When I finish the application, I can upload to Google App Engine by
"appcfg.py update ....."

My question is :
Can I run this application in my local LAN. And make sure other
computers in the samd LAN can visit it.

Thanks a lot!!!!!

the apps are hosted by Google and any computer connected to Internet can access to them. So the computers in your LAN need to be connected to Internet

Can I just hosted it in my LAN (like the "dev_appserver.py")?
when we developing, we can use dev_appserver.py to test the
application.
Is there any way I can host the application in local LAN for other
computers?

Thanks!!!!

Right.  You upload it to Google and take advantage of their infrastructure.
 
My question is :

When you run it on your local computer you ARE running it on your local LAN.  If configured properly, there's no reason other computers on your LAN can't use your app.  You won't get the benefits of Google's infrastructure, of course, but maybe you don't need that on your local LAN.

But why would you do that?  The main selling point of AppEngine is, IMO, the scalability.

I'd like to do this too but keep in mind you need to build your own
authentication and security system.

Has anyone done any load/stress testing on the dev server? Or taken a
close look at it's architecture? Is there a possibility to create a
open source version of app engine that we could use for intranets?

The reason I am interested in this is simple. A significant percentage
of my target market doesn't want their data in the cloud. If we can
write one application that can serve cloud as well as intranet users,
we will promote cloud adoption in an evolutionary way.

hey guys,

It's done now.

I just use the argument "--address" then other computers can visit the
application through for example:
http://192.168.1.100:8080/

The dev appserver does all queries with linear searches, and has no
logging or other such protections for data integrity. It is most
certainly NOT something you want to use for production use.

Of course, anyone is free to fix it up and make it ready for
production use :)

As others have pointed out, the dev server is useless for actual
production. (It's not just the linear search of the dev server's
datastore; its history file will also kill you.)

There are two big problems, the datastore and the web server.

It's obviously possible to create an API compatible datastore that one
could use elsewhere. http://github.com/jchris/appdrop/tree/master
looks like a first pass at supporting the GAE datastore API using a
single mysql instance.

However, you also need to create a compatible version of the web
server because the "one request at a time" limit is probably too
strict.

Hey guys,
Thanks a lot!
You know, so far, I just need a simple web serve running in my LAN and
handle some datastore.
Maybe just user dev_appserver is enough so far.

The problem is that under dev serve, application can just handle only
one http request at the same time.
It seem the "app-engine-patch" can fix it up, I'm trying.

I'm beginner of Google App and Python. So,
appreciate scincerely.

Hi Bryan,

the application can be hosted in LAN just use dev_appserver.py.
but I can user my own user registration and authentication.

It seems that "app-engine-patch" can fix this for google app engine.
But I don't know jack about Django web framework, I began to learn
Python from Google App Engine.

Do you have any suggestions for me?
Appreciate!!!!!!!!!!!!!
