FDB installer

[gedw99]

I noticed they have windows , Mac and Linux binaries in their releases.

An addition to the makefile to curl them to down and boot them up would be nice to get going quickly .

Use case is that I want to quickly try Nola out and want to not just use the memory model.

Also a docker that runs on fly.io might be a very easy win for adoption of users too.
fly is multi region and so makes it very easy to show off the scale out , HA and linearizabiloty aspects of Nola and FDM.

if you want sone help just yell as I am keen to try Nola with a NATS Transport on top

btw your docs are excellent

Hey! I will happily accept a P.R with a new makefile target that installs FDB as well as Dockerfiles :)

Btw there is an open PR to support a SQL-backed store which should also make testing easier eventually (can use an RDS or fly.IO Postgres instance): #36

WIsh i had time, but in a crush right now..

No problem. If you end up experimenting with NOLA or using it for anything let me know, whatever you’re working on sounds interesting.

If you run into any real problems also please file an issue.

wow interest.. Will def have a play

[richardartoul]

@gedw99 I forgot to mention, did you know there is a DNS-backed registry for NOLA? It's a lot less featureful obviously (not necessarily linearizable, no KV store, etc), but you can use it for basic actor activation/routing/discovery etc

[gedw99]

did not know that.. Got a link to its usage ?

[richardartoul]

I actually dont have an example coded up outside of environment_test.go. I'll try and whip one up and throw it in the examples folder.

That should do it, let me know if you run into any issues

[gedw99]

I will try it . Am swamped right now though so will be a while

[gedw99]
