Last week-end, we were attending FOSDEM, in Brussels for one of the largest and maybe the largest open source conference over the world with about 8000 attendees from all over the world. Here is our recap.

During PyconFR 2016 in Rennes, a yearly conference of French Python developers, our team give a talk about lessons learned building a public API using Django REST framework. You can find the complete code of what we presented in our slides on Bleemeo account .

In this article, we will explain how we are using Rocket.chat as our internal chat and how we deploy this tool. You can use IRC, Jabber (XMPP) or any other "modern" chat system: Slack, Rocket.Chat, etc. After using XMPP for a couple of months, we decided to move to Rocket.Chat.

At Bleemeo, as many geeks, we use a couple of tools on a day to day basis. Most of those tools are small Open Source web applications and, to be trendy, we deploy those tools with Docker. In the past, we used to create a virtual machine per service, deploy the tool and configure web server on each machine. Moreover if you are using https, you need to deploy certificates and private keys on each server.
