When you install Python packages with pip, it looks up the corresponding package on the https://pypi.python.org/simple/ index by default, then downloads and installs it. But in an intranet environment, or when you need to publish some private packages to designated users, you have to build your own PyPI Server. This post mainly records the process of building a PyPI Server index with the devpi tool, along with some commonly used commands.

Internet services often depend on tens of thousands of hosts, and those hosts are deployed all over the world, on top of a tangled mess of user environments. To keep a service stable and reliable, you need to monitor it. The goals of monitoring can be considered from several angles: from the system dimension, understand CPU, memory, and disk usage; from the network monitoring dimension, understand upstream and downstream rates; from the service monitoring dimension, understand the health and availability of the application.

This article gives a brief introduction to the ELK stack and provides a Docker compose orchestration configuration. After reading it, you can get ELK running locally with Docker. A later article will cover deploying ELK on servers and adding the related configuration. 1. Introduction to the ELK Stack ELK is not actually a single piece of software but a whole solution — an acronym formed from the initials of three software products: Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana.

1. Introduction to Hexo Hexo is a concise, efficient, open-source static blog generator built with Node.js. Hexo can render Markdown into static HTML files extremely quickly. Like Jekyll, Ghost, and Octopress, it can be used to create a blog. Hexo has the following advantages: It uses Node.js, so setting up the environment is simple.

Docker solves the problem of environment isolation on the same machine and improves the efficiency of operations and deployment. Vagrant gives developers a unified, near-fully-isolated environment for development and testing. This article mainly discusses how to build a Django development environment with Vagrant. Versions: VirtualBox 5.0, Vagrant 1.8. 1. Basic
