Hi there, I’m trying to install OpenProject on OpenShift (https://www.openshift.com/) but I’m having difficulties in understanding the process. I’ve managed to create an OpenShift application and SSH into the domain, however I don’t have permissions to download the zip file / create the folder as in the instructions.

I have to mention that my GIT/Ruby/Openshift knowledge is very limited.

Has anyone tried this before? Can you tell me if it’s possible and how?

Thanks!

Hello!

I am also interested in installing openproject in openshift. Have you succeded?

My experience is: I have followed the instructions in installing page, however I get stack in setting up database, because provided script is made for local databases, and openshift one is not local but remote.

Thanks.

Hello!

For Juan Perez, you can create the databases manually and then proceed with the install from the “migrate” step.

Neither am I an expert on GIT/Ruby but here are the steps I followed to create and deploy Openproject on Openshift.

These two are straightforward:

rhc app create YourApp ruby-1.9
rhc cartridge add -a YourApp -c mysql-5.5

Then ssh into YourApp and follow these steps:

$ cd app-root/runtime/repo
$ git init
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/opf/openproject.git
$ git fetch
$ git checkout -t origin/master

You can refer to the openproject installation guides for the rest of the process.

I hope this helps.

Hi, it's a long time ago that you had these issues. I am writing, because I also wanted to get OpenProject run on an OpenShift cluster. I collected my efforts in this Github repository:
