From YouTube: Workshop Project Setup

Description

This is a recording of the step-by-step instructions in "Workshop Setup slides.pdf" which can be accessed from https://gitlab.com/edmond-demo/workshop-content/2021-03-17-security-workshop/-/blob/master/Workshop%20Setup%20slides.pdf

A

Now that I have downloaded my credentials, I can look at the text file and use the username and password that are listed in a file to log in to the workshop server. So here you can see I've entered my credentials and I'm going to click sign in from here. We need to create a new group, so we're going to go up to the groups menu item at the top and we're going to click on your groups from here. I need to expand training users and expand the session folder as well the session group.

A

What I'm looking for is my test group, the one that I am the owner of. I can identify that by the owner tag. Next to the group. I can also identify and find that group. If this list is very long, you don't see it listed right away. I can go to the top right to see what my username is in this case.

A

It's iutu 2x8t and I can search for that in the search bar and you'll notice that, as I type in terms, the list will shrink down to only the groups that match that search term.

A

Once I've found my group, I should I need to click on that group to go into it.

A

Now that I am in my test group, I need to create a new subgroup. This is going to contain the projects that we're going to work on in this workshop. So let's click on new subgroup and we'll give the name security, dashboard.

A

Once that's entered, you can click on create group, and now you can see that the group has been successfully created.

A

Next, we're going to go ahead and create our projects, so we're going to click on new project.

A

And you'll notice that projects can be created in a number of different ways. In our case, we want to create it from a template, so we're going to click on that in top right- and this shows me a list of templates, the one that we want to use is under group.

A

Click on group and select workshop project 1, we're going to say, use template we're going to give it a name, we'll call it my project, 1 and then click create project.

A

What this does is it creates my project from a template that already contains information that we will be using for our workshop exercises.

A

For this workshop we need the project, but we also need to run a pipeline within a project so that we have some results to work with. So I'd like you to go to the left hand, side, click on ci, cd and then click on pipelines just to the right of that so cicd pipelines from here. We want to click, run pipelines at the top.

A

And then again run pipeline so that the pipeline executes.

A

And now the pipeline will continue running in the background, as we continue with our setup.

A

At this point, we need to import a second project for a workshop, so we can go up to the top and use the breadcrumb navigation. That's near the top of the screen to go back to the security dashboard.

A

From here we'll click on new project to create a second project again from a template again from the group. But this time we want workshop project 2.. Let's click on use template for that.

A

And in this case, we want to name our project myproject2.

A

Click on create project.

A

Wait for that import to complete and once it's done again go to ci cd pipelines.

A

And we're going to run this pipeline.

A

And click on run pipeline.

A

Again that completes the setup steps. We can click on the security dashboard at the top and the breadcrumb navigations to go back to see that we have our two projects created and those pipelines will run in advance of our workshop and that's it for the setup. So I look forward to seeing you live.
