Re: ReviewBoard on OpenShift Express
Hey Stephen, Looks like an interesting project. I'll have to look into it more. However, I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't say that the absolute easiest way to get Review Board, with full support from us, is to use our new hosting service, RBCommons (http://www.rbcommons.com) ;) Christian On Mon, Sep 12, 2011 at 1:24 PM, Stephen Gallagher sgall...@redhat.comwrote: I don't know how many users on this list are familiar with OpenShift. This is a Red Hat-sponsored cloud service providing virtual applications. One of the popular applications selected for use as a demonstration of the power of OpenShift was ReviewBoard. I'd like to describe for you what I now believe to be the easiest way to get a ReviewBoard 1.6.1 server up and running with zero hardware investment. Oh, and did I mention that OpenShift Express is free (up to 10,000 files and 256MB of data). There are two caveats here: 1) The 10,000 file limit seems to be preventing upgrades of Django itself (which contains about 7,000 files). So when trying to unpack an upgrade of Django, it fails. I've spoken to the OpenShift developers and they're probably going to increase this limit for Django apps, but I don't have a firm timeline on that. 2) You need to bring your own SMTP server if you want email updates. Because the OpenShift servers exist in public clouds (I believe - but I'm not certain - it's Amazon's cloud) many email systems will deny email originating from cloud IPs. So you will need to set up an STMP server in a trusted network in order for your emails to reach their destinations.

Re: ReviewBoard on OpenShift Express
Oh, absolutely! OpenShift Express doesn't come with application support (and very limited platform support in the free version). I'm not trying to compete with rbcommons! Mostly I thought it might prove interesting to those admins having setup troubles (especially on Windows) On Sep 12, 2011 4:39 PM, Christian Hammond chip...@chipx86.com wrote: Hey Stephen, Looks like an interesting project.

Re: ReviewBoard on OpenShift Express
No that's great that you linked to it :) I just felt like taking the opportunity to mention RBCommons ;) Anything to help get people set up is helpful. On machines that RB supports well, it's easy, but yeah, Windows and other Linux distros can be a real pain.

I'm pretty excited about OpenShift (Red Hat's PaaS) and Cloud Foundry (VMware's PaaS). The open source Cloud Foundry supports Python/Django, but the hosted cloudfoundry.com doesn't yet. Thanks!
