Enterprise Java

Create WildFly OpenShift application using Command Line Tools

A new instance of WildFly can be easily provisioned on OpenShift by using the quick start. Just a single click, and you are ready to go!

Generally power users of OpenShift use Command Line Tools. However you could not create WildFly cartridge using the CLI tools. But bug# 1134134 is now resolved.

And so now rhc cartridge-list shows:

Note: Web cartridges can only be added to new applications.

(*) denotes a cartridge with additional usage costs.

(!) denotes a cartridge that will not receive automatic security updates.

The newly added cartridge of WildFly 8 is shown in bold.

And so now a new WildFly instance can be easily provisioned using the CLI as:

workspaces> rhc app-create mywildfly jboss-wildfly-8
Application Options
-------------------
Domain:     milestogo
Cartridges: jboss-wildfly-8
Gear Size:  default
Scaling:    no

Creating application 'mywildfly' ... Artifacts deployed: ./ROOT.war
done

  WildFly 8 administrator added.  Please make note of these credentials:

   Username: adminLWEMEdW
   Password: 9u6jpWuQU6hg
   
   run 'rhc port-forward mywildfly' to access the web admin area on port 9990.

Waiting for your DNS name to be available ... done

Cloning into 'mywildfly'...
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '54.163.104.22' to the list of known hosts.

Your application 'mywildfly' is now available.

  URL:        http://mywildfly-milestogo.rhcloud.com/
  SSH to:     545ac1d0e0b8cd8ad800018d@mywildfly-milestogo.rhcloud.com
  Git remote: ssh://545ac1d0e0b8cd8ad800018d@mywildfly-milestogo.rhcloud.com/~/git/mywildfly.git/
  Cloned to:  /Users/arungupta/workspaces/mywildfly

Run 'rhc show-app mywildfly' for more details about your app.

And then the application’s main page is accessible as shown:

techtip52-main-page

And the application can be deleted as:

workspaces> rhc app-delete mywildfly 
This is a non-reversible action! Your application code and data will be permanently deleted if you continue!

Are you sure you want to delete the application 'mywildfly'? (yes|no): yes

Deleting application 'mywildfly' ... deleted

Simple, isn’t it ?
