When creating a node-RED agent via opencore there is three toggles. I am curious what exactly those toggles do:
Auto Start
Web Server
Sleep
When auto-start is visible and enabled, it means the housekeeping job will ensure the cloud agent is running (within 15 minutes of starting OpenCore, and then once an hour).
The webserver will add metadata to the cloud agent to make it accessible through the Traefik ingress controller, by default using port 3000.
Sleep is a troubleshooting option. If the cloud agent dies during startup, you cannot open a shell into the container. Enabling sleep will change the run command to just call a loop that calls sleep so you can open a shell and troubleshoot.
Ah to bad i was hoping that the sleep function would let me power down the agent between runs.
So basically we run into a small problem in that all the Node-RED agents running all day eat a lot of memory, just to be triggered like once or twice a day and are looking into smart solutions for that.
We kind of have that.
Our serverless solution https://tidedge.com/ solves EXACTLY that.
Cool i will have a closer look at it. I assume this is a subscription feature? Is it already released or still in testing?
For single workloads, similar to packages deployed in OpenCore, it’s released and ready.
For running complete stacks (like database + Redis + backend + frontend), it’s in “pre-release.”
We are negotiating PoCs with multiple players and are very interested in talking with more.
Just reach out to Simon if this is something you would be interested in too.
