Is it possible to deploy rainy on OPENSHIFT?

[khurshid-alam]

I wan to deploy it on open-shift as it only requires mono & sqlite. Is it possible?

If it can be done, can you create a new git repository with necessary code in it?

I think this would be cool, even maybe for AWS too! If someone else doesn't, I would like to.

I don't see a reason why it shouldn't run on openshift. As long as it is linux and you can install you own packages (mono) that should work.

Rainy uses Travis for CI, which basically does the same: Fire up an empty linux image, install all required packages and build rainy. The travis configuration might be a good starting point.

Discalimer: I have never used openshift and have no idea how to configure it.

Here is an example of the travis build output: https://travis-ci.org/Dynalon/Rainy/builds/26151115

@Dynalon Thanks. It's more trickier than I thought.

My goal is to create/have a QuickStart for openshift on github. I never deploy a mono-based app on openshift (only php) & trying to learn.

For making a QuickStart, the documentation can be found - here: https://www.openshift.com/developers/get-involved/creating-quickstarts & here: https://www.openshift.com/blogs/how-to-create-an-openshift-github-quick-start-project

Why exactly openshift and not docker ?

[khurshid-alam]

@Dynalon Yes, docker is cool. I do not have any personal preference here. Its just that I am more familiar with openshift.

But I think on docker it should be easy as it is just like a vm. In fact I have a long list of apps which I want to try on docker.
