I'd like to create a build chain for open source projects I'm working on. I'm currently using github, travis and coveralls. This is working fine but I'd like to add some kind of static code analyze.
I was thinking about hosting SonarQube on openshift, but problem is that openshift does not allow remote connection to database.
I have come to following solutions, but none of them seems to be easy to achieve:
Any REST API for sonar that could be used instead of raw db access
Any alternative for sonar that could be hosted on openshift
Migrate from travis to jenkins hosted on openshift and use this
Any other (free) alternative to openshift which would allow raw db access
Any other option
1 would be an ideal solution but I've searched all sonar plugins I could find and haven't found any :/
Am I missing something? There is no easy way to host sonar without exposing db access?
It looks like at least one person has gotten SonarQube running on OpenShift using the DIY cartridge:

I was able to get SonarQube to start following those instructions.
EDIT: databases in OpenShift applications are only exposed publicly in scaled applications. You will want to create your sonar app with the -s option if you need to populate your database from outside OpenShift.

I'm building an application in Python and using GitHub Actions to automate the testing 'on push'. However, I now want to connect my app to an existing MySql database.
From searching the Marketplace, Google and YouTube, I can see the following options:
use the MySql supplied with the GitHub Actions' Ubuntu virtual environment
setup a new MySql dB inside the GitHub Actions VM.
Setup MySql inside a Docker container and connect to it from another Docker container containing my app.
What I can't see is how to connect out of the GitHub Actions VM to an existing database on my network. Is it possible and should I expect to see a pre-built action to do this in the Marketplace.
Sorry for such an obtuse question: old, out-of-date programmer new to both CI/CD and containerisation. Thank you.
Have anyone deployed Spring Boot app to DigitalOcean droplet?
I have previously created app on Heroku.com, where I also ordered MySQL Database and deployed my Web API. Due to performance issues, I want to transfer my Spring Boot app to DigitalOcean, but there is a problem: I still want to use DB I ordered on Heroku. I have all the required credentials, but can't find a way to connect my droplet. In Heroku, there is very simple way to do that, all I need to do is to change config variable DATABASE_URL, but here I cannot find the same. I hope you understand my problem and provide simple solution.
Thank You in advance!
What you need is called Environment Variables, here is the docs from DO.
Specify app-level variables on the Environment screen when creating an app. For existing apps, go to the Apps section of the DigitalOcean Control Panel. Click your app, then click the Settings tab. Next to the App-Level Environment Variables heading, click the Edit link.

As far as I know, while deploying your web application on Heroku (from github) you need to provide a requirement.txt file so that every library which is used can be installed. But you cannot install MySQL like that. I've used python and streamlit to create a web application. I used MySQL to store data. I don't want the local machine's data to be exported but want to store the data when it is deployed as web app and someone fill in the details (it's basically a Student DBMS).
How can I deploy such a web application that uses MySQL on heroku ?
I've read some docs and look around and found that PostgreSQL is more suitable but I want to use MySQL because this is school project.
Heroku has a add-ons called ClearDB for Mysql

I have a project with a Flask backend and Vue frontend. I want to deploy it to Heroku but using my own MySQL database from my own MySQL server, without using Heroku's dynos.
Is this possible?
That depends what you mean by
my own MySQL database from my own MySQL server, without using Heroku's dynos
If your MySQL server is accessible from the Internet, sure. Just point your application at it.
(Note that using one of Heroku's database addons does not mean using dynos. These services run as hosted services on the cloud, not on your dynos. JawsDB and ClearDB are both options and both have free tiers.)
If you're talking about something running inside a firewall, e.g. on your laptop, then this won't be possible without doing a bunch of network stuff. It's possible but I strongly urge you not to do this. It's easy to create security issues.
I am developing a desktop app and I want to store data in hosted database like MySQL/MongoDB. I know one solution is using webservice to manipulate db. I am wondering is there a way to connect desktop app with hosted db directly.
I am using OpenShift I know I can use port-forward to do this. But it's unpractical to open port forward every time for every PC. So is a way simply like this:
mongoose.connect('mongodb://user:pass#host:port/db');
I tried this but I got 'connect refused' or 'connect not found' errors. OpenShift doesn't allow external access to database directly because security issues, right? Then how could I do it without port-forward?
Also I read some articles about SSH, is it possible to use SSH to access db directly when desktop app is launched?
Thanks for any suggestion.
I don't think OpenShift is going to be a good fit for what you are trying to do, unless you decide to build a service layer between your desktop app and the database. It sounds like you are looking for a Database As A Service. You mentioned both MongoDB and MySQL. MongoLab is a good MongoDB DBaaS option. For other databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL and several others you could look at Amazon RDS.
