OpenShift Origin installation notes
Having ran a local copy of OpenShift Origin using VirtualBox I decided to have a go at running it on a Digital Ocean Droplet running CentOS 6.5. This should be easy as there is an installer which claims;
You’re one shell command away from deploying your own Platform as a Service.
Well, sort of, after a few failed installs I finally managed it using the following (this assumes you are running a clean and minimal CentOS 6.5 installation)
yum update -yyum install -y http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpmcat > /etc/yum.repos.d/openshift-origin-deps.repo <<”EOF”[openshift-origin-deps]name=OpenShift Origin Dependencies — EL6baseurl=http://mirror.openshift.com/pub/origin-server/release/3/rhel-6/dependencies/x86_64gpgcheck=0EOFyum install -y ruby193-ruby vim-enhanced unzip curl puppet httpd-tools augeas bind bind-utilsvim /etc/selinux/config # DigitalOcean disable SELinux so change this to enabledreboot # Reboot to enable SELinuxscl enable ruby193 bash # Make sure that all Ruby is piped through the SCL installed Ruby 1.93 binarysh <(curl -s https://install.openshift.com/) # See notes below before answering any questions !!!rebootSo, the problem I was having with is that by default oo_install assumes you are running Fedora 19 and populates repos_base with http://mirror.openshift.com/pub/origin-server/release/3/fedora-19/ what the install instructions fail to say is that you need to replace this with http://mirror.openshift.com/pub/origin-server/release/3/rhel-6 when prompted about the subscription configuration oo_install will use for the deployment.
You can view the output of a full oo_install run through listed in this Gist.
So, if I had run through this on a Fedora 19 Droplet, would this have been any different? In short, yes;
yum update -yyum install -y ruby vim-enhanced unzip curl puppet httpd-tools augeas bind bind-utilsvim /etc/selinux/config # Change from disabled to enabledrebootsh <(curl -s https://install.openshift.com/)rebootThis is mostly because of Fedora is way ahead of RHEL 6 based installations, this however should all change shortly with the release of RHEL 7 and CentOS 7.
