Deploy as cf app

[PvanHengel]

Hi has anyone done any work to deply the admin ui as an app within the cloud foundry instance or must it be installed as stand alone?

Just tried it on cf_nise_installer image and mostly got it to function. Items of interest:

• I updated my config/default.yml. This includes the ccdb_uri, cloud_controller_uri, mbus and uaadb_uri
• I modified lib/admin/config.rb to return the port as ENV['VCAP_APP_PORT'] || @config[:port]
• I modified /var/vcap/jobs/dea_next/config/warden.yml network.allow_host_access to be true
• I modified /var/vcap/jobs/haproxy/config/haproxy.conf global/tune.bufsize to be larger to accommodate the large request URL's due to use of DataTables on the Admin UI JavaScript side. I increased on my local installation from 16384 to 32768
• Realize the stats regular collecting won't be persisted across restarts since the sqlite DB is created local to the application. I didn't try to tie this in to a separate service.
• I pushed with cf push adminui -c "ruby bin/admin"
• You can then look at the adminui log file with cf files adminui app/admin_ui.log
• You can hit similarly to any other app: https://adminui.
