Inspect Services And Connection Parameters on Theia

This presentation aims to demonstrate how to verify the deployment of "helloworld" software release on a SlapOS Theia. The process can be used for any software available on the SlapOS repository. Note, that the SlapOS Theia is an extensible platform to develop multi-language Cloud & Desktop IDEs with state-of-the-art web technologies. Instantiating a SlapOS thus means, creating a smaller encapsulated system for then deploying another software inside. This is a useful approach for developing or hosting simple software releases.

We’ll show how to inspect the services and relevant connection parameters from the deployment of last tutorial (Deploy Software on Theia) in this presentation within one step.

Make sure you have done the previous tutorials and have your instance supplied from software.

request is also the command to get parameters from a service and create the service even if it’s not yet created.

We also have an advanced command to display more information:  slapos proxy show. It will be used frequently since now. You'd better get familiar with it.

With the help of slapos proxy show, the services defined in the software.cfg file should be started and displayed:

 slappart0       local           busy    /srv/slapgrid/slappart49/srv/project/slapos/software/helloworld/software.cfg RootSoftwareInstance hello world instance      -           started     1603890566.29

The connection parameters defined in the instance.cfg.in will be displayed:

slappart0: hello world instance (type RootSoftwareInstance)
    name = Hello John Doe!
    url.go = http://[2001:67c:1254:45:a9d5::d847]:7779
    url.python = http://[2001:67c:1254:45:a9d5::d847]:7777
    url.ruby = http://[2001:67c:1254:45:a9d5::d847]:7778
