UI Component deprecated? + Node Template configuration #9

Open timdah opened 2 years ago

timdah commented 2 years ago

Hello, the readme mentions to add the custom UI Url but this results in an error loading the driver when trying to add a Node Template. It works out of the box without the UI component but I was missing some configuration options so I wanted to try the UI component. Regarding that I have some questions:

  1. Is the UI component outdated and should not be used?
  2. Are there other platform images supported beside Oracle Linux?
  3. Is it possible to configure the Node template more detailed, e.g with boot volume size, networking settings, ssh keys? In general all the stuff that can be configured using the OCI console.

Kind regards

Hey Tim. Thanks for the questions / feedback.

  1. The UI component is built into Rancher. So, you just need to activate the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure driver to start using it i.e. the Custom UI URL field of the driver should be blank.
  2. Currently, the OCI node driver only supports OL base images. Feel free to file an issue either here or in rancher/rancher requesting that other operating systems besides OL be supported - there may already be an issue requesting that.
  3. For any additional setting you'd like to see be added to the node-template, I again suggest filing separate issues so we can look at each individually. It also helps us with allocating time and effort to it. I will say that because nodes attach themselves to existing VCNs/Subnets, many network settings are handled outside of the node template and/or will be automatically inherited by the node. For example, if you specify a private node subnet in the template, your node would not be assigned a public IP - we don't necessarily need this setting in the template.
