Extensible Scalable Coopetitive High Availability Trade Optimization Network: ESCHATON

I am the Eschaton; I am not your God.

I am descended from you, and exist in your future.

Thou shalt not violate causality within my historic light cone. Or else.

Docker Cheat Sheet

NOTE: 534 stars, 106 forks. I love you all. Please contribute tips and edits back to this cheat sheet -- email's will.sargent@gmail.com and you can treat gists like git repositories and send git diffs.

This is my recommended path for learning Haskell.

Something to keep in mind: don't sweat the stuff you don't understand immediately. Just keep moving.

Primary course

Installing Haskell

Ubuntu PPA

Frontend Development

Attention: if you attempt to fork this gist, github will think that you are a spammer and you will have to confirm that you are human with them. Apparantly there are too many links in this list. Also I update it rather frequently (see revisions on the left), so it's probably wise to not fork it anyway.

	# First run:
	apt-get install apt-cacher python-vm-builder
	vi /etc/default/apt-cacher # ensure autostart is enabled
	sudo service apt-cacher start

	## The Problem

	Standard practices say no non-root process gets to talk to the Internet on a port less than 1024. How, then, could I get Node talking on port 80 on EC2? (I wanted it to go as fast as possible and use the smallest possible share of my teeny tiny little micro-instance's resources, so proxying through nginx or Apache seemed suboptimal.)

	## The temptingly easy but ultimately wrong solution:

	Alter the port the script talks to from 8000 to 80:

	}).listen(80);

	require 'rubygems'
	require 'mechanize'

	FIRST_NAME = 'FIRST_NAME'
	LAST_NAME = 'LAST_NAME'
	PHONE = 'PHONE'
	EMAIL = 'EMAIL@provider.com'

	PARTY_SIZE = 2
	SCHEDULE_RANGE = { :start_time => '19:00', :end_time => '20:30' }

	# to generate your dhparam.pem file, run in the terminal
	openssl dhparam -out /etc/nginx/ssl/dhparam.pem 2048
