# Openshift Django quickstart
This project is meant to be forked and used to quickly deploy a Django web application to an [OpenShift](https://github.com/openshift/origin) cluster.
It assumes you have access to an existing OpenShift installation.
You can use this as a starting point to build your own application.
## Getting started
1. (optional) Create and activate a [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/) (you may want to use [virtualenvwrapper](http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org/)).
2. Fork this repo and clone your fork:
git clone https://github.com/rhcarvalho/openshift-django-quickstart.git
3. Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
4. If everything is alright, you should be able to start the Django development server:
./manage.py runserver
5. Open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8000, you will be greeted with a welcome page.
## What has been done for you
This is a minimal Django 1.8 project. It was created with these steps:
1. Create a virtualenv
2. Manually install requirements
3. `pip freeze > requirements.txt`
4. `django-admin startproject PROJECT_NAME .`
3. Manually update `project/settings.py` to configure `SECRET_KEY`, `DATABASE` and `STATIC_ROOT` entries.
