Exercise 1
Scenario
All L7|ESP installations consist of two main components:
The core L7|ESP platform
The content and configurations specific to each installation.
These components are packaged into a deployment bundle (tarball) and shared with application administrators for installation into their local environment.
Your Task
Part 1: Fetch and extract an L7|ESP tarball
As an application administrator, you receive the first build of L7|ESP that needs to be deployed for your colleagues to use at the donation clinic.
Begin by extracting the deployment bundle below:
Right-click the link: Blood banking >(opens in a new tab)
Select "Copy Link Address"
Run these commands in your terminal:
1 curl <tarball_url> -o training_module.tar.gz 2 tar zxvf training_module.tar.gz
Part 2: Start the L7|ESP container
With the tarball unzipped, you can now start the L7|ESP container.
1) Login to the L7 Docker registry
1 docker login --username l7devops
2) Enter password sent via email (Docker Access Token)
3) Navigate to the project folder:
1 cd training_module
4) Start the container:
1 docker-compose up --detach
Question: How can you confirm that the container is running?
Answer: You can confirm the container is running by navigating to L7|ESP in your web browser (localhost:8002).
5) Copy the .env.example file to .env
cp .env.example .env
6) Open the .env file in your editor and change the value of the L7ESP_PASSWORD to Password12!
Part 3: Install content
Install the content provided in the tarball using these commands:
1 docker-compose exec server bash 2 make install
