Openshift Django quickstart

This project is meant to be forked and used to quickly deploy a Django web application to an OpenShift 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 (you may want to use virtualenvwrapper).

  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.
