Lab Setup

Prior to working on labs, the Platform Services team will have created 2 projects:

  • ocp101-tools: This namespace/project will have all of the builds related objects
  • ocp101-dev: This namespace/project will have all the deployment related objects

One member from your group has been given administrative rights to the projects and is responsible for adding all other members to each project.

NOTE: the actual name of the namespaces may vary, and ocp101 may be a sequence of random characters.

Assign yourself a unique name to be used during your application deployments. Do not copy the application names directly from the lab guides as you are in a shared environment with the rest of your team.

For example, if the lab says to create an application named app1-[username], I would create an app named app1-stewartshea.

Lab Requirements

These labs will require access to the lab ocp environment:

Installing OC

You may already have oc installed on your machine. Your oc version should match the version of the cluster.

If you have oc installed run oc version. It should look something like this

Client Version: openshift-clients-4.6.0-202006250705.p0-176-g5797eaeca

If you do not have oc installed or your version is incorrect follow these instructions.

  1. Option 1: If you have access to the Openshift cluster you can simply download directly from the console cluster download link

  2. Option 2: Alternativly, navigate to the Openshift CLI Mirror and download the version of oc that matches your operating system.

For Linux/Mac users that may be working with multiple versions of oc, it is helpful to have both versions of oc (3.xx/4.xx) on your machine. You can create an alias to oc 3.xx instead of adding it to your path. This way you can utilize the different versions for different OpenShift environment.

  1. Unpack oc into a place that is easily reference-able from a command line interface or add it to your PATH

Login with OC command line

  1. Use a web browser to open the web console: - Silver Web Console

  2. Click your username in the top right corner of the screen and choose 'copy login command'

  1. Log in again as prompted, then click 'display token'.

  2. Copy the 'oc login' command including the token and servo information. Paste this command into your command-line interface (CLI) and run it to log in.

Other Requirements

In addition, developers require GIT locally installed and must have a 2FA device to support access to GitHub.

Command Line Interfaces

You will find many examples commands and tricks that highly depend on your OS. These commands were developed on unix based systems. Window's Command Prompt will not work with these examples. You will need to either use WSL, Powershell, Gitbash, or similar.
