WebSockets on OpenShift (Moksha in the Cloud)

Jan 07, 2013 | categories: python, fedora, moksha, openshift View Comments

I've been waiting on the OpenShift team to crack the WebSocket nut for a while and they finally got it back in December. To try it out, I tried to set up the Moksha Demo Dashboard on two different gears.

It wasn't too tricky. I created two OpenShift "DIY"-type apps, one for the WSGI app and another for the WebSocket server (the moksha-hub). All the work in those two repos is done in the .openshift/action_hooks directories (the code is actually just installed from PyPI). Additionally, the diy/development.ini files hold all the configuration.

It's live now at http://mokshademo-threebean.rhcloud.com/ but it's our same demo as before. Other apps still in the development pipeline should be more interesting when they arrive.
