Django on OpenShift Express

This git repository helps you get up and running quickly w/ a Django installation on OpenShift Express. The Django project name used in this repo is 'openshift' but you can feel free to change it. Right now the backend is sqlite3 and the database runtime is @ $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/sqlite3.db.

When you push this application up for the first time, the sqlite database is copied from wsgi/openshift/sqlite3.db. This is the stock database that is created when 'python manage.py syncdb' is run with only the admin app installed.

You can delete the database from your git repo after the first push (you probably should for security). On subsequent pushes, a 'python manage.py syncdb' is executed to make sure that any models you added are created in the DB. If you do anything that requires an alter table, you could add the alter statements in GIT_ROOT/.openshift/action_hooks/alter and then use GIT_ROOT/.openshift/action_hooks/build to execute that script (make susre to back up your database w/ rhc-snapshot first :) )

Running on OpenShift

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

Create a wsgi-3.2 application

rhc-create-app -a django -t wsgi-3.2

Add this upstream seambooking repo

cd django
git remote add upstream -m master git://github.com/openshift/django-example.git
git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master

Then push the repo upstream

git push

That's it, you can now checkout your application at (default admin account is admin/admin):
