Hello,

Is there anyone who has installed Kill Bill on Digital Ocean? I'd like to connect with you to make sure I install Kill Bill right and if there are any "gotchas" you can help me to avoid.

Thanks.

Hi Tim,

We never tried to install Kill Bill on Digital Ocean ourselves, but we have installed it in various other cloud solutions (aws, heroku, fasthosts) and it always worked out of the box because in the end deploying Kill Bill is pretty much deploying a war into a container (tomcat, jetty, ..).

Also we recently worked on a Docker image for Kill Bill if this is a road that interests you: we wrote a blog post about it: http://killbill.io/blog/having-fun-with-docker-stripe-kill-bill/

Finally i also want to point the existence of our package manager (KPM) : https://github.com/killbill/killbill-cloud/tree/master/kpm

Let us know how that goes,

Stéphane

Hi, thanks, --- I deployed the war in Jetty and am getting errors.

I looked at the Docker image...our developer didn't want it deployed in Docker, but I'm doing it now to get it up and running.

But it's still unclear.

The post says:  When the installation is complete, retrieve the IP from the container host (on MacOS, run boot2docker ip). 
I ran the following:

docker run -tid --name killbilltest -p 8080:8080 killbill/killbill

My droplet has an IP, but IP:8080 doesn't yield anything.....

Yes, those instructions are for when running docker on macos -- where there is actually a VM running on top of macos.

docker run -tid --name killbilltest -p 8080:8080 killbill/killbill

I don't know how docker works on digital ocean but there seems to be some documentation explaining it (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-the-digitalocean-docker-application). In the end the option -p8080:8080 says to map the port 8080 from the host (your droplet) to the docker container. So you still need to understand (for digital ocean) what is the IP of your docker container and does it match the public IP of your droplet.
