Red Hat CodeReady Containers Role w/hacks
=========

Use Ansible to deploy Red Hat CodeReady Containers with HACKS

CodeReady Containers brings a minimal, preconfigured OpenShift 4.1 or newer cluster to your local laptop or desktop computer for development and testing purposes. CodeReady Containers is delivered as a Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machine that supports native hypervisors for Linux, macOS, and Windows 10.

Requirements
------------

*  Ansible 
*  Fedora or RHEL 8.x
* IF using RHEL make sure it is registered
* OpenShift CodeReady WorkSpaces  pull secret 
  * https://cloud.redhat.com/openshift/install/crc/installer-provisioned
* Anisble post fix module
  * `ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.posix`

**GET SHA** 
```
$ curl -OL https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/clients/crc/latest/sha256sum.txt
$ cat sha256sum.txt | grep crc-linux-amd64.tar.xz | awk '{print $1}'
```

Example Playbook
----------------
To run playbook as sudo add the `-K` flag 
Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:
You can get pull secert [here](https://cloud.redhat.com/openshift/install/pull-secret).
```
- hosts: servers
  become: yes
  vars:
    crc_version: latest
    crc_sha: 659046b3e478ef89563babef59c1cacdefe91ed32e844bac4504dba68e4a9f88
    pull_secert_path: /tmp/pull-secert.txt
    pull_secert_content: |
      changeme
    use_all_in_one_haproxy: true
    haproxy_ip: ""
    use_all_in_one_dnsmasq: true 
    log_level: info
    ocp4_release: latest
    ocp4_version: 4.7.16
    remove_oc_tool: false
    delete_crc_deployment: false
    forward_server: 1.1.1.1
  roles:
  - codeready-containers-hacks
```

```

**Configure OpenShift cli**
```
ansible-playbook  -i inventory deploy-crc.yml --tags configure_oc_cli -K

```

**Delete deployment**
```
ansible-playbook  -i inventory deploy-crc.yml --extra-vars "delete_crc_deployment=true" -K 
```

Post Steps
---------
**Configure DNS for external access**  
Option 1: Add a custom zone to your dns
`Example using bind or named`
```
;
; BIND data file for local loopback interface
;
$TTL	604800
$ORIGIN testing.
@	IN	SOA	ns.testing. admin.testing. (
			      2		; Serial
			 604800		; Refresh
			  86400		; Retry
			2419200		; Expire
			 604800 )	; Negative Cache TTL
;
@	IN	NS	testing.
@	IN	A	127.0.0.1
@	IN	AAAA	::1
@   IN  A   192.168.1.2
ns1			IN	A	192.168.1.2

api.crc.testing.                                                IN      A       192.168.1.10
assisted-service-assisted-installer.apps-crc.testing.           IN      A       192.168.1.10
oauth-openshift.apps-crc.testing.                               IN      A       192.168.1.10
console-openshift-console.apps-crc.testing.                     IN      A       192.168.1.10
*.apps-crc.testing.                                             IN      A       192.168.1.10
```

Option 2: Add the following to your hosts file to access crc remotly
`change 192.168.1.10 to your ip`
```
192.168.1.10 console-openshift-console.apps-crc.testing oauth-openshift.apps-crc.testing api.crc.testing
```

**Install ODF-Nano on CRC**  
*  [ODF-Nano](https://github.com/ksingh7/odf-nano)  lets you deploy OpenShift Data Foundation on CRC

Debug info
----------
* During setup the new CodeReady Containers release tasks
  * `tail -f /tmp/crc_setup.log`
  * or `tail -f  tail -f ~/.crc/crc.log`
* Validate configs on crc 
```
$ crc config view
- consent-telemetry                     : yes
- cpus                                  : 8
- memory                                : 96000
- nameserver                            : 1.1.1.1

```

To-Do
-------
* develop against MacOS
* test against RHEL 7
* develop for windows
* test using external dns and haproxy 
* develop against other OS's
* add cpu and memory custom sizing options 
* delete deployment
