Hello,

I am working on a project that could benefit to a lot of us.

I do not want to disclose too much before making sure that it works and that I am ready to open the beta to everyone.

I need a few people with a couple hours of spare time and an idling Linux server with a dedicated IP. It involves installing nodejs and playing a bit with an interface to test if everything works correctly.

Shout me a PM or write on this thread if you are interested in testing a new cool thing.

For the others, don't worry, the presentation post will come soon, once we have validated that the software works as expected.

Ed

  • PM please.

    I suggest you are a bit more open on what your "software" will do once installed when you reply to those PMs.
    I for one have a big problem when people ask me "Hey, can I install this untested software on your server that you are responsible for?".

    Good luck and you who answers, be safe. :)

    If that is the case, why not give proper information tonstart with?

    I meant that someone who wishes to help the OP, can do it safely using Docker.

    No worries, I explain what it is about and provide source link in the MP.

    I will make a proper post tomorrow explaining what the project is about and the link to the source.

    Could have saved all of us time by doing so in the first place.

    I wanted to test with a few users before opening the beta wide open. That's why.

    Docker is a kind of super-lightweight VM - even if the OP's script is malicious, it will not hurt your host system.

    Interesting, I was not aware of this feature. However, I read @mikho's concerns to be more along the lines of responsibility for what the server might be used for (e.g. DDoS-ing, port scanning, spamming, etc.), potentially resulting in server owner's liability. I don't think Docker can help here any ;)

    True. But I think that would be very direct and obvious, especially to this crowd :) A smarter malicious use would be to try to plant a backdoor for (much) later access. That is something that Docker use mitigates.
