Thank you for this! As soon as I heard about OpenShift I signed up for an account. Immediately I decided I wanted to run web2py apps there. I don't have the time to figure it out though. Thank you for sharing what you have working.
GAE didn't completely satisfy me. FluxFlex was buggy and unstable. Webfaction strictly limits resource usage and IMO therefore not a cloud provider. I started work on a RackSpace cloud server to host my app when OS came along. I hope to repeat what you've already accomplished sometime this weekend. I am super excited! Thanks once again. -- Jon Molesa On Friday, June 8, 2012 at 11:07 AM, Andrew wrote: > Just FYI to anyone interested, I've put together a web2py template for > OpenShift (https://openshift.redhat.com/app/) (Red Hat's Opensource PaaS). > > You can find it here: - https://github.com/prelegalwonder/openshift_web2py > > I've also put together a basic openshift deployer from the admin page, and > you can grab the changes from my fork of web2py - > https://github.com/prelegalwonder/web2py > It's just 3 files in the admin app: > controllers/openshift.py > views/openshift/deploy.html > and a modification to views/default/site.html > > It's only requirement to work beyond having a local working openshift project > is GitPython installed and accessible from the runtime that web2py is running > in. > > So you can either run the admin app in the cloud and access it directly or > run a local web2py instance and execute the deployer when you want to test > out your changes. > > I'm working on a detailed blog that I intent to submit to the OpenShift team > so they can put it on their site for getting started. > > Enjoy
