This is an OpenShift DIY cartridge that sets up news.arc on a diy app.

Follow these instructions to install it, based on RayRacine's code at github.com/RayRacine/rackos

1. Create an account on OpenShift.
2. Use their console to create an application, say named "test".

• The console shows you that you have a git repo, and a URL for your app.
• e.g., git clone ssh://<long number here>@test-<namespace>.rhcloud.com/~/git/test.git/
• and http://test-\.rhcloud.com

1. Clone your OpenShift repo on your laptop or whatever in say /code

• cd /code
• git clone ssh://<long number here>@test-<namespace>.rhcloud.com/~/git/test.git/
• cd /code/test
• Now in your locally cloned repo.

1. Add my repository with the scripts.

• git remote add rackos git://github.com/shader/arc-openshift.git

1. Fetch it down and merge it.

• git fetch arc-openshift
• git merge --ff arc-openshift/master

1. There is a hidden directory .openshift/action_hooks.

• If you read the OpenShift docs or the README for this project you'll see that basically that these hooks scripts are what drives OpenShift's DIY cartridge.
• A key script is the pre_build which is called when a push to your remote OpenShift repo occurs.
• pre_build checks to see if local copies of Racket and anarki are installed. If not they will be download and installed in the data directory. The post-deploy hook then starts the news.arc server.

1. That's it. Test it by hitting it in your browser. Here is mine http://test-shader.rhcloud.com
2. Further reading of the OpenShift doc explains how to use your personal domain in lieu of the rhcloud.com domain.

Next Steps.

Edit your code locally. Test run it locally or don't. When ready, commit and push it OpenShift and the scripts will automatically stop/start the server with the new changes.
