crc-org / crc-extension Goto Github PK

I have installed OpenShift Local from the extension:

Now inside of Podman Desktop, I'm getting asked to install a preset:

If I hit "escape", then I have "install" again displayed on the dashboard and I need to redownload OpenShift Local entirely.

If I hit "microshift", then
I'm in a weird state, where I have multiple statuses displayed:

And it even seems to be stuck:

By default we have openshift preset enabled with default mem/cpu. But if a user want to use microshift preset then it doesn't change the defaults cpu/memory in the extension side and have it same.

I am usually picking up custom location where I install crc (linux, windows), it would be nice to offer a user a way to setup crc which is not on PATH.

Provide a input field in CRC extension page for crc binary.

The original tray handled the telemetry gathering for the UI-related actions. If Podman Desktop can return if consent has been given, we can use this functionality to allow this to prevent an additional consent prompt.

Note: the backend already knows where actions originate from, so the telemetry in that case is redundant.

The defaults and presets are currently part of package.json

but this would cause problems, as these values are based on the preset that is chosen.

I had CRC v2.5 installed, and it was shown on the dashboard. I needed to update to the latest (2.17 currently) but there's no help to do it. We should prompt the user to update and help them do it.

@themr0c, this is something we have to start outlining.
Especially in light of: containers/podman-desktop#1686 (comment)

This is a follow-up to #83. To correctly inform the user, we should provide the current version of CRC, the installed version of OpenShift and possible new version

I had the following configuration:

• CRC installed on my machine
• daemon was not running

I choose Initiliaze only, it started the daemon but when I got to the Resource page it is still empty

Seems to initialize using sh/bash command:

We need to implement update flow with podman-desktop API for update of installed binary

I had the CRC 2.5 cli installed. The extension showed it as stopped, and clicking Start from the system tray showed no change nor error.

After I upgraded from the command line to 2.17 it worked fine. I'm ok having to update, but there should have been some failure in the UI when I tried to start.

Versions

OS: Windows 10 Pro
podman-desktop:  built from master
CRC extension: ghcr.io/crc-org/crc-extension:latest

After finishing the installation for CRC to work, we need to reboot the machine, while doing the installation from the extension/podman-desktop this is notified to the user via a message box that asks user to reboot, but after a few seconds of showing the msg box a new msg box is shown asking the user to select a preset and once selection is made or cancelled in which case the default preset is used, it goes on to download the bundle.

Screen recording of the above flow

Trying to start CRC and go on with the suggested flow will eventually lead to the following error:

Q: Should we wait till the user reboots to show the preset selection msg box next time podman-desktop is started? as without a reboot user won't be able to use CRC.
Q: Can we put a Reboot button on the msg box that notifies the user to just click and reboot the machine?

Hello, FYI starting on a fresh OS install (no crc at all installed)

I got

Upon the activation of the extension

Perhaps:

should be OpenShift Local instead of OpenShift

I now see the OpenShift Local instance under Settings > Resources (yay!). I clicked on the delete button and get a notification that is has been deleted, but it is still there. I can delete a second time and get an error that it doesn't exist and I can click start (?) to create it.

Expectation: Clicking delete makes it disappear, and then I need to create a new instance before I can see (and start) it again.

The extension should get a consistent naming - "OpenShift Local" instead of CRC. And it should also use the OpenShift icon

Like in tray-electron, add a functionality to the tray menu to allow the user to start a developer prompt that sets oc-env.

When a preset is to be chosen, the labels are microshift and openshift, they should be MicroShift and OpenShift

We need to come up with a solution to more clearly indicate the location to get the pull-secret, as the palette option is hard to understand; not very visible and provides no information on the next step to solve this.

While we have:

• containers/podman-desktop#1920
• containers/podman-desktop#1992

It is not clear when this will be available.

The extension need to properly request the pullsecret when needed and perform basic validation before setting it.

On startup, when no pull-secret is available, the start will be postponed until the user has provided this; a dialog or input will be shown to collect this.

The user should be abel to provide the pull-secret from the configuration before start.

Basic validation is performed to make sure the pull-secret is a valid json message; a simple { and } is sufficient as a first increment.

Betttr to use https:/github.com/containers/podman-desktop.git

otherwise access rights are needed

In the image I notice the incorrect formatting of the name again: Openshift-Local, which should be OpenShift-Local.

• Install extension from current master
• No cluster exist on the system
• Go to the preference an selected preset as microshift
• Now want to start the cluster

It hangs Starting stage until manually refresh and also that is not even starting the cluster (no crc start process when click to start)

The dev console print following as soon as I hit Run Openshift Local

As part of the onboarding of Podman Desktop, we need a way to be 'recommended' or allow the download to happen/activated. This is part of the Podman Desktop onboarding timeline. I created issue: https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop-internal/issues/83.

Note: The extension is already published, but might need to move to a new namespace; ref containers/podman-desktop#20

• add documentation to install
• publish release to quay.io/redhat-developer/openshift-local-extension

Now we are using several scripts for build, some of them in JavaScript and some in TypeScript.
Need to rewrite them in to TypeScript.

Yes, we want to focus on hosting OpenShift and Microshift. But if you happen to have crc installed and used the podman preset, the extension is unable to do anything; trying to initialize hangs indefinitely. You are essentially stuck in this situation until you use the cli to delete and reset the config preset: https://access.redhat.com/discussions/6895111?tour=8

We should do the minimum to notify or help the user out of this situation. Ideally the other actions in the UI would be disabled and there'd be a warning with an optional action to fix the situation; even a warning with a link to a doc would be ok.

When installing from a fresh environment. When the popup is asking to choose a preset, if the user presses "ESC3 on the keyboard, the download process still start.

We need to provide an indication to the end user onto where to get the pull secret, otherwise, most users will be just stuck

It is requested to show the preset that is selected on the dashboard. This currently shows OpenShift Local is running based on the provider state.

It is not clear how much we can actually add and how this can be formatted. but this could be {ProductName}: {preset} is {state}

I had a cluster created from the extension, but it's impossible to restart it.

On my laptop, I'm using iTerm.
When clicking on "Open developer terminal" it uses the MacOS terminal, while it should use my default one.

I click on the install and then it started downloading the pkg file and I can see the status bar. Then I just exploring other options and came back to dashboard and I see the install button again available to use so I again clicked it and I can see now in the status bar a new Downloading Openshift Local and previous one is just stopped at 26%.

The Dashboard widget should be providing more information:

• What is the version of OpenShift Local
• What is the preset currently selected
• Where can I configure the OpenShift Local settings

Subtasks

• #91
• #99

When containers/podman-desktop#2187 is merged, we could use that API to indicate long running task:

• Download of installer
• Download of bundle
• bundle unpacking
• crc setup progress
• Starting VM
• Stopping VM

We need to update the README file to have installation and update steps of the extension (if possible may be a gif which shows how it is installed).

This is tracking issue for having the same controls like kind/podman resources have.

Missing on the resource page is:

• opening terminal
• opening console (openshift only)
• credentials (as this is needed for console)

At the moment, the API is missing for this.

From the settings, it would be nice to be able to add a button that opens the config file of CRC.

As of now we have option Push Image to kind cluster which works with kind cluster. We also need an option for Push Image to OpenShift Local cluster which sync image from podman machine instance to OpenShift Local instance.

Moved from containers/podman-desktop#2263

Allow configuration changes be made to:

• Disk-size
• vCPU
• Memory

and keep these in sync with the crc-daemon and extension.

Currently blocked by: containers/podman-desktop#1732

I've closed Podman Desktop.
Now it is showing this:

I have no idea on how I can start it.
The resource page is also shown empty

The current extension description is a bit wordy:
"This extension provides a Red Hat OpenShift Local cluster and allows Podman Desktop to interact with it"
and stands out from the other extensions. It should probably be something more like:
"Integration for OpenShift Local"
or at least start with that and include a short description of what OpenShift Local is or what you can do with it.

We should have information displayed here:

• Resources of the cluster
• Status
• Preset

And links:

• To the developer terminal
• To the console if it exists

Exists here: https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop-internal/issues/85
