oo-index

This package is a general-purpose stand-alone index of quickstarts and cartridges for the OpenShift hosting platform.

This repository contains two major components:

1. A basic user interface for browsing, searching, and launching open cloud compatible applications and services, built with help from Angular-js and Twitter bootstrap.
2. Default content for the index, which is loaded from the included quickstart.json file.

Host your own index

You can spin up your own hosted instance of this project on OpenShift Online in a single click, or use the rhc command line tool to help configure your local development environment and your OpenShift-hosted environment in a single step:

rhc app create index nodejs-0.10 --from-code=https://github.com/openshift/oo-index.git

Local Development

First, make sure that your npm dependencies are available:

npm install

Then, start a local web server:

npm start

The project source can be re-bundled by running:

npm run build

Additional scripts for assisting with development work are defined in the project's package.json file.
