Instructions

2. Add Personal Access Tokens (PAT)

   • Navigate to the Settings page
   • Add a PAT token for each bridge agent
   • Add one additional token starting with "admin-pat"

3. Run a Bridge Container in local docker

   • On the Run Page, click the "Edit" button to select a target pool for the bridge agents
   • Select one of the bridge images you built from the step above.
   • To Run Bridge container(s): Select one or more PAT tokens and click Run Bridge Containers.

Notes

• Each bridge agent requires its own unique PAT token for authentication
• The bridge container runs in local Docker container
• The bridge agent name and the docker container will match the name of the selected token
