This module allows you to check if the process is executing OpenShift and, if so, to obtain information about the host IP and port you should bind on, your public DNS, and database connection information.

Usage

void connectToDb(String jdbcUrl, String user, String password){
    // ...
}

void startHttpServer(String ip, Integer port){
    // ...
}

shared void run(){
    if(openshift.running){
        if(openshift.ceylon.running){
            startHttpServer(openshift.ceylon.ip, openshift.ceylon.port);
    }else if(openshift.vertx.running){
        startHttpServer(openshift.vertx.ip, openshift.vertx.port);
    }else{
        // other cartridge?
    }
    if(openshift.postgres.running){
        connectToDb(openshift.postgres.jdbcUrl, openshift.postgres.user, openshift.postgres.password);
    }else if(openshift.mysql.running){
        connectToDb(openshift.mysql.jdbcUrl, openshift.mysql.user, openshift.mysql.password);
    }else{
        // other db?
    }
  }
}

CLI plugin usage

The CLI plugin will convert your application into an OpenShift application running on the Ceylon cartridge.

First, install the ceylon openshift command (you only need to do this once):

ceylon plugin install ceylon.openshift/1.3.3

Then to convert your Ceylon application into a Ceylon OpenShift application:

ceylon openshift init your.main.module/1.0

This will create the necessary setup files in the .openshift directory of your project, as described in the Ceylon cartridge help.

Now you're ready to start, so just publish your project to a Git repository, and create your OpenShift application with the Ceylon cartridge, using the rhc tool:

rhc create-app --from-code <your-git-url> ceylonapp https://raw.github.com/ceylon/openshift-cartridge/master/metadata/manifest.yml
