This git repository is a sample Node application along with the "orchestration" bits to help you run the latest (or a custom) version of Node on Red Hat's OpenShift PaaS.

(Current) NodeJS Version: 4.2.6

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

Create a namespace, if you haven't already do so

rhc domain create <yournamespace>

Create a nodejs application (you can name it anything via -a, -t here is used to start with the default supported OpenShift nodejs application)

rhc app create -a node4  -t nodejs-0.10

Add this github nodejs-4-lts-openshift repository to the OpenShift git project remote

cd node4
git remote add github -m master https://github.com/h4t0n/nodejs-4-lts-openshift.git

Get updates from the remote with merge conflicts properly resolved (NB: don't run git pull github alone)

git pull -s recursive -X theirs github master

Push the updates coming from github nodejs-4-lts-openshift into the OpenShift git project.

git push

That's it, you can now checkout your application at:

http://node4-$yournamespace.rhcloud.com ( See env @ http://node-$yournamespace.rhcloud.com/env )

If you want another version of Node (example v0.12.x), you can change to that by just writing it to the end of the NODEJS_VERSION file and committing that change.

echo 0.12.7 >> .openshift/markers/NODEJS_VERSION
#
# Or alternatively, edit the .openshift/markers/NODEJS_VERSION file
# in your favorite editor aka vi ;^)
#
#
git commit . -m 'use Node version 0.12.7'

Then push the repo to OpenShift with git push

This repository is a fork of Ramr nodejs custom version. See it for documentation about Openshift hooks or if you want additional information.
