----------------------------------------------------------------

The upstream issue has been fixed, nodejs template uses fixed base image. But static content is not visible by default/published and propagated. It requires DEV_MODE runtime environment set to true (this was not working earlier, but it is the fixed issue and working) and once the DEV_MODE is set to true, static content is updated. There are 2 outstanding question:
a) How should it really work? I was trying to get some answer on #aos channel and bparees answered on question whether DEV_MODE is required even for static content: "depends how nodejs is serving that static content, i'm really not sure, but i'd be willing to be it caches it, so you'd need DEV_MODE to get the changes picked up." We need someone who is deep enough in nodejs stuff to clarify this one.
b) Do we wanna have DEV_MODE environment variable set to true by default for nodejs examples to let users easily modify their application? If Answer from question A is that DEV_MODE is required even for static content. I think it would be quite "must be" to have an application which is changeable.

> I am having an OpenShift application based either on nodejs-example or nodejs-mongodb-example template. Once application is up and running I create a new server adapter and perform changes in index.html. These changes are static and should be (?) immediately visible on OpenShift server, but they are not. I have checked whether changes were published, but rsync in console shows expected output also changes done manually on the server side to index.html are not visible in browser (even when cache overwritten is triggered - so there is no caching problem in browser). This seems to be upstream issues, but requires investigating.
> So far I have tried it on CDK OpenShift. It would be nice to test it on other OpenShift instances, also on templates using different base docker image.
