Setup

Startup Instructions for Windows

We're going to get our lab environment set up. To do that we need to...

1. Navigate to https://github.com/pdreeves/2019-interactive, click "Clone or download" on the right, then click "Download ZIP".

Note: you do not need to have a GitHub account created to download the file.

2. Unzip the newly downloaded file, place that folder in the root (C:\) of your hard drive, make note of the path for that folder.

3. Start Docker Desktop with administrative privileges if it's not already running.

4. Launch a command prompt with administrative privileges

5. Start the Splunk docker container bu running this command:

docker container run --detach --hostname splunk --name splunk --interactive --tty --publish 8000:8000 --env SPLUNK_PASSWORD="interactive" pdreeves/2019-interactive-splunk

6. Start our first webserver, named web1, which will listen on localhost:81:

docker container run --detach --link=splunk --privileged --hostname web1 --name web1 --interactive --tty --publish 81:80 --volume /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro pdreeves/2019-interactive-web

7. Start our second webserver, named web2, which will listen on localhost:82:

docker container run --detach --link=splunk --privileged --hostname web2 --name web2 --interactive --tty --publish 82:80 --volume /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro pdreeves/2019-interactive-web

8. Start our Ansible server, named ansible, and replace {{unzippedFolder}} with the location of the unzipped folder:

docker container run --detach --link=web1 --link=web2 --hostname ansible --name ansible --interactive --tty --volume {{unzippedFolder}}:/opt/external pdreeves/2019-interactive-ansible

For example, if I unzipped the folder in C:\2019-interactive-master: the command would be... docker container run --detach --link=web1 --link=web2 --hostname ansible --name ansible --interactive --tty --volume C:\2019-interactive-master:/opt/external pdreeves/2019-interactive-ansible

9. Navigate to the Instructions folder and start with scenario 1

Startup Instructions for macOS and Linux

docker container run --detach --hostname splunk --name splunk --interactive --tty --publish 8000:8000 --env SPLUNK_PASSWORD="interactive" pdreeves/2019-interactive-splunk

5. Start our first webserver, named web1, which will listen on localhost:81:

docker container run --detach --link=splunk --privileged --hostname web1 --name web1 --interactive --tty --publish 81:80 --volume /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro pdreeves/2019-interactive-web

6. Start our second webserver, named web2, which will listen on localhost:82:

docker container run --detach --link=splunk --privileged --hostname web2 --name web2 --interactive --tty --publish 82:80 --volume /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro pdreeves/2019-interactive-web

7. Start our Ansible server, named ansible, and replace {{unzippedFolder}} with the location of the unzipped folder:

docker container run --detach --link=web1 --link=web2 --hostname ansible --name ansible --interactive --tty --volume {{unzippedFolder}}:/opt/external pdreeves/2019-interactive-ansible

For example, if I unzipped the folder in /Users/pdreeves/Downloads/2019-interactive-master the command would be... docker container run --detach --link=web1 --link=web2 --hostname ansible --name ansible --interactive --tty --volume /Users/pdreeves/Downloads/2019-interactive-master:/opt/external pdreeves/2019-interactive-ansible

8. Navigate to the Instructions folder and start with scenario 1

Lab Reset Instructions

It's ok if you make a mistake and need to re-set the lab, that's the great thing about containers!

1. Run these commands to stop and delete the containers:

docker container stop ansible web2 web1 splunk

docker container rm ansible web2 web1 splunk

2. Then these commands to spin up fresh containers:

docker container run --detach --hostname splunk --name splunk --interactive --tty --publish 8000:8000 --env SPLUNK_PASSWORD="interactive" 2019-interactive-splunk

docker container run --detach --link=splunk --privileged --hostname web1 --name web1 --interactive --tty --publish 81:80 --volume /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro 2019-interactive-web

docker container run --detach --link=splunk --privileged --hostname web2 --name web2 --interactive --tty --publish 82:80 --volume /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro 2019-interactive-web

docker container run --detach --link=web1 --link=web2 --hostname ansible --name ansible --interactive --tty --volume {{unzippedFolder}}:/opt/external 2019-interactive-ansible
