OpenShift#
Table of Contents
After a failed attempt to run a local cloudfoundry instance with bosh-lite
, because my laptop only has 4 GB memory, I started to check out running OpenShift on my own box.
This can be done by running OpenShift origin as a VirtualBox guest.
I also want to try and get the WebSphere Liberty Profile cartridge working.

Install VirtualBox and setup the openshift VM.#
First install VirtualBox and then install the prebuilt openshift origin as described in the OpenShift Origin Virtual Machine Deployment Guide. Make sure to set the first network interface to bridging (instead of adding a second interface as described in the doc).
The web console is available at https://10.0.0.171/console, there you can upload your public SSH key, which you need when git-cloning your app.
Set up client tools#
The next thing is installing the client tool , rhc. This can be done with gem install rhc. You do have to setup ruby: sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-gems.
