I started with the Aerogear quickstart cartridge. Now I want to take a snapshot to edit the bin/control file, as I have no permission on this if I ssh into the cartridge.
The problem is that the file in aerogear-push/bin/control is not restored and stays the same old file after I do a rhc snapshot restore.
I have to change the control file as the file needs to be changed for the upcoming openshift update on 15th September..
Any hints?
Kind regards
The reason the restore isn't overwriting those files with the new fixes is because the restore isn't being done as root and therefore those bin files won't be overwritten. If you're wanting to update your application because of the changes being made, I would suggest running the rhc app create <newappname> --from-app <current app name> to essentially clone your application but re-deploy with the latest cartridge updates.

I am using phpstorm 7 on my windows host for a git project. The files are synced with a VM via phpstorm's remote server feature, so each time a save is made, the changed file is also upoloaded to my VM.
I am having difficulties when I am pulling newer versions from Git because the only way to send the changed files to my VM is to upload a full copy of the project via phpstorm. Or of course I can send them individually but it also takes too much effort.
So my question is if there is a feature or plugin for phpstorm which automatically uploads only the changed files after a git checkout.
Thank you!
You can :
sync src code with option deployement to delete the file that no existing in target location
create a external tools for sync
create macro that launch a git pull and after launch a sync
create external tools for sync AND others for pulling git branch
When you create a macro or external tools don't forget that you can launch those with a shortcut.
Steps To Replicate
On Windows 8.
In shell (with SSH connection active):
rhc snapshot save [appname]
Error
No system SSH available. Please use the --ssh option to specify the path to your SSH executable, or install SSH.
Suggested Solution
From this post:
Usage: rhc snapshot-save <application> [--filepath FILE] [--ssh path_to_ssh_executable]
Pass '--help' to see the full list of options
Question
The path to keys on PC is:
C:\Users\[name]\.ssh
How do I define this in the rhc snaphot command?
Solution
rhc snapshot save [appname] --filepath FILE --ssh "C:\Users\[name]\.ssh"
This will show the message:
Pulling down a snapshot of application '[appname]' to FILE ...
... then after a while
Pulling down a snapshot of application '[appname]' to FILE ... DONE
Update
That saved the backup in a file called "FILE" without an extension, so I'm guessing in the future I should define the filename as something like "my_app_backup.tar.gz" ie:
rhc snapshot save [appname] --filepath "my_app_backup.tar.gz" --ssh "C:\Users\[name]\.ssh"
It will save in the repo directory, so make sure you move it out of this directory before you git add, commit, push etc, otherwise you will upload your backup too.
I have an application in Openshift free plan with only one gear. I want to change it to scalabe and take usage of all of 3 free gears.
I read this blog post from openshift and I found that there is a way to do it. I should clone my current application to a new one as a scalable which will use the 2 remaining gears and then I will delete the original application. Thus, the new one will have 3 free gears.
The way that blog suggest is: rhc create-app <clone> --from-app <existing> --scaling
I have the following error: invalid option --from-app
Update
After running the command gem update rhc, I don't have the error above but...A new application with the given name has created with the same starting package (Python 2.7) just like the existing one, but all the files are missing. It actually create a blank application and not a clone of the existing.
Update 2
Here is the structure of the folder:
-.git
-.openshift
-wsgi
---static
---views
---application
---main.py
-requirements.txt
-setup.py
From what we've talked on IRC, your problem was around missing SSH configuration on Windows machine:
Creating application xxx ... done
Waiting for your DNS name to be available ...done
Setting deployment configuration ... done
No system SSH available. Please use the --ssh option to specify the path to your SSH executable, or install SSH.
I've double checked it, and it appears to be working without any problem.
The only requirement is to have the latest rhc client and putty or any other
SSH client. I'd recommend going through this tutorial once again and double-check everything to make sure everything is working properly.
Make sure you are using the newest version of the rhc gem with "gem update rhc" to make sure that you have access to that feature from the command line.
The --from-app will essentially do a 'rhc snapshot save & snapshot restore` (amoung other things) as you can see here from the source:
if from_app
say "Setting deployment configuration ... "
rest_app.configure({:auto_deploy => from_app.auto_deploy, :keep_deployments => from_app.keep_deployments , :deployment_branch => from_app.deployment_branch, :deployment_type => from_app.deployment_type})
success 'done'
snapshot_filename = temporary_snapshot_filename(from_app.name)
save_snapshot(from_app, snapshot_filename)
restore_snapshot(rest_app, snapshot_filename)
File.delete(snapshot_filename) if File.exist?(snapshot_filename)
paragraph { warn "The application '#{from_app.name}' has aliases set which were not copied. Please configure the aliases of your new application manually." } unless from_app.aliases.empty?
end
However this will not copy over anything in your $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR directory so if you're storing files there, you'll need to copy them over manually.
I have tried to setup a simple cron job running on openshift but once I have pushed the file to openshift and then login and search for the file it does not seem to be there and there is not log output.
I created an application from: https://github.com/smarterclayton/openshift-go-cart
I then installed the cron 1.4 cartridge.
I created a file at .openshift/cron/minutely/awesome_job and set it as 755
I added the following contents:
#! /bin/bash
date > $OPENSHIFT_LOG_DIR/last_date_cron_ran
I pushed to the server
Logged in via ssh and run find /var/lib/openshift/53760892e0b8cdb5e9000b22 -name awesome_job for which it finds nothing.
Any ideas which might help as I am at loss why is it not working.
Make sure the execution bit is set on your cron file.
The issue was not with cron but with the golang cartridge I was using which was removing the .openshift directory.
https://github.com/smarterclayton/openshift-go-cart/issues/10
You should also put a file named "jobs.allow" under your .openshift/cron/minutely/. So your cron jobs will be executed.
For your ref: https://forums.openshift.com/daily-cron-jobs-not-getting-triggered-automatically
And the reason you can find your awesome_job vis ssh login is because it is under /var/lib/openshift/53760892e0b8cdb5e9000b22/app-root/runtime/repo/.openshift, so the command find does not search any files under folders named with . prefixed.
I am trying to move an old Wordpress install to Openshift.
So I setup two gears, one running MySQL (Gear #1) and the other is setup to be a scalable PHP5 gear (Gear #2). I have manually restored the database data to Gear #1 and manually restored original Wordpress files in Gear #2 under ~/app-root/runtime/repo. The app is running fine now with everything in place.
However, when I try to raise the max number of scalable PHP5 gears from 1 to 2, the app stopped working and showing only the default gear landing page, just like what an empty gear would show. Setting maximum scalable gears back to 1 then the app would work again.
Is it true that the Wordpress files (or any other PHP or web files under ~/app-root/runtime/repo) must be checked in with Git in Gear #2, in order for scaling up to Gear #3+ to work properly? If so, is there anyway I can check-in the files that I already have in Gear #2 from within itself? If not, how can I check-in the set of files that I already have from the old Wordpress install?
Thank you for your help in advance!
Cheers,
KC
If you want to get the files on your web gear into git you have two options:
1.) SSH or SFTP into your gear and copy the files to your local workstation, then clone your git repo to your local machine, and copy the files into it, git commit & git push. Then your files will be deployed properly.
2.) SSH into your gear, initialize a git repo in your app-root/repo folder, and then setup your git repo in that gear (the one openshift created) as a remote and add/commit/push your files, then you can do a clone on your local workstation and a push and everything should deploy correctly.
I spoke with operations about this:
We do an rsync from the app-deployments directory, which are the files that were in git. So it does seem at this point that git must be used for scaled applications to work correctly. Please add your use case to http://openshift.com/ideas
