For this workshop, you will request and use your own virtual machine from the LinuxONE Community Cloud. Setup for the virtual machine should take about 30-45 minutes.
Visit the LinuxONE Community Cloud and request a new VM using the Try a LinuxONE Virtual Server button.
Complete the form and confirm your email to activate your LinuxONE Community Cloud account.
When the account is activated, open the Deployment Guide and scroll to First time setup. Follow the steps to create your virtual machine. Important: select a RHEL 7.6 virtual machine (it may look a little different from screenshots, but that's ok) and complete all steps including verifying that you can log in to the virtual machine from your workstation.
As provisioned, the virtual machine needs some additional packages to be installed so that you can complete all of the hands-on labs for the workshop. The virtual machine docker configuration will also need a copy of the signing certificate used by the ICP container image registry.
Use the setupVM.sh script included in this gist file to configure the virtual machine. Log in to your virtual machine and run these commands:
curl -LO https://gist.githubusercontent.com/timroster/6e34ffeee5e63020c6529da08248af9b/raw/87e9186b374ea92cefdf3dd8aedffd4ce8f2e75d/setupVM.sh
chmod +x setupVM.sh
./setupVM.shAfter running the setup script on your VM, you should be able to run docker commands. Test it out:
We are following the Red Hat enterprise linux convention of using the sudo command to invoke docker.
sudo docker run hello-world
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
(s390x)
3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
to your terminal.
To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
$ docker run -it ubuntu bash
