difio-dotcloud-python 2.6.1

Difio registartion agent for dotCloud / Python applications

This is a registration agent for Difio preconfigured for Python applications on DotCloud.

It compiles a list of locally installed Python packages and sends it to http://www.dif.io.

Installing on your dotCloud application

Create an account at http://www.dif.io

Create your Python application on dotCloud

Configure your Difio userID. You can get it from https://difio-otb.rhcloud.com/profiles/mine/.

dotcloud var set <app name> DIFIO_USER_ID=UserID

Generate a unique identifier for this application and save the value as environmental variable.

dotcloud var set <app name> DIFIO_UUID=`uuidgen`

Add a dependency in your requirements.txt file

echo difio-dotcloud-python >> requirements.txt

Enable the registration script in your postinstall hook. Note: If you are using an “approot” your postinstall script should be in the directory pointed by the “approot” directive of your dotcloud.yml. For more information about postinstall turn to http://docs.dotcloud.com/guides/postinstall/.

If a file named postinstall doesn’t already exist, create it and add the following:

#!/bin/sh
/home/dotcloud/env/bin/difio-dotcloud-python

Make postinstall executable

chmod a+x postinstall

Commit your changes (if using git):

git add .
git commit -m "enable Difio registration"

Then push your application to dotCloud

dotcloud push <app name>

If everything goes well you should see something like:

19:55:10 [www.0] Running postinstall script...
19:55:13 [www.0] response:200
19:55:13 [www.0] Difio: Success, registered/updated application with uuid ac5a3741-a564-4e59-aad2-3f51ea860521

That’s it, you can now check your application statistics at http://www.dif.io
