It checks for internet connectivity before installing Ansible. Specifically, it checks these URLs:
hub.docker.com
github.com
plugins.jenkins.io
What is the background?
We've occasionally had reports of failure to install cdemo which were ultimately traced to basic network connectivity problems, eg with NATs and firewalls and so on blocking access to necessary domains.
In order to make it clear up front where the failure is and what the expectations are, this script prints out in plain language whether it's able to connect.
How should the reviewer test this?
The lazy way is to checkout the network-check branch and run bin/check-network. That will run the network check alone and nothing else.
The more methodical way is:
checkout the network-check branch in your cdemo VM
turn off network access to your VM
run installAnsible.sh
this should FAIL IMMEDIATELY with warnings about connectivity
