Repo layout

../data - For persistent data (full path in environment var: OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR) .openshift/action_hooks/start - Script that gets run to start your application .openshift/action_hooks/stop - Script that gets run to stop your application .openshift/action_hooks/pre_build - Script that gets run every git push before the build .openshift/action_hooks/build - Script that gets run every git push as part of the build process (on the CI system if available) .openshift/action_hooks/deploy - Script that gets run every git push after build but before the app is restarted .openshift/action_hooks/post_deploy - Script that gets run every git push after the app is restarted

Notes about layout

Note: Every time you push, everything in your remote repo dir gets recreated please store long term items (like an sqlite database) in ../data which will persist between pushes of your repo.

Environment Variables

OpenShift provides several environment variables to reference for ease of use. The following list are some common variables but far from exhaustive:

$_ENV['OPENSHIFT_INTERNAL_IP']  - IP Address assigned to the application
$_ENV['OPENSHIFT_GEAR_NAME']  - Application name
$_ENV['OPENSHIFT_GEAR_DIR']   - Application dir
$_ENV['OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR']  - For persistent storage (between pushes)
$_ENV['OPENSHIFT_TMP_DIR']   - Temp storage (unmodified files deleted after 10 days)

To get a full list of environment variables, simply add a line in your .openshift/action_hooks/build script that says "export" and push.
