Usage

The ood-portal-generator tool takes a user-defined YAML configuration file and generates an Apache configuration file from the provided template file. This Apache configuration file can then be used in an Apache HTTP server to host an Open OnDemand portal.

The command that generates the Apache configuration file is given as:

bin/generate [OPTIONS]

At any point you can display a quick reference of the capabilities offered by bin/generate with:

bin/generate --help
