OpenAppHack

Openapphack is an attempt to enable end to end automation of Application Development using opensource tools for provisioning , code authoring and scaffolding.

The broader purpose is to provide a simplified path for full stack developers to quickly get started on opensource technologies and experiment freely on opensource applications frameworks.

Openapphack leverages vagrant, ansible and yeoman to do this.

The goal is to get a collection of fully functional , customizable apps working on the openapphack-vm from a set of plain yaml files.

What is OpenAppHack Project?

An OpenAppHack Project is a repository forked from the openapphack-vm to your github organization or individual namespace.

You need to make use of the openapphack ansible roles and openapphack yoeman generators and build an impressive fully functional opensource application.

Openapphack repositories

The others repositories used by the openapphack project are:

Openapphack-vm : Main repository which participants have to fork and will submit their pull requests.

Openapphack-ansibleroles : Repository for ansible roles that can be used by openapphack projects , You can also add your own ansible roles that work on openapphack-vm

Openapphack-yeoman-generators : Repository for the generators. You can also add your own yeoman generators that work on openapphack-vm, more info
