I'm pretty happy with https://hatjitsu.toolforge.org/56180, but behind corporate firewall it doesnt work well, so i thought about self-hosting it.
I'm a complete node.js noob, when i cloned it from github and faced https://github.com/richarcher/Hatjitsu/issues/35 i'm completely lost.
I see several options
fiddle out how to fix the issue above (uh..)
find a similar tool (no account, simple voting, vote visualization & average calculation, free, ...) that either works behind firewall or that i can easily self-host
??
Any advice / help is appreciated,

I'm working on a thesis about porting desktop applications to the web. Does anyone know the method or stages in doing the porting? Previously I had searched for some papers on google but it was very difficult. So I tried to ask here maybe someone can help.
in my humble opinion, there are stages / method with their own cases. Maybe if we analyze what they do and find the similiar what the others do, it seem good enough to implement in case desktop to web.
I’m about to launch a classifieds website like gumtree and OLX in South Africa…., but it’s not gonna be as big as Gumtree or OLX obviously. It’s going to operate in one province…planning to expand it over time.
The site works like a charm on my local machine, but I’m concerned coz I’ve never launched a big website before. Plus, I just graduated from University this year – no work experience. But I’m positive that if Facebook and Twitter were built by students, I too can build my own thing and run it successfully.
Are there any key issues to take into consideration before launching a big website ?
There is probably more to consider but I here are a few
Hire a lawyer and get a terms and conditions for your site with proper legality. You dont want to short yourself on this.
Get a decent backup and restore solution that you test and make sure that it works. Remember if you have paying clients with your site there will be implications for down time.
Get a security certificate https://
Know what you paying with your hosting solution. If your traffic does spike you could be in for a very large bill that you cant afford. And if you dont have scaling your site might run really slow. So get to know your hosting solution really well.
Good luck
Morning all.
We have a problem with one of our websites on azure.
It has been running fine but then last night at midnight (exactly midnight) the site started getting HTTP errors and all things went up (requests, cpu time, etc) which is really weird. It is only happening to this site out of the many we have.
I am not sure what is causing it; I am thinking ddos attacks, but I can think of no reason why anyone would target our site.
Here is a screenshot of the monitor board.
Has anyone had experiences like this before? Or may know what is causing it?
There is a very handy tool via the Kudu console for Azure Websites that can help you in figuring out what may be going on with your site. To access it type in a url like this, https://mywebsite.scm.azurewebsites.net/support
You can see live stats for your site. There is also an Analyze tab that you can use to help diagnose issues with your site. Click the Diagnose button and give the tool some time to collect and analyze your logs.
hope that helps.

Ok so ive been tasked with doing "research" on building an intranet for a potential new client for my company and they want some kind of answer by Monday (like any company, they REALLY want this project).
That said, ive been doing "Reasearch" and have so many tabs/windows open that im going nuts and getting lost since my research doesn't have direction...taking in too much and need assistance.
i have 2 questions after a brief explanation.
Essentially, From my understanding, an Intranet is...well in plain
terms, a website that is offline? has a deeper framework because of
the documents that will be available(i think its for a school)and the
ppl who can access them but can also have access to the internet?
Since its for a school(not sure if its mainly for teachers or teachers
and students ) im assuming alot of documents either way.
aside form being private, throughout my research, ive read alot about file security, firewalls, and...and.. im starting to get overwhelmed.
Me myself, am a web designer/so-so developer. decent knowledge of js/jquery and php/mysql though i feel like im just getting started in the web-developer part. Good knowledge of standards HTML/css, designer tools etc...
That said, these are my questions.
1.What is actually involved in planning to create this? What tools( read CMS if possible ) can i use to create any of this. Like to make this happen what do i actually need, and need to know? what direction should i take. If you can direct me and help me close some of these 30+ links spread across my 3 monitors id owe ya lol.
i can build many things and dont mind giving it a HARD go but, this seems like a HUGE project and, im SURE that if my company takes this job, id be put on it. now i can do some of the parts of this project but not 100% sure im the right person for this. Theyre counting on me for a yes/no answer as to whether i can do it (they know its big and itll take time to accomplish) but so...with my skills posted above, am i the right person to do this? or is this more akin to an ACTUAL tried and true developer?
Thank you for your time and, any tips/links/cms info/ i mean ANYTHING that would make this easier PLEASE dont hesitate to share. i dont mind doing the research but i need direction.
i dont want to tell them "YES i can do it" and in a month or two im on pause stuck and the yes turns into a "no i cant do it"
If you have no experience in setting up networks, then you are probably not the man for the job (unless your client is willing to let you have a shot at it for the experience, on a no-win, no-fee basis). Certainly do not over-promise and under-deliver!
I deal with quite a lot of schools, and I know many of the smaller ones will use the secretary's computer as a server, with a simple Windows home network to place files in a shared directory. Its a cheap and cheerful alternative, within their own skillsets to manage.
You should also check with the govermental department with relevant oversight (Dept. of Education, I'd imagine) to see what guidlines, requirements, and grants, are available or required. There may be a specific recommended route to take here, with made to measure firewall protection provided to you.
Larger schools will have invested in proper servers, with automatic external backups in place. I'm not qualified to give advice on how to set those up however. Hopefully someone else here will :)
Best of luck!
CMS may be included as a Intranet website, but Intranet includes much more than CMS. Your best stragetic is tell your boss find a network system integrator to do this project collaboratively. Intranet involves more networking technology (L2, L3, switching, routing, firewall, wireless, etc etc) and physical instrument (ex. cabling).
