Installing HiveMind on a Digital Ocean droplet as a cloud IDE

Digital Oceon is the hot cloud hosting provider that makes setting up a cloud box a breeze.

Well it gets even easier when you throw HiveMind into the mix. HiveMind gives you a one-box hassle-free web app solution.

Assuming you are using a Ubuntu droplet (why would you be using anything else?:)), on the command line do the following:


  1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
  2. sudo apt-get update
  3. sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
  4. cd /home
  5. wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/crudzilla/hivemind.zip
  6. sudo apt-get install unzip
  7. unzip hivemind.zip
  8. cd hivemind/bin
  9. ./jetty.sh start
  10. goto: http://your-digitalocean-ipaddress:7000
  11. login with: developer/developer

You now have a ready to use web app platform that supports a bunch of languages, you can create new web apps as you need to.

Once you are logged in, you can change the login by going to System menu on the upper right and selecting Manage Users.

    When i do "./jetty.sh start" i get this output: "Starting Jetty: FAILED Mon Apr 28 22:28:37 EDT 2014"

    but when i do "./jetty.sh run" it works

    what is the difference between the commands "Start" and "Run" ?
    and why does the command "Start" not work ?

      That's Interesting... ./jetty.sh start is what we use and it works...if you look at the jetty.sh script the run option is available but it appears to serve the same purpose as start...both works on our systems.


      I'll post a message to the Jetty mailing list to find out if there's a difference.

      What OS and version are running on?

      Also please post follow-up questions to our Google user group:

Where do we go from here? Some thoughts and speculation.

A lot of technologist are rightfully fretting about what the future holds for tech careers, especially in software developer roles. Perhaps it is time to think less about what tab-tab-go programming would mean for the future of developer roles and rather how those existing skill-sets could be leveraged in an AI world. There is tremendous potential in reorienting technologists from a focus on churning out the next app from an IDE and towards thinking in a more holistic manner about how to leverage what already has been built out both in terms of software and infrastructure. The past 30 yrs or so of the tech industry has been a ginormous build-out of technological capability. We in the industry may not have seen it that way since we have been the ones engaged in the build-out process. In other words we have seen the build-out primarily as just our jobs, and less as a process perhaps with a terminal date. I wouldn't go so far as saying the build-out is complete by any means, but it s...
