“Groovy Motherfucker”

Filed under 'vpslink'

➠ October 4, 2009

You’re not going to care about any of this…

… but I’ve spent a Saturday night working on this stuff, so I’m going to share.

I’ve spent the evening getting groovymother.com up and running on a new VPS box from VPSLink.

Of potential interest to other nerds is the fact that the whole shebang is now running Apache-free. The Django app that powers the site runs under the coroutine-tastic Spawning. In front of that, and serving static files, is the still-sexy nginx.

The Spawning processes are started and managed by Supervisor, which also takes care of running and monitoring the jobs that pull in feeds and grab screenshots.

All in all, a tremendously productive, if really rather sad, Saturday night.

VPSLink Promotion: 10% Lifetime Discount Coupon

Unsolicited testimonial: VPSLink, the virtual machine hosting service that I use to host this here very blog, has a 10% off the lifetime of your service if you sign up this month (I’m guessing their fiscal year begins April 1st!). I’ve had no problems with my service from them over the last six months, and have just purchased a second “server” to host my email and suchlike. If you want root on a remote box, this is a pretty good deal.
