Thanks to all for the precious indications and examples.
The issue with ssh was related to creating a new application with the same name as a previously deleted application, on windows at least.
And finally, a WAR deployment is not necessary, which is cool, thanks to the openshift basex quick start repository mentioned above.

Well, I followed step by step the provided guide with Putty, but it ended up with:
"Server refused our key" and still the message "Disconnected: No supported authentification methods available " etc.
Still no luck with Openshift. It looked like a nice hosting solution though...
I use windows8. Getting all the ssh keys right can be challenging. Are you able to create just a simple DIY app? and then ssh into it. see https://www.openshift.com/blogs/access-your-application-gear-using-ssh-with-... . Beyond that which of approaches above are you trying? If it is https://github.com/Quodatum/openshift-basex-quick-start .Which step fails?

Andy, Dirk, Christian, many thanks for the indications.
However I still have no luck with openshift as whatever I'm doing, the ssh connection does not want to work.
I tried everything including switching from windows 8 to a windows 7 machine, using git BASH, etc, and even using SFTP via filezilla as explained here:
( https://www.openshift.com/blogs/using-filezilla-and-sftp-on-windows-with-ope... )
as well as following this advices for windows OS:
https://www.openshift.com/blogs/tips-for-creating-openshift-apps-with-window...
but each time, it says "Permission Denied" or "No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)".
So it does not want to "git clone" the application to the local machine via ssh...
Rather frustrating, but well, I'm patient and open to any suggestion.
Andy,
thanks for the interesting link!

Hi Aurelien,
If you do try the BaseXHTTP server route on OpenShift, rather than
the
WAR packaging, this repo may help https://github.com/Quodatum/openshift-basex-quick-start. By default
just
RESTXQ is enabled but it is easy to re-able REST and or Webdav. This uses the OpenShift data directory to provide persistence across restarts.

Hello Aurelien,
how to deploy a WAR file heavily depends on the container you are using, so there is no general guidance from us. It might be more advisable
to
ask on the actual container mailing list (i.e. tomcat, jetty,
whatever)
or consult their documentation.
Having said that, some time ago I testes BaseX on OpenShift using JBosAS. This documentation actually helped me:
https://openshift.github.io/documentation/oo_cartridge_guide.html#jbossas
I just pushed the repository to github: https://github.com/dirkk/openshift-basex
Now, when modifying the RestXQ files I simply edit the files in src/main/webapp, commit (git commit) them and by using git push
push
them to openshift. Using maven, OpenShift compiles the WAR file and deploys it automatically at http://jbossas-dirkk.rhcloud.com/
Be ware, that when you use OpenShift, everything is subject to your
git
repository, i.e. they might spawn a new process by cloning your repository. This means, everything you store on the file system
which
is not in git is actually not safely stored (you can use S3 or similar
to
do so). So this also applies to BaseX when it stores its database files.
Also, you might want to take a look at the BaseXHTTP version. In
this
case, BaseX runs within a Jetty servlet container and this is as
simple
as starting basexhttp. So if you want to be up and running in no
time,
this might be your safest bet (if you have a web server were you
can
run java).
Cheers, Dirk
