# Jenkins to Actions migrations powered by Valet

The instructions below will guide you through configuring a GitHub Codespace environment that will be used in subsequent labs that demonstrate how to use Valet to migrate Jenkins pipelines to GitHub Actions.

These steps **must** be completed prior to starting other labs.

## Create your own repository for these labs

1. Ensure that you have created a repository using the [valet-customers/labs](https://github.com/valet-customers/labs) as a template.

## Configure your Codespace

1. Start a new Codespace.

- Click the `Code` with button down arrow above repository on the repository's landing page.
- Click the `Codespaces` tab
- Click `Create codespaces on main` to create the codespace.
- After the Codespace has initialized there will be a terminal present.

2. Verify the Valet CLI is installed and working. More information on the Valet extension for the official GitHub CLI can be found [here](https://github.com/github/gh-valet).

- Run the following command in the codespace's terminal:

  ```bash
  gh valet version
  ```

- Verify the output is similar to the image below. The version information may differ than what is shown below.
  - If `gh valet version` did not produce similar output then please follow the troubleshooting [guide](#troubleshoot-the-valet-cli).

## Bootstrap a Jenkins server

 1. Execute the Jenkins setup script that will start a container with a Jenkins server running inside of it. This script should be executed when starting a new Codespace or restarting an existing one.  

- Run the following command from the codespace's terminal to start a Jenkins server:

    ```bash
    ./jenkins/bootstrap/setup.sh
    ```

- After some time, a pop-up box should appear with a link to the URL for your Jenkins server.
  - You can also access the URL by going to the `Ports` tab in your terminal. Right click on the URL listed under the `Local Address` and click the `Open in Browser` tab.

2. Open the Jenkins server in your browser and use the following credentials to authenticate:

  - Username: `admin`
  - Password: `password`

- Once authenticated, you should see a Jenkins server with a few predefined pipelines.

## Labs for Jenkins

Perform the following labs to test-drive Valet

1. [Configure credentials for Valet](1-configure.md)
2. [Perform an audit of a Jenkins server](2-audit.md)
3. [Perform a dry-run of a Jenkins pipeline](3-dry-run.md)
4. [Use custom transformers to customize Valet's behavior](4-custom-transformers.md)
5. [Perform a production migration of a Jenkins pipeline](5-migrate.md)
6. [Forecast potential build runner usage](6-forecast.md)

## Troubleshoot the Valet CLI

The CLI extension for Valet can be manually installed by following these steps:

- Verify you are in the codespace terminal
- Run this command from within the codespace's terminal:

  ```bash
  gh extension install github/gh-valet
  ```

- Verify the result of the install contains:

  ```bash
  ✓ Installed extension github/gh-valet
  ```

- If you get an error similar to the image below, then click the link in the terminal output to authorize the token.
  - Restart the codespace after clicking the link.

- Verify Valet CLI extension is installed and working by running the following command from the codespace's terminal:

  ```bash
  gh valet version
  ```

## Troubleshooting the Jenkins server

Follow these steps if the Jenkins server does not start correctly after running the setup script:

1. Navigate to the `Docker` tab on the left side of the codespace.
2. Under the `Containers` tab you should see a docker container named `jenkins:valet` listed with a green play button ▶

- If you see the `jenkins:valet` container, but it has a red stopped symbol next to it ▢, right click on the container and click on `start`, the container should begin running again.
- If the container does not start even after trying to manually start it, right click on the `jenkins:valet` container and click the `remove` button. Then, attempt to start the Jenkins server again by following the steps [here](#bootstrap-a-jenkins-server).
