Upsilon on a OpenShift 3 environment
Upsilon can be deployed quite easily on top of OpenShift 3 - all it’s services dockerized/containerized. You can scale-out of the OpenShift environment and deploy upsilon-drone and other services outside too.
This article assumes you have a OpenShift 3 environment up and running, and have a fairly reasonable quota.
Create a OpenShift project for Upsilon
Call it anything you like!
Upload the Upsilon application template to OpenShift
There is a pre-built Upsilon application template for OpenShift, stored in a GitHub repository called upsilon-on-openshift.
user@host$:
mkdir upsilon-sandbox && cd upsilon-sandbox
user@host$:
git clone https://github.com/upsilonproject/upsilon-on-openshift.git
user@host$:
cd upsilon-on-openshift
Login to OpenShift using the command line tool and upload the application
template.
user@host$:
oc new-project upsilon-on-openshift
user@host$:
oc status
In project Upsilon on OpenShift (upsilon-on-openshift) on server https://openshift.example.com:8443
You have no services, deployment configs, or build configs.
Run 'oc new-app' to create an application.
user@host$:
oc create -f upsilon-on-openshift.yaml
....
The application template should complete successfully, and you should be able to browse and find Upsilon in the OpenShift catalog;
You can change some of the deployment options before starting the deployment, but the defaults are fine.
Import the schema and the initial database
From this overview screen, you’ll want to wait for the upsilon-web pod to come up sucessfully. This may take a couple of minutes.
Create the initial database using the create-database script.
user@host$:
cd /usr/share/upsilon-database/mysql/
user@host$:
./create-database
Go to the web application
Click on the upsilon-web route to upsilon-web-installer.
