The whole Weik.io platform runs in a dev container on your own machine, opened from a GitHub repository and ready for a first sign-in to the admin UI. You need Docker and Visual Studio Code with the Dev Containers extension.

What it covers

What the machine needs, from Docker with 8 GB of memory to a free port 8580

The first start, and the Docker volume that keeps the platform's data across restarts
The project sandbox, the environment devtest and the agent dev that the weikio CLI uses by default
Checking the signed-in admin and each process with weikio whoami and weikio-dev status
The admin's first sign-in at http://localhost:8580, after setting a password through weikio-dev ui-link

Transcript

0:02This video shows how to try Weik.io on your machine.
0:08Your machine needs Docker with 8 GB memory, 4 CPUs, 20 GB free disk,
0:15VS Code with the Dev Containers extension, Chrome, port 8580 free.
0:22Weik.io runs in a dev container.
0:28The repository is try-weikio on GitHub.
0:34The Dev Containers button opens the repository in VS Code as a dev container.
0:40Chrome asks you to open VS Code.
0:47VS Code starts the container, then runs the setup.
0:50The first start takes a few minutes while Docker builds the image.
0:54Each step prints a line, ending with Weikio ready.
0:58Every process of the platform runs inside one container.
1:02The platform's data lives in a Docker volume that survives a restart.
1:06VS Code forwards port 8580 to your machine,
1:11so the admin UI and API are available there.
1:17The Weik.io CLI is signed in as the platform admin.
1:22The first start created project sandbox, environment devtest and agent dev,
1:29so the CLI works there by default.
1:31weikio whoami prints the signed-in user and its grants.
1:40weikio-dev status prints one row per process, each up with its check ok.
1:46The admin UI and API are at localhost:8580.
1:56The admin's first sign-in needs a password,
1:59so weikio-dev ui-link prints a link that sets it.
2:04The link works once.
2:05Open the link in your browser, set the password,
2:08and sign in at localhost:8580 as admin@local.
2:17Nothing is deployed to devtest yet, so agent dev has nothing running.
2:23The commands to try next all work on the integration hello.
2:27weikio init hello creates the integration in the hello folder inside the repository.
2:37The repository button started VS Code,
2:40which built the container that runs the platform.
2:43The volume keeps the platform's data across restarts.
2:47The admin UI is open at localhost:8580 in your browser.
