Run an OpenShift based + Python 2.7 in a Docker container

I've just pushed a new "github-hosted" project : openshift-py

The purpose of this repository is to help in the creation of a simple #Docker container to run a Python2.7 + Flask application for #Openshift.

With the container, you can simply deploy your "work in progress" Openshift application in a docker container to test it, or to pre-deploy it. When you're done, "git push" and the application will run on your Openshift instance.

Running on Docker

Install Docker: http://docker.io

Create an account at https://www.openshift.com

Create a python application

rhc app create myflaskapp python-2.7

Add this upstream flask repo

cd myflaskapp  
git remote add upstream -m master https://github.com/lrivallain/openshift-py.git
git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master

Then build container image

docker build -q -t lrivallain/openshift-py2.7 .

or get the same image from docker public repository: lrivallain/openshift-py2.7

docker pull lrivallain/openshift-py2.7

And run a container based on this image

docker run -v `pwd`:/data -p 8080:8080 -ti lrivallain/openshift-py2.7

That's it, you can now checkout your application at:

http://127.0.0.1:8080

Running on Openshift

Push change to openshift

git push

That's it, you can now checkout your application at:

http://myflaskapp-$yournamespace.rhcloud.com

Python 2.6

If you prefer to run a docker container for Openshift + Python 2.6 + Flask:

Follow the previous steps, but build container image from python 2.6 Dockerfile:

cd py-2.6
docker build -q -t lrivallain/openshift-py2.6 .

or get the same image from docker public repository: lrivallain/openshift-py2.6

docker pull lrivallain/openshift-py2.6

And run a container based on this image

docker run -v `pwd`:/data -p 8080:8080 -ti lrivallain/openshift-py2.6
