This document summarizes an OpenShift State of the Union presentation given at Devoxx 2012. It provides a brief history of OpenShift including its acquisition by Red Hat in 2010 and open sourcing in 2012. It then demonstrates how to get started with OpenShift including signing up, installing client tools, creating a domain and applications, deploying applications using Git, and available web cartridges. Tips and demos of deploying sample applications are also provided.

3. OpenShift status
“A speech given by
the US President to
Congress every
year describing the
condition of the
country...”

4. History Lesson
• November 2010: Makara acquired by Red Hat
• 2011: Makara merged into the OpenShift
project
• May 2012: OpenShift open sourced!
• Live CD launched for local PaaS
• GitHub code base
• Activity: blogs, howto’s, quickstarts, webinars...
• June 2012: JBoss World, OpenShift Enterprise
PaaS announced.

5. Getting started

6. You start with 3

7. And you never look back
Tekst

8. PaaS?!?
Widescreen.. <drool>

9. STOP DORKING WITH THE STACK
Time spent setting up the server:
14 hours
Time spent finding
and fixing the problem:
45 minutes
There are some things that you
can spend all day(s) on.
This is NOT ONE OF THEM!

10. HOW-TO
1. Sign Up
2. Install Client Tools
3. Create Domain
4. Create Application
5. Deploy Application (GIT)
6. ROCK OUT!

12. Install Client Tools
Command line (https://openshift.redhat.com/community/developers/install-the-client-tools)
Fedora Ubuntu
$ sudo yum install rubygem-rhc
Windows
Install Ruby (RubyInstaller 1.9) $ sudo apt-get instal
$ rhc
Install Git for Windows (1.8.0) $ ruby -e ‘puts “Test
$ sudo gem update rhc Test
C:Program Files> gem install rhc $ git --version
C:Program Files> rhc git version 1.8.0
$ sudo getm install r
Other $ rhc
See link above
Mac OS X
$ ruby -e ‘puts “Ruby is installed”’
Ruby is installed
$ git --version
git version 1.8.0
$ sudo gem install rhc
$ rhc

13. Create your Domain
- Use the rhc command
$ rhc domain create -n mydomain -l openshiftlogin
- Use the
admin console

14. Web Cartridges
Currently:
JBoss EAP 6.0,
JBoss AS 7.1,
Tomcat,
Zend 5.6,
Node.js 0.6,
PHP 5.3,
Perl 5.10,
Python 2.6, Ruby 1.9,
Jenkins, DIY...

15. Instant applications

16. Creating an Application
• Web Cartridge • Choose a name
• Create!

17. Ready, Set, Code!

18. Extend... (or start over!)

19. Gears
• 500 Mb memory
• 1 Gb Storage Tekst
Embedded Gears:
MySQL,
PostgreSQL,
MongoDB,
PHPMyAdmin,
RockMongo,
Jenkins,
HAProxy,
Metrics,
Cron,
Gen-MMS-Agent

20. And Now with the
Command Line
• Name app and define type
$ rhc app create -a <appname> -t <apptype> -l <openshiftlogin>
• Add application to local repo
$ cd <appname>
$ # add files, change them, etc!
$ git add .
• Commit changes
$ git commit -m “Initial app import.”

21. DEPLOY
$ git push (Git hooks)
In your git repository:
.openshift/action_hooks/pre_build
.openshift/action_hooks/build
.openshift/action_hooks/deploy
.openshift/action_hooks/post_deploy

22. EASY!

23. Oh yeah, Developer Studio!

24. 1, 2, 3, Go

25. Tips & No More Passwords! (bash)
Save password in ~/.openshift/.pwd
Tricks $ chmod 600 ~/.openshift/.pwd
$ function rhc() {
`which rhc` “$@” -p “`cat ~/.openshift/.pwd`”
# -l $login also, if you want
}
Hot Deployments!
Works for JBoss AS7, PHP and Ruby. Git Config
Add marker file: autosetuprebase=true
$ touch .openshift/markers/hot_deploy
can cause problems...
... remember, you still have to live inside the unless you’re a git guru!
memory footprint -- there’s also Jenkins!

26. DEMO TIME!
