I wonder if the screenshot on this page tutorial-hello-world is relevant to the topic of this tutorial piece: I would say that instead of 404, we should see a screenshot like below: |

I believe the git commit task needs to be updated to configure git with the email and name. I'm getting an error because of that running it off of the current documentation. I also needed to specify the branch name in the resource configuration for the put step to work. The git resource docs mention that |

This ended up a wall of text going through my first experience using Concourse. There are relevant comments to the tutorial, but also just pain points in general with Concourse. I tried quoting the general pain points and annoyances so the tutorial relevant sections are easier to find. Overall the tutorial was great. It got me up and running fairly quickly and I was able to eventually grok how to put a reasonable pipeline together. I was able to generate artifacts and push them elsewhere by just reading the tutorial. It didn't cover how to generate container images so I had to go down a rabbit hole of Github issue spelunking, Github ReadMe's, and searching online for tidbits to figure out how to generate all the artifacts I needed. Specifically, I was able to generate python Eventually, I figured out I had to use
At this point I gave up on the idiomatic way and wrangled it together with a custom container that utilized Another reason I went with custom containers was the fact that I couldn't figure out how to pass the self-signed certs to everything. I couldn't find my cert in the task so I could to point to them when running some commands (though resources didn't have cert issues, so it was sorta working? IDK).
Then I left it running for a bit and eventually it started yelling at me that I hit the max number of workers. But when I look at the resource usage of the host system and I'm idling at most 5% CPU and less than 8% of the 32GiB of memory available. Looking at a process manager, I can see the count of Overall, Concourse is so much better than other CI's I've tried. After figuring out what I needed to search for it was fairly trivial to get something working, but:

I am getting an interesting error in running the hello world tutorial:
I've torn down the composed concourse, pruned the volumes and recreated it, and still see this error. Any ideas why? My (hopefully unsurprising) hello world pipeline file is:
I have run the fly commands to login, set-pipeline , unpause and trigger. I have half a TB of disk space remaining - so it's not that. Running on MacOS 11.6.2 with Docker Desktop. |

It may be in the docs and I'm just an idiot, but after hours of searching I finally learned that my pipeline cannot pull in a task from another file in memory. For example, I can't get Fortunately, I found the statement below at this site. Making this a bit more clear -- or adding a flashing light for dummies like me -- would be a huge help. And I'll buy you a drink!

This isn't a huge problem, but the instructions for installing fly are confusing. In the code block, I copied the commands and the response. Creating a space would help with that. It took me about 10 mins to figure it out, but I'm sure it would stump others. $ fly -t tutorial login -c http://localhost:8080 -u test -p test Thank you! |
