Hi All,

On our last Quality Dashboard meeting we were looking for a playground 
where we can develop the quality dashboard.
I suggested to use canonistack instance with a private IP for this 
purpose and it seems this approach works and it is not so hard to set it up.

If you are interested in the Dashboard development feel free to follow 
the steps below[1] to see a running django app there (currently it only 
displays "It worked!" -- the default page of empty project).

If you want to know how I created the VM instance, ping me and I can 
provide details. It is actually quite easy :-)

Thanks,

Martin

0. You need shell account on chinstrap.canonical.com. If you don't have
one you will need to ask IS.

1. add the following to your ~/.ssh/config.
Note that you need to change the "$YOUR_CHINSTRAP_LOGIN" to your real 
chinstrap login.
-----snip-----
Host 10.55.60.*
     ProxyCommand ssh $YOUR_CHINSTRAP_LOGIN@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx nc 
-q0 %h %p
-----snip-----

2. ssh -L 8000:10.55.60.168:8000 django@10.55.60.168
password: "django"

The command above will create a tunnel to the private IP via chinstrap. 
One end of the tunel is localhost:8000. The other end is 
10.55.60.168:8000 where django server is running.

3. with your browser go to http://localhost:8000
You should see (that is the django instance running on 10.55.60.168):
-----snip-----
It worked!
Congratulations on your first Django-powered page.
-----snip-----
The server is running in screen so if you do "screen -r" you can
start/stop it (or even add some django code).

Thanks,

Martin
