As part of the process of creating this booster, launch.openshift.io set up a project with a CI/CD deployment of this booster. You can see the status of this deployment in your Single-node OpenShift Cluster or OpenShift Online Web Console. |
To run this booster on your local host:
$ git clone git@github.com:gpeavy/nodejs
$ cd nodejs
$ npm install && npm start
To interact with your booster while it’s running locally, use the form at http://localhost:8080
or the curl
command:
$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/greeting
{"content":"Hello, World!"}
$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/greeting?name=Sarah
{"content":"Hello, Sarah!"}
To update your booster:

. -
Make your change (e.g. edit
public/index.html
). -
Restart your booster.
-
Confirm your change appears.
If you have a single-node OpenShift cluster, such as Minishift or the Red Hat Container Development Kit, installed and running, you can also deploy your booster there. A single-node OpenShift cluster provides you with access to a cloud environment that is similar to a production environment.
To deploy your booster to a running single-node OpenShift cluster:
$ oc login -u developer -p developer
$ oc new-project MY_PROJECT_NAME
$ npm install && npm run openshift
