Platform agnostic deployment?

hschoenburg opened this issue · comments

Hello Nomulus,

Please accept my apologies for using Issues to ask a questio.

I am seeking to use nomulus to manage an experimental TLD on Handshake.

Can I deploy nomulus on my own independent server without Google App Engine? Or is it configured to connect to a proprietary Google datastore?

Does nomulus require me to register with GSuite as well? I'm unclear on how coupled nomulus is with Google services.

Thank you.

Right now Nomulus requires GAE and other GCP services (data store, task queue, etc) to work. There are plans to make it more platform independent but we probably won't get there for maybe 6 months to a year.

You don't need a G Suite account though. Regular consumer gmail.com account should work.

I am interested in anyone creating an offer, based on Nomulus, to host a new gTLD. I was informed that Google won't be developing a solution for future applicants from the next round but...someone else might.
