New App From Source Code

Build Strategy Detection

If new-app finds a Dockerfile in the repository, it uses docker build strategy Otherwise, new-app uses source strategy

To specify strategy, set --strategy flag to source or docker Example: To force new-app to use docker strategy for local source repository:

$ oc new-app /home/user/code/myapp --strategy=docker
  • to create a definition generated by oc new-app command based on S2I support
$ oc new-app https://github.com/openshift/simple-openshift-sinatra-sti.git -o json | \
   tee ~/simple-sinatra.json
  • To create application from MySQL image in Docker Hub:
$ oc new-app mysql
  • To create application from local registry:
$ oc new-app myregistry:5000/example/myimage

If the registry that the image comes from is not secured with SSL, cluster administrators must ensure that the Docker daemon on the OpenShift Enterprise nodes is run with the --insecure-registry flag pointing to that registry. You must also use the --insecure-registry=true flag to tell new-app that the image comes from an insecure registry.

  • To create application from stored template:
$ oc create -f examples/sample-app/application-template-stibuild.json
$ oc new-app ruby-helloworld-sample
  • To set environment variables when creating application for database image:
$ oc new-app openshift/postgresql-92-centos7 \
    -e POSTGRESQL_USER=user \
    -e POSTGRESQL_DATABASE=db \
    -e POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=password
  • To output new-app artifacts to file, edit them, then create them using oc create:
$ oc new-app https://github.com/openshift/ruby-hello-world -o json > myapp.json
$ vi myapp.json
$ oc create -f myapp.json
  • To deploy two images in single pod:
$ oc new-app nginx+mysql
  • To deploy together image built from source and external image:

    ruby~https://github.com/openshift/ruby-hello-world \
    mysql \
    --group=ruby+mysql
  • to export all the project's objects/resources as a single template:
$ oc export all --as-template=<template_name>

You can also substitute a particular resource type or multiple resources instead of all. Run $ oc export -h for more examples

  • to create a new project using oadm and defining an admin user
$ oadm new-project instant-app --display-name="instant app example project" \
    --description='A demonstration of an instant-app/template' \
    --node-selector='region=primary' --admin=andrew
  • to create an app using oc CLI based on a template
$ oc new-app --template=mysql-ephemeral --param=MYSQL_USER=mysqluser,MYSQL_PASSWORD=redhat,MYSQL_DATABASE=mydb,DATABASE_SERVICE_NAME=database
  • to see a list of env vars defined in a DeploymentConfig object
$ oc env dc database --list
# deploymentconfigs database, container mysql
MYSQL_USER=***
MYSQL_PASSWORD=***
MYSQL_DATABASE=***

  • to manage enviorenmet variables in different ose objects types.

The first adds, with value /data. The second updates, with value /opt.

$ oc env dc/registry STORAGE=/data
$ oc env dc/registry --overwrite STORAGE=/opt

To unset environment variables in the pod templates:

$ oc env <object-selection> KEY_1- ... KEY_N- [<common-options>]

The trailing hyphen (-, U+2D) is required.

This example removes environment variables ENV1 and ENV2 from deployment config d1:

$ oc env dc/d1 ENV1- ENV2-

This removes environment variable ENV from all replication controllers:

$ oc env rc --all ENV-

This removes environment variable ENV from container c1 for replication controller r1:

To list environment variables in pods or pod templates:

$ oc env rc r1 --containers='c1' ENV-

This example lists all environment variables for pod p1:

$ oc env <object-selection> --list [<common-options>]
$ oc env pod/p1 --list
  • to apply some change (patch)
oc patch dc/<dc_name> \
   -p '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"nodeSelector":{"nodeLabel":"logging-es-node-1"}}}}}'
  • to apply a vlome storage

  • to make a node unschedulable in a cluster
oadm manage node <nome do node > --schedulable=false

oc start-build build-from-docker --from-dir=. --follow

oc new-app app-from-custom-docker-build -l app=app-from-custom-docker-build

oc expose service app-from-custom-docker-build
  • to copy files to/from a POD

oc rsync /home/user/source devpod1234:/src

oc rsync devpod1234:/src /home/user/source

Cluster nodes CleanUp

  1. Desliga todos os containers que vc não tá usando no seu ambiente do openshift
  2. Executa em todos os nodes e master o comando: docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
  3. Remove todas as imagens de todos os nodes e master. Para isso loga em cada uma delas via ssh e remove as imagens usando docker rmi . Pega as imagens que começa com o ip do registry 172.30...
  4. configurar GC: https://docs.openshift.com/enterprise/3.1/admin_guide/garbage_collection.html

##Tips

  • internal DNS name of ose/kubernetes services
  • follows the pattern <service-name>.<project>.svc.cluster.local
Object Type Example
Default <pod_namespace>.cluster.local
Services .<pod_namespace>.svc.cluster.local
Endpoints ..endpoints.cluster.local

"he only caveat to this, is that if we are using the multi-tenant OVS networking plugin, our cluster administrators will have to make visible our ci project to all other projects:" Ref: https://blog.openshift.com/improving-build-time-java-builds-openshift/

$ oadm pod-network make-projects-global ci
  • Adjust Master Log Level To adjust openshift-master log level, edit following line of /etc/sysconfig/atomic-openshift-master from master VM:
OPTIONS=--loglevel=4

To make changes valid, restart atomic-openshift-master service:

$ sudo -i systemctl restart atomic-openshift-master.service

In node machine, to provide filtered information:

# journalctl -f -u atomic-openshift-node
  • Enable EAP clustering/replication

Make sure that your default service account has sufficient privileges to communicate with the Kubernetes REST API. Add the view role to serviceaccount for the project:

$ oc policy add-role-to-user view system:serviceaccount:$(oc project -q):default

Examine the first entry in the log file:

Service account has sufficient permissions to view pods in kubernetes (HTTP 200). Clustering will be available.

Creating a new Template

  • Common strategy for building template definitions:
  • Use oc new-app and oc expose to manually create resources application needs
  • Test to make sure resources work as expected
  • Use oc export with -o json option to export existing resource definitions
  • Merge resource definitions into template definition file
  • Add parameters
  • Test resource definition in another project

JSON syntax errors are not easy to identify, and OpenShift is sensitive to them, refusing JSON files that most browsers would accept as valid. Use jsonlint -s from the python-demjson package, available from EPEL, to identify syntax issues in a JSON resource definition file.

  • Use oc new-app with -o json option to bootstrap your new template definition file
oc new-app -o json openshift/hello-openshift > hello.json 
  • Converting the Resource Definition to a Template
  • Change kind attribute from List to Template
  • Make two changes to metadata object:
  • Add name attribute and value so template has name users can refer to
  • Add annotations containing description attribute for template, so users know what template is supposed to do.
  • Rename items array attribute as objects

Working with Templates

  • to list all parameters from mysql-persistent template:
$ oc process --parameters=true -n openshift mysql-persistent
  • Customizing resources from a preexisting Template

Example:

$ oc export -o json
	-n openshift mysql-ephemeral > mysql-ephemeral.json
... change the mysql-ephemeral.json file ...
$ oc process -f mysql-ephemeral.json \
	-v MYSQL_DATABASE=testdb,MYSQL_USE=testuser,MYSQL_PASSWORD=
	> testdb.json
$ oc create -f testdb.json

oc process uses the -v option to provide parameter values, while oc new-app command uses the -p option.
