Is there a way to migrate a server application (with its repository), to the new Next Gen Console?
I have already a WildFly server in my personal account at URL: https://openshift.redhat.com/app/console/applications
But when I open the Next Gen Console, it's empty, and suggest me to create new project with a new server.
https://console.preview.openshift.com/console/
Is there a way to avoid setting up everything again?
I would like to keep server configurations, git repository, and Jenkins app from my former OpenShift Web Console.
Sorry, there is no direct migration tool. The manner in which the systems works is quite different from an operational standpoint, but you are also potentially going to have to tweak how your application code is organised and configured. I would suggest you create a fresh application in the new version to learn more how they are different and then you can plan what you may need to do to migrate it. I would suggest making using of the Google Group for OpenShift if you have more questions as it provides a better forum for discussion.

I am a Ruby on Rails developer. I specialise in Point of Sale Systems. Recently, one of my customers found a way to copy my app with the DB structure and shared the app amongst his friends(theft/piracy).
How can I safeguard my app from being copied/duplicated/stollen? Can I compile my rails app so as to hide the source code?
I was also thinking about use a MAC address as one of the app sessions. This any developer can take out of the code. I thought of not installing MySQL Workbench so as to hide DB Structure, but anyone can reinstall it. What can I do secure my Rails app?
You don't distribute it as an on premises solution. You offer it as SaaS, on your own servers or the cloud.
If they only have access through the browser, they don't have access to the code and cannot copy it.
If the app is running on something they have access to, it's already lost. You can try to mitigate it through a confidentiality agreement or other contract, but that is going to be difficult to prove and enforce.
I'm not 100% sure if I'm on the correct section but i'll transfer the post once I know where it's supposed to be but I am looking for advice regarding web development, setting up a domain and hosting it.
I'm currently working on a personal project using Cloud9. Which is an online development environment where I can develop and host. The reason why I chose this is because it has MySQL usability as I retrieve and store data on the project I am working on.
I am now at the point where I want to get a domain and host a site to transfer my project over to a live website with my own domain which also has SQL/MySQL usability.
Any advice or where would be the best place to look up on methods of pursuing this?
Edit: I develop using PHP and JavaScript with MySQL
To start I would suggest heroku, they have a free option and some nice guides, depending on which server side language you use . This way you can get used to hosting some apps and doing deployments, seeing logs etc.
The database doesn't have to be on the same hosting necessarily, you can use mongolab for example.
For domain names it's a different thing, you will have to use the likes of godaddy
Why not setup your own VPS (Virtual Private Server)? There are many providers..
Design the software application with portability and avoid vendor lock-in to cloud services. For file transfer, there are FTP/FXP, zip/gzip, & version control standards like Git, CVS, SVN, etc. Use phpMyAdmin for the database export & import process to change web hosts. Otherwise, build a staging subdomain or a local development environment with copies of the original web app & use those to transfer files+DB to a new host for production.
We are looking for a way to use GitHub on an internal system that we are developing at work. We have developed it in PHP and MySQL, with a fair bit of jQuery/Ajax, on a Windows Server VM running IIS. Other staff can access the frontend over the network using the IP address.
There are currently three people working on it and at the moment we directly edit the file on the VM as we need it to still communicate with the database to check our changes have worked. There is no option to install anything like WAMP on our individual machines and there are the usual group policy restrictions so the only access we have to a database is via the VM. We have been working with copies of files/folders and the database but there is always the risk that then merging these would be a massive task.
I do use GitHub (mainly desktop but I can just about get by with using the command line as long as I have a list of the command in front of me) at home to sync between my PC and Laptop, via GitHub.com and believe that the issues we get with several people needing to update the same file would be eradicated by using it here at work.
However, there are some queries we need to ensure we have straight in our heads before putting forward a request.
Is what we are asking for viable? Can several branches on the same server be worked on at the same time or would this only work on an individual machine.
Given that our network is fairly restricted, is there any way that we can work on the files on our machine and connect to a VM hosted database? I believe that an IDE will allow us to run php files on a standard machine (although a request for Eclipse is now around 6 weeks old and there is still no confirmation that we will get it any time soon) but will this also allow .
The stuff we do is not overly sensitive but the company would certainly not want what we do out there in a public repository (and also would not be likely to pay for a premium GitHub account) so we would need to branch/pull/merge directly from our machines to the VM.
Does anyone have any advice/suggestions/solutions to this? Although GitHub would be a preferred option as I already use it, we are open to any suggestion that will allow three people, on different machines, simultaneously work on a central system while ensuring that we do not overwrite or affect each others stuff.
Setting up a git repo on Windows is not trivial and may require a fair bit of work. You can try using SVN it is fairly straight forward to install on windows and has a better learning curve than Git. I am not saying SVN is better/worse as compared to Git, it's much better suited to your needs. We have a similar setup and we use Tortoise SVN https://subversion.apache.org/ as a client. SVN also has branches and stuff.
SVN for server side repository https://subversion.apache.org/

1) It is possible to work on many branches and then merge them into a single branch. That's the preferred Git development way. You can do the same on SVN.
I need to make a development version of a cakePHP app with its own db so that a developer can work on it without disturbing the current users.
I thought it would be simple, I just copied the entire director /project to /project_dev and then copied the DB "project_db" to "project_db_dev". Then I went into /project_dev/config/database.php and changed the db to "project_db_dev".
When I went to see what I had done, I saw the app was still connecting to the same db, as if I'd changed nothing. I realized that the original folder name was referenced in /app/webroot/.htaccess so do I need to find/replace all instances of that folder name?
What steps should I follow to duplicate an existing cakePHP app?
You need to setup some kind of development lifecycle.
Generally speaking the developer shouldn't be doing any development on the server. The best way to handle it is locally using a stack of some kind such as Lamp (Linux, Apache, Mysql, PHP) switch out linux with other OS's. There are multiple cloud solution to these environments to such as Koding.com
Using something like Git for version control the developer can develop locally then push the code through to the server after is being thoroughly tested locally or on a dev server or some kind.
Keeping Dev work and Live work away from each other is key.
Could do with a bit more information.
If both databases are hosted on the same server and you have permission to access them both with the same user then all you have to do is change the name of the database in your database.php
If not you will also have to update the IP and any other additional settings port etc.

I'm developing a Sinatra and MySQL application. I'm using as development environment a Macbook Air and an iMac. The server runs on a FreeBSD VPS running unicorn behind nginx.
I'd like to somehow automate the whole procedure, I develop in both iMac and MBA. Depends on time I have free in the office (MBA) or time I spend writing code at home (iMac). I have setup MySQL on both macs.
I manually dump and restore the database in order to be able to test my application locally before making any change to the server.
I'd like to automate the process of: Syncing the MySQL database if possible, keep the code up-to-date to all locations without using cloud storage if possible.
Best Regards,
I think there are many ways to solve this problem.
So this is just on idea how to achieve this.
Create a git repo on your server and write a small shell script which sync your db from somewhere. This script can you trigger by a git hook http://git-scm.com/book/en/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks#Client-Side-Hooks
For your syncing script you may have a look at this -> https://github.com/xssnark/mysql-db-sync or I'm sure you find something.
