php web application using JQuery Mobile that publishes a list of ordered items. Each item has an image and trivia associated with it. Cats are used as a default sample list, but lists of abritary items and length can be used.

A sample running application is hosted on OpenShift Online V2.

https://www.cotd.net.au

Lists can be customed by editing the contents in the data subdirectory. Edit selector.php to point to subdirectory name of the list of interest. Edit the rank.php file under the subdirectory of the selected list. Add images as required in the images subdirectory with names matching list items.

Whenever the user rates an item, an entry is written to the php log. These entries can be filtered and then used to test hypotheses regarding user engagement. An example entry is as follows:

[Sun Sep 25 09:14:40.037909 2016] [:error] [pid 15] [client 172.17.0.1:46572] <COTD> { "user" : "e299ra835usa88pp19sr25ipg6", items" : [ {"adelaide" : "1"}, {"canberra" : "3"}, ] , "client_ip" : "172.17.0.1",  "sydney_time" : "2016:09:25 19:14:40",  } </COTD>, referer: https://localhost:8080/item.php?nextpage=canberra

To demonstrate AB deployments try the following:

Fork this Git repo Visit https://www.openshift.org/vm/ to create an instance of OpenShift

Visit the Console at https://10.2.2.2:8443/console/ using credentials user/user Create a project called cotd with description "Cat of the Day"

oc new-project cotd --display-name="City of the day" --description='City of the day'

Visit your Git repo and change the data/selector.php to point to "cats" Create a php application called cotd1 and point it to this Git repo Verify that the application using https://cotd1-cotd.apps.10.2.2.2.xip.io

oc new-app openshift/php:5.6~https://github.com/eformat/cotd.git#master --name=master

Visit your Git repo and change the data/selector.php to point to "cities" Create a php application called cotd2 and point it to this Git repo Verify that the application using https://cotd2-cotd.apps.10.2.2.2.xip.io

oc new-app openshift/php:5.6~https://github.com/eformat/cotd.git#feature --name=feature

Switch to the Applications > Routes tab in the Console Create a route ab pointing to https://ab-cotd.apps.10.2.2.2.xip.io

oc expose service master --hostname=cotd.192.168.137.2.xip.io --name=cotd

By default the HA proxy router will configure your route for least connection. To work correctly with weights, set an annotation so that round robin balancing is used

oc annotate route/cotd haproxy.router.openshift.io/balance=roundrobin

From a terminal window issue an $ oc login https://10.2.2.2:8443 with credentials user/user Set the project to cotd using $ oc project cotd Create a AB route using the web UI - broswe to cotd Route RouteSplit traffic across multiple services Verify the AB 50/50 setting in the cotd project

oc set route-backends routes/cotd master=50 feature=50

You can also incrementally adjust from client

oc set route-backends routes/cotd --adjust feature=+10%

Launch a a different browser and set cookies preferences to "never allow" Open https://ab-cotd.apps.10.2.2.2.xip.io Refresh and note changes between cats and cities versions

$ docker pull spicozzi/cotd
$ docker run -d -i -p 8080:80 spicozzi/cotd
Browser https://localhost:8080

oc new-project cotd --display-name="City of the day" --description='City of the day'
oc new-app openshift/php:5.6~https://github.com/<repo>/cotd.git
oc expose svc cotd

Edit the buildconfig:

-- change from Git to binary
source:
  type: Git
  git:
    uri: 'https://github.com/eformat/cotd.git'
  secrets: null

-- to this
source:
  type: Binary

-- then build with
oc start-build --from-dir=. cotd

You may also wish to enable live reload for php image (don't do this in prod)

oc set env dc/cotd OPCACHE_REVALIDATE_FREQ=0

For now:

./parseCotdLogs.pl $(oc get pods | grep cotd | grep Running | awk '{print $1}')
