MoinMoin on OpenShift

This git repository helps you get up and running quickly with a single Wiki installation of MoinMoin on OpenShift.

Quickstart

Create an account at http://openshift.redhat.com/

Create a python-2.6 application

rhc app create -a moinmoin -t python-2.6

Add this upstream repo

cd moinmoin
git remote add upstream -m master git://github.com/EddyRespondek/moinmoin-openshift-example.git
git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master

Then push the repo upstream

git push

That's it, you can now checkout your application at:

http://moinmoin-$yournamespace.rhcloud.com

What's going on?

MoinMoin uses a file-system based data storage backend rather than a tradition SQL database. When you push this application up for the first time the base data files are copied to Openshift's data directory for persistent storage.

A quirk of MoinMoin is that plugins are also kept in the same data directory mentioned previously, which isn't very handy since you'll more than likely want to modify these files to create custom themes, etc. A copy of the plugins directory has been placed in ~/moinmoin/repo/wsgi/plugin and will overwrite the plugin folder in the data directory everytime the application is pushed up.

All of MoinMoin's default static files have been moved to ~/moinmoin/repo/wsgi/static.

An example MoinMoin logging configuration file has also been added and can be found in ~/moinmoin/repo/wsgi/logging. The resulting log file is located in Openshifts log directory and can be viewed using Openshift's rhc client using the tail command.
