Hi Aurelien, If you do try the BaseXHTTP server route on OpenShift, rather than the WAR packaging, this repo may help https://github.com/Quodatum/openshift-basex-quick-start. By default just RESTXQ is enabled but it is easy to re-able REST and or Webdav. This uses the OpenShift data directory to provide persistence across restarts.
