TorqueBox on OpenShift
Here is a quick way to try out your Ruby application running in TorqueBox on OpenShift.
By default, this quickstart will install the latest incremental
version of TorqueBox. You can specify a different version by tweaking
.openshift/action_hooks/pre_start_jbossas-7, but any build older
than incremental 1294 won't work. ;-)
Running on OpenShift
Create an account at http://openshift.redhat.com/
Create a jbossas-7 application
rhc app create -a yourapp -t jbossas-7
Remove the sample app provided by the jbossas-7 cartridge
cd yourapp
rm -rf pom.xml src
Add this upstream repo
git remote add upstream -m master git://github.com/openshift-quickstart/torquebox-quickstart.git
git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master
Then add, commit, and push your changes
git add -A .
git commit -m "My Changes"
git push
That's it! The first build will take a minute or two, even after the
push completes, so be patient. You should ssh to your app and run
tail_all so you'll have something to watch while your app deploys.
When you see Deployed "your-knob.yml in the log, point a browser at
the following link (adjusted for your namespace) and you should see a
friendly welcome:
