Hi. I'm the founder of fluxflex. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but we got an error for installing applications several hours ago. It was already fixed and currently the service works well.

Service demo video is available at http://youtu.be/qm15rItQ-w0

You are right. We changed our frontend from Django+Apache to Rails+Nginx, and we forgot to specify the certificate chain in nginx config file. Now I added the description, and confirmed that we can access to the web site via SSL.

Hmm, it seems weird. We just use zerigo.net as our external DNS nameservers, and it has some relations with this current issue.

I should investigate the problem deeper.

It seems that root of the domain fluxflex.com is redirected to www.fluxflex.com, and fluxflex uses zerigo DNS Redirect to do it. That's the problem.

For avoiding the error, please access to www.fluxflex.com, not fluxflex.com. We'll fix this issue soon.

Thanks for your advice. I think chnaging load balancers to 64-bit instances is the first thing I should do. And also I heard several times about the performance of ELB, so we will change our architecture to some alternatives.

I don't think so. But if you think so, just pay $1/month to support us! Thanks in advance!

We are based on Amazon Web Services (ELB + EC2 + nginx + powerdns + apache + FastCGI). I admit the current response time is very slow, but our team members make a lot of effort to improve it.

It may be the different issue, but some node hackers may disagree to use Node.js with Apache + FastCGI. However, it is our challenge to make the node technology available not only to geeks but also to light users who will take advantage of server side javascript.

We'll improve the performance and I welcome any advices!

Hi Andrian. We bring the power of social coding (GitHub) into a cloud hosting platform (fluxflex), and I believe the multi-language support is critical point to achive it. Taking advantage of social knowledge and cllaboratoin with other developers will reduce initial learning curves for trying new technologies, and will amplify the joyful energy instead. Our goal is to let the web application development faster, easier and more amusing.

Now you can install various popular applications with one-click. These applicatoins include Rails, Node.js, Coffee script, Django, Catalyst, Mojolicious, Lokka, Haskell and so on. Because we use GitHub on its backend, you can access to the source code easily, and fork it to start developing your original applications.

On ther other hand, if you have an existing repository on GitHub, you can automate the deployment process by specifying the reposity in a form on fluxflex.

As the result of these collaborations, I believe web applications development will become more pleasant.

You can write a configuration file named .flx and we will run commands according to the description in it. "Lokka on fluxflex" is a greate example for understanding how the configuration and the deployment work on fluxflex. You can read the source code at https://github.com/sowawa/lokka.

Various one-click install applications are hosted on GitHub, and you can fork, merge and push on GitHub as well as just install the application on fluxflex.

It's fixed. Thanks for the report. :)

Thnaks for your comment.

At first, we are in the process of refine the phrases on the Web with some native English speakers, and will clarify the description soon.

Second, we just use GB instead of MB because we will increase the free quota in future. Current quota is for temporal use to avoid paying too much unexpected infrastructure cost.

Thanks for your advice.

I'm the founder of fluxflex, and am willing to answer any questions. Fluxflex now supports PHP, Python, Ruby, Perl, Node.js and Haskell. We'll support additional languages in near future.
