Chapter 18. Run OptaWeb Vehicle Routing on Red Hat OpenShift

Linux users can use the runOnOpenShift.sh Bash script to install OptaWeb Vehicle Routing on Red Hat OpenShift.

Note

The runOnOpenShift.sh script does not run on macOS.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Log in to or start a Red Hat OpenShift cluster.

  1. Enter the following command where <PROJECT_NAME> is the name of your new project: 

    oc new-project <PROJECT_NAME>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. If necessary, change directory to org.optaweb.optaweb-vehicle-routing-8.29.0.Final-redhat-00009.

  3. Enter the following command to execute the runOnOpenShift.sh script and download an OpenStreetMap (OSM) file: 

    ./runOnOpenShift.sh <OSM_FILE_NAME> <COUNTRY_CODE_LIST> <OSM_FILE_DOWNLOAD_URL>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    In this command, replace the following variables:

    • <OSM_FILE_NAME>: The name of a file downloaded from <OSM_FILE_DOWNLOAD_URL>.
    • <COUNTRY_CODE_LIST>: A comma-separated list of country codes used to filter geosearch queries. For a list of country codes, see ISO 3166 Country Codes.

    • <OSM_FILE_DOWNLOAD_URL>: The URL of an OSM data file in PBF format accessible from OpenShift. The file will be downloaded during backend startup and saved as /deployments/local/<OSM_FILE_NAME>.

      In the following example, OptaWeb Vehicle Routing downloads the OSM map of Central America (central-america-latest.osm.pbf) and searches in the countries Belize (BZ) and Guatemala (GT). 

      ./runOnOpenShift.sh central-america-latest.osm.pbf BZ,GT http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/central-america-latest.osm.pbf
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Note

For help with the runOnOpenShift.sh script, enter ./runOnOpenShift.sh --help.

After you deploy your OptaWeb Vehicle Routing application on Red Hat OpenShift, you can update the back end and front end.

Prerequisites

  • OptaWeb Vehicle Routing has been successfully built with Maven and deployed on OpenShift.

Procedure

  • To update the back end, perform the following steps:

    1. Change the source code and build the back-end module with Maven.
    2. Change directory to org.optaweb.optaweb-vehicle-routing-8.29.0.Final-redhat-00009.

    3. Enter the following command to start the OpenShift build: 

      oc start-build backend --from-dir=. --follow
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  • To update the front end, perform the following steps:

    1. Change the source code and build the front-end module with the npm utility.
    2. Change directory to sources/optaweb-vehicle-routing-frontend.

    3. Enter the following command to start the OpenShift build: 

      oc start-build frontend --from-dir=docker --follow
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
