[Glass] GLASS appliance (VMWare virtual machine) still available?

[Dale K. Henrichs]

Norbert, 

I was just going to send an email to you that I am interested in your project:) As I've mentioned elsewhere, I am caught up in internal development and tODE work at the moment, but I want to make room on my stack for working with you on this ... I am not an expert in this area, but I definitely see the value in having an appliance ....

| Quite interesting that there wasn’t any reply to this mail. So there
| is no interest in having an up-to-date appliance?

| | I like to remember that there is still my virtual-gemstone [1]
| | project. At the moment it builds on virtualbox but as your
| | relationship to vmware is less tight these days :) that shouldn’t
| | be
| | a problem.
| 

| | So what it does basically is:
| 

| | - It uses a project called veewee [2] to boostrap a virtual machine
| | from a description file. Meaning you specify in a text file the
| | memory size, disk, size and operation system and veewee builds the
| | virtual machine and installs the basic OS
| 
| | - veewee also installs chef [3] at the end
| 
| | - this basic installation box is handed over to a tool called
| | vagrant
| | [4]
| 
| | - vagrant configures the box copies recipes for chef in the box and
| | runs chef
| 
| | - chef recipes install system packages, download gemstone, install
| | gemstone, install seaside in gemstone, etc.
| 

| | So you can go from nothing but a couple of text files to a ready
| | installed virtual appliance having gemstone installed and running.
| | The deal with chef is even in a way that you can overlay the
| | virtual-gemstone recipes with your own to build a machine that is
| | tight to your needs. The real magic goes where you can exchange the
| | operating system beneath just by changing one text file and run the
| | whole stuff again.
| 

| | If you are interested in keeping the project up and running I would
| | welcome this. If there is a greater interest I might find the time
| | to maintain it to a certain extent.

| | | It was too much work to maintain the appliance ... we never got
| | | to
| | | the point of completely automating the building of the
| | | appliance...
| | 
| 

| | | I recommend that you use the installGemStone.sh script[1]. You
| | | supply
| | | the GemStone version number as an argument and the script does
| | | the
| | | rest, installing GemStone in /opt/gemstone. Then you follow the
| | | starting gemstone instructions[2]... This script works on all
| | | supported platforms and installs GemStone in a predictable
| | | manner.

| | | | Hi--
| | 
| 
| | | |
| | 
| 
| | | | As I recall, there used to be a "GLASS appliance" available, a
| | 
| 
| | | | VMWare virtual machine that had GLASS already installed and
| | 
| 
| | | | self-contained. Is that still around online somewhere?
| | 
| 
| | | |
| | 
| 
| | | |
| | 
| 
| | | | thanks!
