I'm usingContentBox Modular CMSwhich allowed me to get this site up and running (via theCommandBox CLI) literally in about 30 minutes after booting a Raspberry Pi for the first time in my life. This was incredibly easy and the site performs great for a single page page load with its in-memory H2 database. Hitting the home page locally loads in less than200ms. Of course, ContentBox is a full-fledged CMS running on Hibernate ORM with theming support, dynamic content rendering, and modular plugins. It's not necessarily optimized for an embedded device. However, I'm still able to get about15 requests a secondto a ContentBox page which is a decent amount of traffic. https://pi.bradwood.com/blog/performance-tests-show-over-1000-requests-per-second Tue, 07 Apr 2015 23:02:00 GMT brad@bradwood.com (Wood Brad) CFML ColdFusion CommandBox ContentBox Raspberry Pi https://pi.bradwood.com/blog/performance-tests-show-over-1000-requests-per-second Since I was feeling adventurous, I postedthis blog on Reddit. I used the word "ColdFusion' in the title knowing full well the knee-jerk reaction many people have with the hopes it would spark some good discussion. That's also why I added an "About CFML" page to the site. I've been enjoying some good conversation, though I'm generally disappointed at the lopsided attention given to performance above all things. To "prove" to me how slow CFML is, several of the Reddit readers launched a DOS attack on my Pi with load testing tools. https://pi.bradwood.com/blog/rate-limiting-against-dos Mon, 30 Mar 2015 22:14:00 GMT brad@bradwood.com (Wood Brad) ColdFusion CommandBox ContentBox Raspberry Pi https://pi.bradwood.com/blog/rate-limiting-against-dos In my previous two posts, I showed how I added liveCPU usageandMemory usageto my blog layout to let people see how my Raspberry Pi is holding up hosting a CFML site. There's one more stat I wanted to add and that is a hit counter so you know how many requests have been served in the last hour. Since there's no web server logs to parse, I added a simple counter in CFML. https://pi.bradwood.com/blog/adding-a-hit-counter-plus-contentbox-cache-busting Mon, 30 Mar 2015 08:34:00 GMT brad@bradwood.com (Wood Brad) ColdBox ContentBox Raspberry Pi https://pi.bradwood.com/blog/adding-a-hit-counter-plus-contentbox-cache-busting Please welcome the newest CFML site on the Internet. This one's a little different though because it's running on a $35 device called aRaspberry Pi 2. These newer versions have 1GB of RAM and a 900MHz quad-core CPU. The CMS in use isContentBox Modular CMSand is running on the embedded server ofCommandBox(Undertow and RailoLucee). https://pi.bradwood.com/blog/say-hello-to-cfml-on-a-pi Sat, 28 Mar 2015 00:30:00 GMT brad@bradwood.com (Wood Brad) CFML CommandBox ContentBox Raspberry Pi https://pi.bradwood.com/blog/say-hello-to-cfml-on-a-pi
