Deploying blog on OpenShift

1. Create Python2.7 application on openshift.
2. Add MySQL5.5 cartridge. Write down the db name.
3. Create ssh key on your local machine and add public key to your openshift app.
4. Fork this repo and clone to your local machine.
5. Add openshift as second remote repo:
   git remote add openshift ssh://ydfg8sdf6g8o7sbrtsogpdfgs@<my_app>.rhcloud.com/~/git/blog.git/
   
6. Open file itblog/itblog/settings.py and change db name on yours (from #2).
7. Open file itblog/credentials.py and past there your mail settings (I can't still add env vars on openshift - TODO).
8. There are two action hooks:

• .openshift/action_hooks/pre_start
• .openshift/action_hooks/post_start_mysql-5.5
  The second one syncs db and creates superuser. Remember superuser credentials and remove this line after first launch. You'll need to change superuser credentials in blog's dashboard.

9. Push your code to openshift: git push openshift master --force

For local development

1. Add the following environment variables to ~/.profile:
   export ADMIN_MAIL='[email protected]' # put your email address here
export ADMIN_PASS='pass' # put your email pass here
export SMTP_SERVER='smtp.gmail.com' # your smtp here
export SMTP_PORT='2525' # your smtp port
export ITBLOG_APP_HOST='127.0.0.1' # is using in itblog/runserver.sh
export ITBLOG_APP_PORT='8080' # is using in itblog/runserver.sh
   And source it:
   source ~/.profile

2. Create python virtual environment (http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs) and install requirements:
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   or
   pip install -r requirements/local.txt
   

requirements.txt file is used in production. For your extra packages you can use requirements/local.txt.
