Chapter 3. Deploying applications with OpenShift Client


You can use OpenShift Client (oc) for application deployment. You can deploy applications from source or from binary artifacts.

3.1. Deploying applications from source using oc

The following example demonstrates how to deploy the example-app application using oc, which is in the app folder on the dotnet-8.0 branch of the redhat-developer/s2i-dotnetcore-ex GitHub repository:

Procedure

  1. Create a new OpenShift project:

    $ oc new-project sample-project
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Add the ASP.NET Core application:

    $ oc new-app --name=example-app 'dotnet:8.0-ubi8~https://github.com/redhat-developer/s2i-dotnetcore-ex#dotnet-8.0' --build-env DOTNET_STARTUP_PROJECT=app
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Track the progress of the build:

    $ oc logs -f bc/example-app
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  4. View the deployed application once the build is finished:

    $ oc logs -f dc/example-app
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    The application is now accessible within the project.

  5. Optional: Make the project accessible externally:

    $ oc expose svc/example-app
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  6. Obtain the shareable URL:

    $ oc get routes
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can use .NET Source-to-Image (S2I) builder image to build applications using binary artifacts that you provide.

Prerequisites

  1. Published application.

Procedure

  1. Create a new binary build:

    $ oc new-build --name=my-web-app dotnet:8.0-ubi8 --binary=true
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Start the build and specify the path to the binary artifacts on your local machine:

    $ oc start-build my-web-app --from-dir=bin/Release/net8.0/publish
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Create a new application:

    $ oc new-app my-web-app
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
