Perhaps I am missing something

[michael kotschi]

Hello, 

I have newly discovered Blueprint and I am very excited about learning and using this software.

To that end I would like to setup my own blueprint.io.server, but either I am missing something obvious 

or the documentation at http://devstructure.com/blueprint/#server is incomplete.

After installing Boto, Flask and Gunicorn and Blueprint, I have no /etc/blueprint.cfg is this something I must create myself?

I do have what looks like config lines that would go into /etc/blueprint.cfg in a file called /etc/init/blueprint-io-server.conf.

I do not find any mention of this file /etc/init/blueprint-io-server.conf in the documentation, again am I missing something?

And finally the server config given in  http://devstructure.com/blueprint/#server refers to what I assume to be Amazon S3, I am not running on S3.

Must the Blueprint IO server be run from S3?

I have a number of Ubuntu servers both virtualized and not that I would like to clone.

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 32bit as my test server.

Thanks

Yes, though there are good defaults where possible.

Files in /etc/init are Upstart configurations which are different from
the Blueprint IO server configuration in /etc/blueprint.cfg.

Yes, Blueprint IO server is specifically designed to store data in S3.

That should work well.

No problem. Thanks for the response.

Since the blueprint-io-server is meant for hosting on Amazon S3 and I don't have nor want an account. I shall look for another way to archive and share my blueprints.

Thanks Again
