It is ugly openshift try this : http://forum-hamak.rhcloud.com:8000/ websockets only work on 8000 port for openshift

@psychobunny websockets are working but openshift performance is something beyond imagination, working with ssh takes years ! the "npm install" command took around 45 minutes to complete while on a normal 512MB 1core vps it is just around a minute.

Here is the link if anyone is interested in testing the performance (which is not very good but it is free) : http://forum-hamak.rhcloud.com/

I have successfully brought up NodeBB on openshift

I will write a tutorial soon but for those who are in hurry you need to specify port as 8080 and ip address as nodejs ip address (env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP).

I was talking to one of the openshift staff on IRC and he gave me some ideas, the 0.0.0.0 ip is forbidden in openshift, instead we should place the nodejs IP. i'm working on it and will post here later.

Hi everyone,

I was going to run nodebb on openshift, but there is a problem which i don't understand what is causing that.

There is nor problem in "npm install" and then nodebb setup and nodebb starts but in the log i see that everytime the procedure reaches to "NodeBB attempting to listen on: 0.0.0.0:4567" it just seems to get back to the beginning saying " NodeBB v0.4.1 Copyright (C) 2013 DesignCreatePlay Inc." and again the procedure goes on until it reaches the listen part and it loops for ever.

For those who may want to try nodebb on openshift , the default nodejs is v0.10.5 use this git when installing nodejs "/ramr/nodejs-custom-version-openshift" so you will have v0.10.25 which comes with right npm version for nodebb. also for installing redis use this cartridge : "/smarterclayton/openshift-redis-cart"
