAGE_NAME
    hyper run -d -p 80 --name website $IMAGE_NAME
    EXISTING_CONTAINER=$(hyper ps --filter name=website --quiet)
    hyper stop $EXISTING_CONTAINER
    hyper rm $EXISTING_CONTAINER
    hyper run --size=s1 -d -p 80 --name website
    beneills/website:2994001
    hyper fip attach $HYPER_IP website

beneillson Quantum: Rust quantum computer simulator

Author here. I started this after seeing the post about a quantum computer simulator in Python[1] and reading up about the theory.

There's still a lot of work to be done, especially adding more gates, but the framework for computation is all there.

Suggestions/feedback welcome.

beneillson Show HN: 5 Minute Resumé of Your GitHub Contributions

Hi - I don't run such a service myself, nor do I know of one. Setting it up this way was far simpler, while remaining accessible to most Github users.

Thanks! Adding other sources would be straightforward. A ranking algorithm only slightly more so.

beneillson Rust in a Week

Just starting learning, and am recording going through the official docs. This is more of a documentation of my experience than a teaching resource.

Feedback on official docs so far: the ?Sized section[1] was difficult to understand as presented

beneillson Ask HN: Why is Facebook indexed in search engine, against robots.txt rules?

Or your user-agent is the same as one. Unless they are whitelisting IPs.

I tested this with: wget --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)" http://www.facebook.com/robots.txt

and diffed, but the results are the same.

So Callum went on to create dotgrid.co, a boutique shop for high quality dot grid note books. 10-months in the works and sales already grew over 1000%.

beneillson Commit to Keep Coding – GitHub + Beeminder

Can we get details about the way this is implemented?

I assume you poll Github on some timescale? I noticed that Beeminder took around 24h to see my commits.
