Activity: Access Developer Hub

Red Hat Developer Hub has been pre-deployed with a base configuration in your workshop environment. You can find and access your instance in the backstage project on OpenShift.

Login to Red Hat Developer Hub:

  1. Visit the backstage project in your OpenShift cluster. You can login as admin/{common_password}

  2. Select the backstage-developer-hub Deployment in the Topology View.

  3. Click the URL listed under the Resources tab; it will be similar to https://backstage-backstage.{openshift_cluster_ingress_domain}

The sign-in page will be displayed, with the option to login as a Guest. Click the Enter button to use the Guest sign-in.

Ignore the GitHub sign-in method if it’s displayed. It is not configured and will not work.

The Guest sign-in option is currently enabled, but you’ll configure a production-ready sign-in option based on OpenID Connect shortly. The Guest sign-in option is only meant for development and testing purposes.

Visit the Catalog using the link in the menu on the left-hand side of the Red Hat Developer Hub UI. You’ll find that it’s empty, and that the Kind dropdown doesn’t provide any options - let’s fix that!
