Is there a pre-made page that will give some details on the executing machine where the server runs? simple things such as CPU, RAM, and maybe a bit more

There are several different ways to configure a Kestrel server (JSON file, IWebHostBuilder, environment variables) but is there any way to view the entire applied configuration together? It would be nice to read the final outcome after using more than one of these configuration options.
I'm running .NET 5.0 ASP.NET Core apps in Linux Docker containers and was really hoping for something I could look at via the command line in the running container. Is it all just in memory and this is an impossible ask? I'd even take a local-only landing page or something.
I've read all documentation I can find and haven't seen this addressed.
No this isn't possible today. File a feature request on ASP.NET Core describing what you would like to see https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues
While not quite what I was looking for, I found IConfigurationRoot.GetDebugView() which gives me the information I need. It "generates a human-readable view of the configuration showing where each value came from."
I can't use it in a shell on the web server like I initially asked, but it could be output to a page or API for debugging.
I'm trying to find a decent standalone webserver that I can load up on a jump drive.
My wife is a photographer, and I'd like to present the clients with their images on usb. When they plug it in, I'd like a web page to load up, and run some jQuery magic to show them a nice carousel of all there images.
So far, this is all fine since it can all be done client side and doesn't need a server at all.
The problem I'm facing is that I'd like some server-side code to be able to read the images out of the directory so that once the interface is built, I don't need to manually create all of the <img /> tags.
If it was primarily going to be used in a Windows environment, I'd have no problem going with IIS Express, since I'm mainly a .NET MVC developer and this would be perfect for me... However, the fact of the matter is that a large amount of our client base is also OS X users.
I did find this Java one jlHttp, and I also found this thread here on SO, but I don't think I understand enough about either one of them to accomplish what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
I'm looking for the same thing, and the two best options I've found were Flying Ant cd web server and Stunnix. Of the two, Flying Ant is cheaper, and I've tested it with success on my project.
I found Mongoose very convenient for this exact purpose. It's crossplatform, lightweight and requires minimum configuration. You may be interested in this project that uses Mongoose to display pictures in a folder tree or FTP directory.
How about Node.js
It says it runs on Linux, OS X, and Windows.
I'm wanting to scan files a user uploads to our websites on the server-side. I'd prefer it to be something we can run on-demand that doesn't have to be running all the time on the server. What solutions are available for Windows Server 2008 R2? Which products specifically would you recommend?
If I were in your situation, I would script up a solution to call ClaimAV on the file, whenever you receive the file. For Windows, if you are running IIS, (or any web framework) there is probably some sort of callback on file reception you can plug this into.
Almost all the antivirus programs provide you a command-line version (or starting parameters) to scan just one file, or a directory.
There are several scanners on demand, there is a list named "Probably the Best Free Security List in the World" which lists a few, sorry I cannot provide the link because StackOverflow limits the amount of hyperlinks new users can post.
Although not listed in that list, one of the best I've used is the F-Prot Antivirus and it seems it runs well in Windows Server 2008

For your case the best solution would be using http://www.virustotal.com/
I use windows XP and R for my desktop use. And a shared hosting account (at some company) for my web hosting needs.
I wish to create an R web application and I understand that one such way is by using R with Apache through RApache , but since my current shared hosting plan doesn't allow me to install RApache I am a bit stuck.
So... (and here's my question) what would be the easiest/fastest/cost-effective way to get started?
Buying a more expensive hosting package ?
Hosting the thing myself? (on windows ?!)
switch to some other hosting company that permits the use of RApache?
Any suggestion will be most helpful.
Self-hosting is an option if you insist on using RApache. This might be easier than you think. Here's a link to a blog post i read a month ago before i decided to buy the hardware and server my own files. i just watched this seven minute YouTube video tutorial entitled "R Web Application–'Hello World' using RApache" I believe this was just posted today.
In seven minutes, the author walks through building a "hello world" Site using RApache then walks through a more ambitious example, building a user-input form to collect inputs then deliver them to a particular R function--pretty much a exemplary slice of what i suspect most people would want to use RApache for.
A second option is using a web framework. My recommendation here is Django. Why? It's written in Python so you can access R functionality via the python bindings (RPy2). Second, if you are not an experienced web developer, Django is in many ways, a great framework to begin with because it's truly a "full-stack" solution--it works more or less out of the box. In addition, there is a substantial and growing body of quality step-by-setp tutorials, code snippets, and even packaged django Sites, to learn from.
it seems they provide a VMWare image to get up and running quickly.
I suggest you download VMWare player and try the image. Since RApache isn't available for Windows, this is the most simple way, I guess. I wouldn't use that for hosting, but I would first try whether this stack is actually the right thing for your app. Also, this allows you testing things locally.
Doug,
Should I read your suggestion as saying that a Django app can call the RPy2 functionality without RApache? If so, that sounds like a solution for folks on shared hosting who can't install the RAPache module.
I'm investigating the use of mono in real world high traffic web applications. There are some references on the mono site (companies using mono), but I couldn't find a high traffic website sample other than Deki powered ones. And I've read some mailings about mod_mono stability problems because of inexistence of compacting GC.
Please reference your app and give some info, if is there anyone using mono in production.
...or do I have to look at Java ?
Regards,
sirmak
Wikipedia is using Mono for search (also listed on the companies using Mono page)
A ton of people use Mono in production and development. I'm sure this page will change dramatically over the next year or so, but look at http://www.mono-project.com/Companies_Using_Mono. This is a good reference, but projects using Mono are popping up every day, so we'll see more soon.
Lunchwalla.com uses Mono for its website. It receives fairly high traffic. There is also a little blog item regarding the set up - http://blog.lunchwalla.com/2010/04/23/the-tech-behind-lunchwalla/
Go for it. Beyond the initial setup work and tuning you can have a very stable and fast server with all the advantages of low-resource required do the the job, at least with nginx/lighttpd. mod_mono (Apache) resources will go way faster according to a lot of feedback I've been reading on the all the major places this topic is discussed
From #mono (IRC)
<ruionwriting> ahall: in apache what is your feel about the performance compared with nginx?
<ahall> the fastcgi implementation is just a bit buggy and buy sending few concurrent requests to it it hogged 99% cpu and didn't get out of it. I will switch to nginx + fastcgi as soon as its suitable for me in production
<ahall> buy = by
<ahall> but yeah i always use nginx instead of apache whenever possible, but with mono i dont recommend it
This last part I don't have to agree based on the setup I have.
This question on stack overflow must me included here.
