I have found a custom openshift cartridge that install PHP 5.5 on openshift [openshift default is 5.4]

This will allow everyone to use Flarum on Openshift, a free platform as service, where you have ssh access and can install ruby, node.js and a lot more app types.

The following link allows you to create a custom PHP 5.5 cartridge on openshift, and of course allows you to install Flarum, wich requires PHP 5.5+

I'm not teaching how to use it, because it's very complicated and this was just to tell who want to try Flarum in openshift that there's a custom cartridge.

But for who want to know how to use, there are some good videos on how to use openshift on the web.

justshipit I've had success, but with another cartridge.
The one I used was https://github.com/boekkooi/openshift-diy-nginx-php
The only problem is that you have to wait like an hour for the build to finish, but I think it actually works.

2nd thing to keep in mind is that you first need to
1. Download Flarum
2. Install Flarum

And then, after finishing instructions on the cartdrige's README:
3. Move Flarum contents, aka vendor/, config.php... into the web folder inside cloned repository, making sure you are moving the contents of the forum that you've already installed in step 2.

EDIT 3/11/16: For a silly reason I removed the Openshift app from openshift & locally, and I have failed to put it up working again ?
