About this Openshift Origin LiveCD

OpenShift Origin contains the open-source components that power OpenShift. Source code and documentation for these components is available at https://github.com/openshift/crankcase

The image contains 5 sets of components:
  1. Broker: Central service exposing a REST API for consumers and coordinating with the application containers (known as nodes).
  2. Messaging System: A pluggable communication pipeline component for facilitating communication between broker and each node.
  3. User Authentication: A pluggable user authentication component with a default MongoDB implementation.
  4. Domain Name Management: A pluggable user authentication component that provides DNS management.
  5. Cartridges: Management wrappers around software runtimes that will be enabled in both this runtime and the service offering.

Get Started with the OpenShift Origin

1. Create a domain name

Using your OpenShift Origin login and password, call rhc domain create to create a unique domain name for your applications.

Note: A login with the username 'admin' and password 'admin' has been created for you.
Additional logins can be created using the ss-create-user command:
    su -c "ss-create-user -u<username> -p<password>"

$ rhc domain create -n mydomain -l admin
Password: admin

2. Create your first application

Now you can create an application. 

$ rhc app create -a myapp -t php-5.3
Password: admin

This will create a remote git repository for your application, and clone it locally in your current directory.

3. Make a change, publish

Now that you have created a template application, here's how to update it with your content. Here's an example for the php framework. 

$ cd myapp
$ vim php/index.php
(Make a change...  :wq)
$ git commit -a -m "My first change"
$ git push

Use whichever IDE or editor works best for you. Chances are, it'll have git support.

Now, check your URL - your change will be live.
