Installing on your OpenShift application

Create an account at <http://www.dif.io>

Create a Python application on OpenShift

rhc-create-app -a myapp -t python-2.6

Add a dependency in your setup.py file

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    name='MyApplication',
    version='1.0',
    install_requires=['difio-openshift-python'],
 )

Set your userID in the ./data/DIFIO_SETTINGS file

cd ./myapp/
echo "export DIFIO_USER_ID=YourUserID" > ./data/DIFIO_SETTINGS

OpenShift by default will treat your application as a package. If the name given in setup.py is different from the name passed to rhc-create-app command then set the application name in the ./data/DIFIO_SETTINGS file

echo "export DIFIO_APP_NAME='MyApplication'" >> ./data/DIFIO_SETTINGS

This registration script will ignore package names that match the value of OPENSHIFT_GEAR_NAME and DIFIO_APP_NAME environment variables.

Enable the registration script in .openshift/action_hooks/post_deploy

# Activate VirtualEnv in order to use the correct libraries
source $OPENSHIFT_GEAR_DIR/virtenv/bin/activate

# Set user defined settings
source $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR/data/DIFIO_SETTINGS

# Register/update the application
python $OPENSHIFT_GEAR_DIR/virtenv/bin/difio-openshift-python

Then push your application to OpenShift

git push

That’s it, you can now check your application statistics at <http://www.dif.io>
