No, this part only needs to talk read-only to the database. This is not
touching anything on the disk besides writing the output. I guess you
were thinking about the umdl (update-master-directory-listing) part.
That would need ro access to the file-system.

The part I am talking about just reads the database and creates a
protobuf snapshot of the database which is then used by the mirrorlist
servers on the proxies.

Currently it runs once every hour. Which works pretty good so far.
Triggering it on a message makes only limited sense as it depends on the
results of the crawler. We could run it twice an hour to have newer
database snapshots on the proxies.

How can I prepare it for running in openshift. Can I use the
configuration for toddlers? Where can I find that?
