All the commands and links of the Jenkins X walkthrough

jenkins-x-walkthrough.md

1. Official website of the Jenkins X project: Jenkins X. You can find here more information about the Jenkins X components. And I found this article about Prow to be quite good to get a better understanding about the different native Kubernetes CI/CD projects.

2. Create a new cluster using jx and minikube:

jx create cluster minikube --kubernetes-version=v1.15.4

Specify kubernetes version until this issue is fixed. Specify more resources to make sure the initial pipelines can succeed:

? memory (MB) 8192
? cpu (cores) 6
? disk-size (MB) 150GB
? Select driver: hyperkit

Select Serverless Jenkins X Pipelines with Tekton when asked to select Jenkins installation type

3. Create simple react project in Jenkins X:

jx create quickstart -f react-quickstart

All the quickstarts that you can use are in this repo. Also, all the build packs used for the serverless Jenkins X are in this repo.

4. Follow pipelines running for the newly created project:

jx get activity -f react-quickstart-jenkinsx -w

5. Software to use to create a tunnel and expose local hook endpoint externally: ngrok.io
6. Create tunnel using ngrok:

ngrok http -host-header=rewrite <hook_host>:80

Replace <hook_host> with your hook endpoint.

7. See all the pods running in the staging namespace in the local cluster:

kubectl get pods -n jx-staging                                                                                             

8. View all applications running with Jenkins X and the environments:

jx get applications

9. Promote version 0.0.2 of the application react-quickstart-jenkinsx to production (run inside of application repo folder):

jx promote react-quickstart-jenkinsx --version 0.0.2 --env production

10. Create a DevPod (run inside of the application repo folder):

jx create devpod

Don't forget to start the app in the DevPod to be able to preview any changes you make.
