Our installs of locker currently run in a VM provided by the university computing service.
Locker Install Setup
Lockers are currently run from inside a Xen virtual machine, hosted by the University Computing Service. A second Xen machine handles the DNS records for the locker.cam.ac.uk domain.
The locker code is used within a minimal Debian install, together with NodeJS and MongoDB to form a container, one per user, which is isolated in it's own LXC container and runs as a virtual machine. This virtual machine stores all data that is uploaded from the iPhone app and controls access to it. It also allows migration to other hosts, should the user wish to move it.
