Sentry on OpenShift

A http://github.com/dcramer/sentry quickstart project for Red Hat(c) OpenShift(c).

-

Requirements

• An Openshift account, with at least 3 gears available on the free PaaS https://openshift.redhat.com
• Openshift command-line tools: https://www.openshift.com/get-started#cli
• Git SCM: http://git-scm.com

Features

• Python 2.7 scalable Openshift cartridge
• Django staticfiles support
• Django Database caching
• Django security unique secret key based on created instance

Deploying to Openshift

Create some local environment variables for being DRY

Replace MyOpenshiftNamespace with your chosen namespace. You can edit your namespace at https://openshift.redhat.com/app/console/settings (domain section)

Replace APP_NAME's value with your chosen app name. I've chosen sentryweb for this example.

$ export QUICKSTART_URL=git@github.com:zemanel/openshift-sentry-quickstart.git
$ export APP_NAME=sentryweb
$ export APP_NAMESPACE=MyOpenshiftNamespace

Create Openshift application with Python 2.7, MongoDB 2.4, Postgres 8.4 cartridges, enabling scaling

$ rhc app create --scaling $APP_NAME python-2.7 mongodb-2.4 postgresql-8.4

Merge the quickstart repo with the git repo created by the Openshift client

$ cd $APP_NAME
$ git remote add upstream -m master $QUICKSTART_URL
$ git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master
$ git push origin

The project will be deployed to the remote application instance and if everything works as intended, you will be able to access your Sentry instance at:

https://APP_NAME-APP_NAMESPACE.rhcloud.com

Managing your Sentry application

Executing management commands

Django management commands, as creating superusers, can be ran by using SSH:

# SSH into the application
$ rhc app ssh $APP_NAME

# Activate the virtualenv
$ source ${OPENSHIFT_HOMEDIR}python/virtenv/bin/activate

# List available Django commands
$ sentry --config=${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/sentry.conf.py help

Creating a new user

Since new account registration is disabled by default on the Sentry Openshift setttings, a Django user account can be created by using the createsuperuser command :

$ sentry --config=${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/sentry.conf.py createsuperuser

You can now login with the account your created at

https://APP_NAME-APP_NAMESPACE.rhcloud.com

and configure your new Sentry !

Django administration is also available at

https://APP_NAME-APP_NAMESPACE.rhcloud.com/admin/
