iGoogle Gadget private development - testing

I'd like to host a Google Gadget on our production app server which will provide a means of authentication and display some interesting information from our database.
Obviously I'd prefer to develop and test this outside of our production site.
Is there any means of testing testing a Gadget that is hosted on my dev box? I'm new to gadget development, but as I understand it they need accessible over the internet to run.

Gadgets do not have to be accessible over the public internet to run - just somewhere accessible by the server / page / portal that's trying to use them.
There are several ways you can test your Gadgets -
You can test it by deploying to your own iGoogle page rather than the production portal. Your gadget would have to be internet accessible in this case.
Several Java Portal servers can host Google Gadgets. (LifeRay, Sun Java System Portal Server, Weblogic Portal Server, JBoss Portal Server / GateIn, and many more.) You can run these locally on your development machine / network - so your gadget can just run locally.
Also, Apache has the Shindig project - an OpenSocial and Google Gadgets container - there are Java and PHP implementations available.

How to setup Netdata to monitor my website performance?

So I have installed netdata on my machine using this tutorial https://www.how2shout.com/how-to/how-to-install-netdata-on-windows-10-wsl.html
I started it in my browser via the provided command 127.0.0.1:19999 and it only monitors and sends performance of my local machine (the laptop I'm using)
I own a website so I tried to enter my website IP + 19999 at the end but of course that did not work.
I'd like to set it up so I can measure live performance from my website.
Any idea how I can do that?
Your website runs on a server that your hosting provider owns. To use Netdata, Netdata would have to already be installed on your provider's hosting infrastructure, or you would require sufficient (effectively administrator) access to your hosting server (or servers) to install it yourself, which many hosting services would be unlikely to provide. If you are using a hosting provider that manages your website hosting you likely don't need Netdata to monitor your website performance - monitoring then is considered to be part of what you pay for.
On the other hand, if you are managing your own cloud infrastructure, it should be easy (and a good idea) to install Netdata to monitor any website servers that run on top of it.

Capabilities of Airwatch's Workspace ONE Web browser

My company is evaluating using Airwatch for Mobile Device Management. We have some webapps (PWA / using Service Workers) we use internally. In other posts I read that the administrators may limit the use of the devices' default browsers Safari and Chrome and only allow Airwatch's Workspace ONE Web browser for internal web pages.
Now, my questions are: Does the Workspace ONE Web browser support Progressive Web Apps with service workers?
And additionally, is this browser based on another one, so I'm able to check easily what Workspace ONE Web is capable of (caniuse)?
I would recommend that you review the capabilities directly from VMware. Starting here: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workspace-ONE-UEM/9.7/vmware-airwatch-guides-97/GUID-AW97-Features_Matrix.html
PWA's may function differently on Workspace ONE - Web if there are specific controls implemented that could impede the PWA functionality, like local storage. However, you'll likely be able to determine if this is a risk to your project by reading the documentation.

How to deploy a local eclipse worklight project in cloud server?

I developed an android based hybrid app in the IBM MFP-7.0., My app is fetching the data from the Java service which is running in Tomcat Server. Here the app adapters are running in my local system MFP server to get the data from the Java service, So that I can only run the app in my local system android emulator. Now, we want to deploy the app in the cloud so that we can give this app to our users. Can some body help me how to run our MFP app in the cloud? Is it required to place eclipse in the cloud to run my MFP server like the way I am running in my local system?
Thanks in advance.
It looks to me like your understanding is completely lacking in this subject matter. Also note that this question has got nothing to do with programming.
You need a host machine. On this server you will run an application server (Tomcat, WebSphere Full profile, WebSphere Liberty profile - either single or a farm, depending on your required network topology and security & scalability needs).
On this application server you deploy MobileFirst
You will also need a database
This host machine needs to be accessible (with appropriate security) to the public Internet so that it could serve apps installed in end-users' devices
The application needs to be configured to send requests to the server (or to any front-side server like a Load Balancer, again, depending on your topology)
The generated application needs to be submitted to an App Store so that users could download and install it on their devices
I suggest that you will do some reading before asking any question. Since you're using IBM MobileFirst, start by reading the user documentation: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSNJXP/welcome.html

web application with local webserver on client machine

I have simple web application built on html5 and RoR. It is simple application where user records his voice(html5 web audio) and then it is saved locally. Application won't be hosted on server instead it would be hosted on individual user machine. I need to develop some portable package like exe which will be run on Windows and Mac.
Is this possible? If yes, then what are the ways to achieve it?

OpenMEAP hosted on Apache Tomcat Server via OpenShift Community

I'm preparing a development environment primarily for developing enterprise class cross-platform mobile hybrid apps and after much research I've decided to implement OpenMEAP on an Apache RedHat Cloud OpenShift container for advanced app management and services. The combination of these two could be interesting competition to commercial Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms.
I have my Eclipse setup properly to publish OpenMEAP to OpenShift Community Cloud and I can successfully create, build and deploy the OpenMEAP SLIC to Android devices and emulators after carefully following the instructions in these guides and videos:
OpenMEAP Windows Installation Video
Get free Apache Tomcat Hosting in the Cloud for Java Applications at OpenShift Video
I have only warnings in the Eclipse project. When I publish openmeap-admin-web and openmeap-services-web to the OpenShift container the WAR files are published but they don't expand and therefore cannot be accessed from the tomcat server over the web. If I could get past this problem I could proceed with actual development instead of the exhausting environment prep.
I know it's a long shot but is anyone attempting to use OpenMEAP with OpenShift (or any other cloud based Tomcat server)? I would also like to discuss OpenMEAP database requirements for an OpenShift (or Cloud) Apache Tomcat setup.
Any comment is extremely appreciated.
I don't have any experience onboarding OpenMEAD to OpenShift, but there are some things on the OpenShift Online community that you can review to see if it helps:
1) Troubleshooting with Logs: https://www.openshift.com/faq/how-to-troubleshoot-application-issues-using-logs
2) Onboarding vanilla Tomcat: https://www.openshift.com/blogs/free-apache-tomcat-hosting-in-the-cloud-for-java-applications-its-called-openshift
The later is onboarding Tomcat with a DIY cartridge. What cartridges are you using?
Feel free to post to feedback to the OpenShift forums as well: https://www.openshift.com/forums/openshift
You can deploy OpenMEAP on OpenShift from their quickstart page.
Once you've created the quickstart, you'll need to add your authorization information to your Git repository. Making code changes will require you to set a public SSH key, and then to clone your new application Git repository onto your local machine. See the Getting Started page for more steps in this flow.
Step 1. Get Your Application UUID
Get your application uuid by going to the OpenShift Management Console and select the app name to copy the UUID or run this command: rhc app show $appname | grep -i uuid
Go to the administrative interface of the OpenMEAP instance: https://$appname-$yournamespace.rhcloud.com/openmeap-admin-web/interface/
Log in using the default credentials (userid/password): openshift/openmeap
From the Main Menu, navigate to Settings.
Under Global Settings & Preferences and Cluster Nodes set the following values:
External Service URL: https://$appname-$yournamespace.rhcloud.com/openmeap-services-web
File-system Storage Path Prefix: /var/lib/openshift/<application-uuid>/app-root/data
Admin Server Accessible Service Url Prefix: https://$appname-$yournamespace.rhcloud.com/openmeap-services-web
File-system Storage Path Prefix: /var/lib/openshift/<application-uuid>/app-root/data
Step 2. Build Your Mobile Clients!
Use: openmeap.slic.appMgmtServiceUrl=https://$appname-$yournamespace.rhcloud.com/openmeap-services-web/application-management
