Albatha Innovation Sandbox

Testing environment. Use demo data only. Don't enter real customer, patient or personal information. Apps here may be reset or removed without notice.

Your app here

Any team can publish a test app to the sandbox from its GitLab project. See “Bring your app” below.

How it works

  1. Push to GitLabThe team merges a change into the project's main branch.
  2. Pipeline deploysA GitLab pipeline checks it and deploys it to the sandbox server automatically.
  3. Live in secondsThe app updates on its own HTTPS address, with no manual steps.

Bring your app

Add the SANDBOX_DEPLOY.md playbook to your GitLab project and follow its steps, then ask the Innovation team (Albatha IT) to enable the sandbox runner for your project. Your app gets its own address, such as your-app.20-233-17-176.sslip.io.
