A Twitter clone using Django and MongoDB to run on OpenShift express

Django-Mongo-Twt on OpenShift Express

This is a simple twitter clone along the lines of https://github.com/openshift/openshift-twt-mongo-demo

This project is intended to serve as a reasonable example for people who'd like to use Django + MongoDB on Express with MongoEngine.

The aim is to use MongoDB with Mongoengine, a convenient wrapper library over PyMongo that emulates most of the common Django functionality, including auth. The result is a familiar API for database access so that the switch to NoSQL MongoDB can be relatively painless for Django users.

Quickstart

1. Create an account at http://openshift.redhat.com/

2. Create a python application and attach mongodb to it:

   rhc app create -a twt -t python-2.6 rhc app cartridge add -a twt -c mongodb-2.0

3. Add this upstream repo

   cd twt git remote add upstream -m master git://github.com/yati-sagade/django-mongo-twt.git git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master

4. Then push the repo upstream

   git push

5. That's it, you can now browse to your application at:
