Creating a domain using rhc

In the Creating OpenShift domains using the web console recipe of Chapter 1, Getting Started with OpenShift, you learned how to create a domain using the web console. In this recipe, you will learn how to create a domain using the rhc command line.

Getting ready

To complete this recipe, you will need to have rhc installed on your machine. Please refer to the Installing the OpenShift rhc command-line client recipe in Chapter 1, Getting Started with OpenShift, for instructions. If you are using OpenShift's free plan, you have to first delete the domain you created in the Creating OpenShift domains using the web console recipe of Chapter 1, Getting Started with OpenShift, before continuing with this recipe. This is required because you cannot have more than one domain with OpenShift's free plan. To delete a domain, run the command shown as follows. This command is explained in the Deleting a domain using rhc recipe in this chapter:

$ rhc delete-domain <domain_name...
