  Hi Molingo,

  Thank you for your feedback.

  I guess there are now plans so far to have piggy.db as an online service or with an easy way to use it on a shared hosting?

  Yes, though no concrete plan in place, I've being thinking about that, like Piggydb@cloud service.

  I wonder how much a reasonable price for personal users would be. What do you think about that?

  Best regards,
  Daisuke

  Hello Daisuke,

  thanks for your answer!

  To be true: I like to have everything on my own cloud. Piggy.db is the first app that needs to have a tomcat server (right?) and those are quite expensive in comparison to "normal" hosting services. So it would be great to have other options to use piggy.db in the mobile world - yet I guess the only way would be to use the right server system?

  Then: Good question about the reasonable price for a cloud service offered by you...I do pay enough for my webhosters so I am not that much in the mood to pay for extra services which I usually can realize by myself. Yet if I (or others) are serious about using piggy.db mobile I would say it should be cheaper than buying/renting a dedicated tomcat webhosting space/server - cheapest I found was about 5 € (EUR). And I thought that's to expensive for just running piggy.db.

  So in the beginning I would argue for a quite low price between 1 to max. 3 € (EUR) per month.

  Might this be manageable?

  Kind regards
  Molingo

  ...or maybe something like a "special extra supporters edition" with a one-year subsription of about 12-16 € - I still feel more comfortable with long run buys :)

  Looking forward for some kind of mobile support - I am just fiddling around which tools to use in my windows-android-system for the knowledge collecting and creating...

  Hello,

  You can host piggydb for free if you use a Java PaaS such as Cloudbees (http://www.cloudbees.com) - there are others Java PaaS.

  I've just tried and it works well.

  Subscribe, then create an application based on tomcat (default choice it seems), then follow guide : https://developer.cloudbees.com/bin/view/RUN/GettingStarted Piggydb is available as a war file so you just have to follow "Using RUN@cloud with an existing app" section.

  It seems responsive, but my base is just empty for now so I can't tell if behavior will be ok with lot of data.

  Regards,
  Nicolas

  Hi Molingo,

  Thank you very much for your view on the topic. It is very helpful.

  As you wrote, I think the mobile support (for smart phones and tablets) is the most important factor for launching a cloud service.

  Best regards,
  Daisuke

  Hi Nicolas,

  Thank you for the info.

  I've tried out Cloudbees before and it seems to work, but unfortunately (it is really unfortunate because Cloudbees is a very nice, easy-to-use service), the file system on Cloudbees is temporary/ephemeral. So your database will be cleared in some time.

  Hello,

  Openshift offers free tomcat cloud hosting:

  https://www.openshift.com/blogs/free-apache-tomcat-hosting-in-the-c...

  I am trying to install Piggydb on that, but it's bit difficult..

  Hi Sungbin,

  Thank you for another info.

  I've not heard of Openshift. As you wrote, it would be a little bit difficult for non-programmers to install Piggydb. But, it's still interesting as a choice of hosting platform.

  Another hosting service I used before for a demo server is EATJ.com. It's easy to use and works fine. You can try out TRIAL for free.

  Hello Molingo,

  I am currently running Piggydb on my own web server, installing Tomcat on Windows Server 2012. (http://db.clockospace.net)
  I tried several JSP hosting services offer in my country, but setting up the environment is so hard to Java novice..

  If you are interested of running Piggydb on cloud service, I recommend Jelastic. (jelastic.com)
  I tested it and seems to work fine.

  Thanks,
  Jeon
