Chapter 4. Creating and building an application using the CLI

Procedure

1. To retrieve the created application service, enter the following command:

   $ oc get service

   Example output

   NAME      TYPE       CLUSTER-IP         EXTERNAL-IP    PORT(S)   AGE
   parksmap  ClusterIP  <your-cluster-IP>  <123.456.789>  8080/TCP  8m29s

2. To create a route, enter the following command:

   $ oc create route edge parksmap --service=parksmap

   Example output

   route.route.openshift.io/parksmap created

3. To retrieve the created application route, enter the following command:

   $ oc get route

   Example output

   NAME        HOST/PORT                                                   PATH   SERVICES   PORT       TERMINATION   WILDCARD
   parksmap    parksmap-user-getting-started.apps.cluster.example.com             parksmap   8080-tcp   edge          None

Procedure

1. To list all pods with node names, enter the following command:

   $ oc get pods

   Example output

   NAME                       READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
   parksmap-5f9579955-6sng8   1/1     Running   0          77s

2. To list all pod details, enter the following command:

   $ oc describe pods

Verification

1. To ensure that your application scaled properly, enter the following command:

   $ oc get pods

   Example output

   NAME                       READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
   parksmap-5f9579955-6sng8   1/1     Running   0          7m39s
   parksmap-5f9579955-8tgft   1/1     Running   0          24s

2. To scale your application back down to one pod instance, enter the following command:

   $ oc scale --current-replicas=2 --replicas=1 deployment/parksmap

Procedure

1. To create a secret, enter the following command:

   $ oc create secret generic nationalparks-mongodb-parameters --from-literal=DATABASE_SERVICE_NAME=mongodb-nationalparks --from-literal=MONGODB_USER=mongodb --from-literal=MONGODB_PASSWORD=mongodb --from-literal=MONGODB_DATABASE=mongodb --from-literal=MONGODB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=mongodb

   Example output

   secret/nationalparks-mongodb-parameters created

2. To update the environment variable to attach the mongodb secret to the nationalpartks workload, enter the following command:

   $ oc set env --from=secret/nationalparks-mongodb-parameters deploy/nationalparks

   Example output

   deployment.apps/nationalparks updated

3. To show the status of the nationalparks deployment, enter the following command:

   $ oc rollout status deployment nationalparks

   Example output

   deployment "nationalparks" successfully rolled out

4. To show the status of the mongodb-nationalparks deployment, enter the following command:

   $ oc rollout status deployment mongodb-nationalparks

   Example output

   deployment "nationalparks" successfully rolled out
   deployment "mongodb-nationalparks" successfully rolled out

Procedure

1. To load national parks data, enter the following command:

   $ oc exec $(oc get pods -l component=nationalparks | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $1;}') -- curl -s http://localhost:8080/ws/data/load

   Example output

   "Items inserted in database: 2893"

2. To verify that your data is loaded properly, enter the following command:

   $ oc exec $(oc get pods -l component=nationalparks | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $1;}') -- curl -s http://localhost:8080/ws/data/all

   Example output (trimmed)

   , {"id": "Great Zimbabwe", "latitude": "-20.2674635", "longitude": "30.9337986", "name": "Great Zimbabwe"}]

3. To add labels to the route, enter the following command:

   $ oc label route nationalparks type=parksmap-backend

   Example output

   route.route.openshift.io/nationalparks labeled

4. To retrieve your routes to view your map, enter the following command:

   $ oc get routes

   Example output

   NAME            HOST/PORT                                                      PATH   SERVICES        PORT       TERMINATION   WILDCARD
   nationalparks   nationalparks-user-getting-started.apps.cluster.example.com           nationalparks   8080-tcp   edge          None
   parksmap        parksmap-user-getting-started.apps.cluster.example.com                parksmap        8080-tcp   edge          None

5. Copy and paste the HOST/PORT path you retrieved above into your web browser. Your browser should display a map of the national parks across the world.
