Discover OpenShift

F Flaburgan Public Seen by 77

OpenShift is a cloud solution powered by RedHat. mcepi is a redhat employer and he talked about it on github. It can be a real easy way to deploy Diaspora for free !

I registered and will try to look at it. What do you think about it ?

I'd say, let's set up a test pod on OpenShift and see how it performs. If the performance is comparable to Heroku. I just signed up for an account to test it out myself.

Do you want to use OpenShift for testing or for hosting a Diaspora pod?

First testing, and if it works...

@flaburgan i'll say, your tar error messages are in French!

as with any free 'cloud' provider, the two main problems I see are RAM and disk space.
sure, the paid variants offer scalability, but I fear for a multi-user pod the offered resources might run out pretty quickly.
no harm in trying it out, though ;)

I started a documentation about it on the wiki

Hm, looks like they checkout the default branch, which is develop in our case...

@jonneha when you choose the git repository, you don't have the choice, the master branch is selected. I push myself the develop files.

Yeah it says master but actually it's the default one.
