Openshift Deployment

orb can be deployed on Openshift with the following steps. Make sure you have Openshift Client Tools installed.

1. Install the Go cartridge.

   rhc create-app orb https://cartreflect-claytondev.rhcloud.com/reflect?github=smarterclayton/openshift-go-cart
   

2. Create a local copy of your project.

   rhc git-clone -a orb
   

3. Update .godir file with your package name. e.g. The .godir file might contain:

   github.com/shivamMg/orb
   

4. Install cron cartridge for your application.

   rhc cartridge add cron -a orb
   

5. You need to add a cron job that runs hourly, so create hourly directory inside cron and create a bash script in it.

   mkdir -p .openshift/cron/hourly
   touch .openshift/cron/hourly/script.sh
   

6. Add the following inside the script:

   #! /bin/bash
   
   export TZ="Asia/Calcutta"
   date >> $OPENSHIFT_GO_LOG_DIR/last_date_cron_ran
   $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR/bin/orb >> $OPENSHIFT_GO_LOG_DIR/last_date_cron_ran
   

   This will keep a track of the questions posted.

7. Make your script executable.

   chmod +x .openshift/cron/hourly/script.sh
   

8. Add necessary files used by orb.

9. Add your changes, commit work and push.

   git add *
   git commit -m "Add orb"
   git push
