This package provides everything you need to start hosting Common Lisp-based web applications on OpenShift, Red Hat's free, auto-scaling Platform as a Service (PaaS) cloud solution.
The default app template uses SBCL and a quicklisp-based dev platform with the hunchentoot web server.
lisp-openshift will auto-provision a lisp environment into your DIY
OpenShift project. It does this by downloading and extracting the
contents of the SBCL RPM package from the Fedora Project's Extra
Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. This package is
installed in your application's persistent data directory.
Create an account at http://openshift.redhat.com/
Install your commant line tools as instructed at https://www.openshift.com/get-started#cli
Create a DIY application
rhc app create -a myapp -t diy-0.1
Add this upstream lisp-openshift repo
cd myapp
git remote add upstream -m master git://github.com/atgreen/lisp-openshift.git
git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master
Then push the repo upstream
git push
That's it! You can now have a look at your application here:
http://myapp-$namespace.rhcloud.com

Quicklisp is a library manager for Common Lisp. This project contains a Quicklisp repository of core packages for simple web applications, however, the upstream Quicklisp project hosts over 700 libraries.
To install more libraries into your project's repository, simply cd
into the top level of your project (this directory), start sbcl with
your HOME set to the current directory, and use ql:quickload as
usual.
$ HOME=`pwd` sbcl
This is SBCL 1.0.51-1.fc16, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.
SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely no warranty.
It is mostly in the public domain; some portions are provided under
BSD-style licenses. See the CREDITS and COPYING files in the
distribution for more information.
* (ql:quickload :cl-mongo)
This would add the cl-mongo package to your application.
