Just want to clarify, A gear is like a VM and if it got all the libraries and tools required to run Node.js 0.10, then you can say you are running 'nodejs-0.10' cartridge in that gear. OpenShift provides 3 free gears and you have lot of cartridges to run on those 3 gears like 'ruby-1.9', 'php-5.4', 'perl-5.10', 'mysql-5.5', 'mongodb-2.4','haproxy-1.4' etc., Apart from git, you have to install rhc (red hat client) to manage your openshift activities through commandline. rhc is a ruby app can be installed using gems. Well, this is one of the place where you can have your own website without spending money. I have mine. https://mohan43uweb-silentcrooks.rhcloud.com PS: apart from openshift, there are lot of paas providers, this link explains better (notable are heroku, appfog) http://www.tomsitpro.com/articles/paas-providers,1-1517.html Thanks, Mohan R _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
