Table of Contents

• Objective
• Step 1 - Logging In
• Step 2 - The Gitea Dasbhoard
• Step 3 - The Device Edge Codebase Repo

Objective

In this exercise, we are going to get logged into Gitea and explore the content of your instance.

This exercise will cover:

• Logging into Gitea
• Exploring the pre-populated repo

Step 1 - Logging In

Note

If you are using an edge device on-site: your instructor will provide the IP address/DNS entry of the Gitea instance that will be running locally. Optionally, more information can be found on your student page.

Note

If you are using Gitea in AWS: the login information can be found on your student page.

After entering the URL in a browser, you will be greeted with the Gitea login page. To log in, the username will be "student$(your_student_number)", such as student1, and the password located on your student page.

Step 2 - The Gitea Dashboard

Gitea features a lightweight dashboard that shows an activity stream and lists your repos on the right hand side. There should be information about the workshop provisioner creating and performing an initial push of some code:

Step 3 - The Device Edge Codebase Repo

On the right-hand side of the Gitea dashboard is a link to a repository called device-edge-codebase which will be used to contain code for this workshop. Take a look at the pre-populated playbook in the playbooks/ directory, and take note of the http(s)/git addresses used to push and pull from this repository in the top right of the repository landing page.

Note

The external SSH port for Gitea is 2222. Be sure to append the correct port to git commands if using git over SSH instead of over http(s). For example git clone ssh://git@g${gitea_server}:2222/student${your_student_number}/device-edge-codebase.git
