1. Web terminal

Using OpenShift’s web terminal might be more convenient for you as it doesn’t require you to install oc locally on your computer.

Task 1.1: Login on the web console

First of all, open your browser. Then, log in on OpenShift’s web console using the URL and credentials provided by your trainer.

Task 1.2: Initialize terminal

In OpenShift’s web console:

  1. Click on the terminal icon on the upper right
  2. Choose to create a new project
  3. Name your project <username>-terminal where <username> is the username given to you during this training
  4. Click Start

Web terminal in the OpenShift console

Task 1.3: Verification

After the initial setup, you’re presented with a web terminal. Tools like oc are already installed and you’re also already logged in.

You can check this by executing the following command:

oc whoami

You’re now ready to go!

Next steps

If you’re interested, have a look at the 3. Other ways to work with OpenShift, which is however totally optional.

When you’re ready to go, head on over to the labs and begin with the training!
