Join the Instruqt class

01

Open the invite

Go to play.instruqt.com/kong/invite/ycsny79xx2nh and sign in or create a free Instruqt account.

02

Start the track

Accept the invite, open the track, and hit start. The sandbox takes a minute or two to provision — let it finish before you type anything.

03

Fast-forward

Install a dataplane first with the Konnect Docker script (that's lab 1, done by hand). Then run the goto command for the block highlighted above and you'll land where the room is.

Open invite link Use one browser tab for the lab and keep it open all day.

Using goto-lab.sh

the catch-up button

Every lab in the track ships with goto-lab.sh. It applies the configuration from every lab up to the number you give it, so you can skip ahead to wherever the class is without doing the earlier steps by hand.

$./goto-lab.sh 3
→ replays labs 1–3, then drops you at the start of lab 3
$./goto-lab.sh 6
→ same, all the way up to lab 6
Before any goto works

Every goto assumes lab 1 is already done: install a dataplane with the Konnect Docker script from the Konnect GUI. Do that first, then fast-forward.

Where to run it

In the terminal tab inside the Instruqt lab — not on your own machine. The script lives in the lab's working directory.

Which number

The lab number on the highlighted block in the schedule. If a lecture is running, use the number of the next lab. Lab 1 has no script — it's done by hand in the Konnect GUI.

After it finishes

Read the last few lines of output to confirm it completed, then follow the lab instructions from that point. Wait for the prompt to return before typing.

If something breaks

I just sat down. What do I run?

Open the invite link, start the track, then run the goto command shown on the highlighted schedule block. That's it — you don't need anything from the labs you missed.

goto-lab.sh: command not found

You're probably in the wrong tab or directory. Use the lab's terminal, then try ./goto-lab.sh 3 or bash goto-lab.sh 3.

I closed my lab tab / my sandbox stopped

Reopen the invite link and resume the track from your Instruqt account. If the sandbox was torn down, start it again and run goto-lab.sh for the current lab number.

I have to take a call

Leave the lab tab open and go. When you're back, check this page for the current block and fast-forward to it.

The script errored halfway through

Run it once more with the same number. If it fails again, raise your hand — a TA will come to you rather than stopping the room.

Get help

Ask Claude in your lab

Your lab has access to the Konnect MCP, so Claude can answer questions about your own environment from the command line. Describe what you're stuck on and let it look.

Ask your neighbor

Fastest path for a missed step. Everyone in the room is on the same track.

Raise your hand

A TA will come to your table. Don't wait for the next break — fixes take a minute and you'll fall a lab behind.
