I started playing with dotCloud (the less opinionated App Engine), so figured I would take CherryPy for a test ride!

Wanted to have a hands on understanding of how infrastructure does things at work:

1. compile openssl
2. compile python 2.7 with ssl support
3. compile git
4. install easy_install
5. easy_install pip
6. pip dotcloud
7. create a bare repository
8. git add remote ...
9. ...

Eventually put together a post-receive hook that checks out the bare repository into a working tree which can then be dotCloud pushed.

There are simpler way to work around ssh port limitation (corporate IT sucks) but they don't teach you as much :D
