cloudant local edition, remote dashboard - cloudant

I'm doing some prototyping with Cloudant Local Edition (1.0.0.5 on Ubuntu 14.04, if it matters).
With a vanilla install, the Cloudant dashboard app runs on the same server as the Cloudant node. I'm looking for a way to use the dashboard to connect to a Cloudant instance on another server. In other words, I have Cloudant nodes A, B, and C. From my desktop browser, I can connect to each dashboard as http://A/dashboard.html, or http://B/dashboard.html. What I am looking for is a way to connect to A/dashboard.html (perhaps on a different port) and be able to connect to A or B.
I've been scouring documentation and also poking around at lots of files in my Cloudant Local Edition installed software. So far, no joy.
Is it possible? How?

Are nodes A, B, and C clustered? If they are, there should be a load balancer in front of them that also runs the dashboard. You can find info about the load balancer installation in Cloudant Local docs.
If not, then I think what you're trying to do is impossible, unfortunately. The dashboard isn't a management console for multiple Cloudant installations.

Best way to run SQL Server in Docker in Azure

Trying to find article or solution page in Azure but I am not successful yet.
The title is pretty much self explanatory. I am looking for a known best practice or solution with steps to follow to run docker with SQL Server in Azure.
I have Docker with SQL Server Express, Docker for Windows, running locally and my expectation is simply deploying this to Azure.
Based on my short experience with Azure, I probably need to set up some Azure service where I can deploy my docker image and run, not sure what that Azure product should be (probably more of Azure Container than Azure SQL)
well, given your requirement of windows containers (why?), you can use either Azure Container Instances (but be mindful of base images they support) or AKS engine. I'd discard webapps.

Migrate MS Access backend to cloud

I have built a CRM for my company using MS Access 2016, and we are looking to be able to use it remotely. I have currently split the database and have the back-end residing on our company server/shared drive. As I see it, we could put the back-end on SQL Server, but that would mean finding a way to host it. We recently moved to Google Apps for Work and I have been looking at the Google Cloud platform (e.g. Cloud SQL), but I don't know if it will integrate nicely with MSSQL. There's also Sharepoint, but we are are having difficulty even finding it to buy on Microsoft.com, and are trying to move away from Microsoft Office products anyway.
What would be the most stable, cost-effective, and fastest way to allow our employees to use our Access DB remotely?
My suggestion would be to migrate the database into SQL Server as step one. Then step two host the database in Microsoft Azure using the SQL DB service.
You can find more details and pricing here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/sql-database/
Be sure you check the single database pricing. Unless you want the elastic scaling and performance.
I'm not sure about the cost part, but the fastest and most stable (IMHO) would be to use Remote Desktop. Either to a user's workstation or to a server set up for it.
We have migrated our backend to SQL Server from MS Access for obvious reasons. Our users access the front end off a VPS Hosted in the cloud. Connection string ODBC. It is robust and fast.
we are currently using a VPS. Looks cheaper and easy to access ;

Integrating SAP servers with Google Cloud Platform

A client of mine has 2 SAP local servers and he would like to recover his data on the cloud using GCP.
The 2 SAP servers are working with a shared MS SQL database with clustering methodology, one server is active while the other is passive. His reason of recovering the data is that whenever his SAP servers are down he could still access his database with the same functionality he has locally.
I kept on trying to search for a solution to do so using the Google App Engine but as far as I understood there will be no full functionality.
What I thought of is to use the CloudSQL database as a mirror to his SQL database and to get the GAE as a passive server that only works when the systems are down. I found this link which was useful on connecting SAP with GAE but still not with much help on running GAE as an active server.
Any ideas on any other work around?
Thank you.

Connect PhpMyAdmin to database in server

I have PhpMyAdmin and MySQL running in Windows 8.
I have installed them using Apache friends XAMPP v 3.1, so I didn’t do any configuration myself.
Currently if I go to localhost/phpmyadmin">http://localhost/phpmyadmin, then it automatically shows my local MySQL db and tables.
That I need is connect to remote server(it has MySQL) and runnig locally in my machine , for teh user of one app.
How can I connect to that server from phpmyadmin.
I’ve been trying to find if there any kind of connect panel in phpmyadmin, but no fruit yet.
For rather severe security reasons applicable servers to connect to are not configured at runtime but in the core configuration file config.inc.php. Otherwise a single hacked database account on an edge server could easily expose the entire network for brute force hacking, or tunneling into LAN-only unsecured databases.

Database mirroring on Rackspace or Xeround

I´m running 2 servers on Rackspace. I have set up a load balancer that balances the traffic between these two servers.
Each of these servers runs a Glassfish v3 server with a Java EE application on it, that offers a web interface to write some data into server database. The problem is that I need to have the same data on each database (server 1 database and server 2 database).
A resolution to this problem is mirroring of databases.
I would like to ask if there is some automated system to mirror these databases inside the rackspace?
Furthermore I ve found Xendros database cloud that is able to work with Rackspace Cloud. Is it possible to mirror these databases inside the Xeround?
Or are there any better solutions ?
Thanks for answers :)
With Xeround you do not need to mirror your database, you create a single database instance and direct your application servers to work with this instance.
