The Assisted Installer User Interface

The Assisted Installer makes IPI (Installer-Provisioned Infrastructure) OpenShift cluster deployments on bare metal easy.

Hosts building the cluster are discovered by booting an ISO image downloaded from the Assisted Installer.

By entering a few necessary configuration details (like cluster name, base domain, SSH public keys or network specifics), the Assisted Installer handles all the deployment and configuration automatically, resulting in a ready-to-use cluster.

This project is a user interface backed by Assisted Installer API.

Getting started

Prerequisite

• Install Node.js and yarn, on Fedora/Centos:

  dnf install -y nodejs yarn
  

• Clone repo:

  git clone https://github.com/openshift-assisted/assisted-ui.git
  cd assisted-ui
  

Build and run in DEV-mode

• Install javascript dependencies:

  yarn install
  

• Start the webpack dev server to run the application in dev-mode with:

  • Environment variables:

  REACT_APP_API_URL: required, URL of the BM Inventory
  BROWSER: optional, locally installed browser used to open the web application in
  

  • Command:

  REACT_APP_API_URL=[YOUR_ASSISTED-SERVICE_URL] yarn start
  

  • Example:

  REACT_APP_API_URL=`minikube service assisted-service --url` BROWSER=chromium-browser yarn start
  

• Open the UI at http://localhost:3000

Running integration tests

TBD

Running the production server

TBD

Production build

You can compile the production executable by running:

$ yarn build

Optionally, set REACT_APP_BUILD_MODE=single-cluster environment variable to disable multi-cluster features. Example:

$ REACT_APP_BUILD_MODE=single-cluster yarn build

Container image build

You can build the container image by running:

$ podman build -t quay.io/edge-infrastructure/assisted-installer-ui:latest . --build-arg REACT_APP_GIT_SHA="$(git rev-parse HEAD)" --build-arg REACT_APP_VERSION=latest

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

yarn install

Installs dependencies to node_modules directory

yarn format

This application uses Prettier to check and format code. You can run the above command to clean your code, or you can integrate it with your editor, and set up a Prettier extension and formatting changes will automatically be applied when you save.

yarn start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

yarn test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

yarn run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

yarn run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (Webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project, so you have full control over them. All the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts, so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However, we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
