How to run your Spring Boot application on OpenShift? Spring Boot documentation is currently outdated, so I created this howto. Configuration files use "openshift" Spring and Maven profile. I think that it's very useful. If you don't use Spring and/or Maven profiles, you can leave the files as it is. If you have differently named profiles (like "prod" or "Production" etc.), just simply change the files.
First create a DIY application:
rhc app create OPENSHIFT_APPLICATION_NAME diy-0.1
You will get GIT_REMOTE_URL.
Copy to your application .openshift directory and call:
git remote add openshift -f GIT_REMOTE_URL
Add these files:
.openshift/action_hooks/build:
#!/bin/bash cd $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR mvn clean package -P openshift -s .openshift/settings.xml -DskipTests=true
.openshift/action_hooks/start:
#!/bin/bash
cd $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR
nohup java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=openshift target/*.jar --server.port=${OPENSHIFT_DIY_PORT} --server.address=${OPENSHIFT_DIY_IP} &
.openshift/action_hooks/stop:
#!/bin/bash
source $OPENSHIFT_CARTRIDGE_SDK_BASH
PID=$(ps -ef | grep java.*\.jar | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }')
if [ -z "$PID" ]
then
client_result "Application is already stopped"
else
kill $PID
fi
.openshift/settings.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
<localRepository>$OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR</localRepository>
</settings>
And finally call:
git update-index --chmod=+x .openshift/action_hooks/build git update-index --chmod=+x .openshift/action_hooks/start git update-index --chmod=+x .openshift/action_hooks/stop git add . git commit -m "moved to openshift" git push -f openshift master:master
EDIT: Just made a GitHub repo with a sample application which contains all these steps: https://github.com/jirkapinkas/spring-boot-openshift
