Yeah I'm assuming the methodology is: 1) Find high-value target libraries 2) Grab the usernames of accounts with push access 3) Check those against password dumps I feel really stu…

Hey since this is blown up I just want to address it directly. I take responsibility for what happened here. My RubyGems.org account was using an insecure, reused password that has…

That repo could use a refresh. convox-exmples/rails is most pertinent here. We're working on revamped examples for many popular languages now and expect to see them rolling out soo…

Hi, Matt from Convox here. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about this feature, Convox, or development workflows using Docker.

Hey, Convox cofounder Matt here. Great questions! 1) You can update your Convox rack and cli using the cli. `convox update && convox system update`. http://docs.convox.com/docs/upd…

Thank you!

You could run Wordpress today, afaik. Anything that can run in a Docker container can run on on Convox. You'd just need to use some sort of hosted database service like Amazon RDS …

Correct. It does default to us-east-1. The main reason is that we are using some fairly new AWS services that aren't launched in all regions, but we do want to and expect to expand…

Thanks! Yes right now we have a small team working on this full time. We do plan to commercialize it, but intend to always keep it open source. We're super confident it will get to…
