How to Install OpenShift on Manjaro

OpenShift is an open-source container application platform that can help you automate the deployment, scaling, and management of your applications. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of OpenShift on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before installing OpenShift on your Manjaro machine, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1 - Install OpenShift CLI

To install OpenShift on Manjaro, we first need to install the OpenShift Command Line Interface (CLI), which allows you to interact with the OpenShift server. Run the following command to install the CLI:

$ sudo pacman -S openshift-cli

Step 2 - Install Okd

Next, we need to install Okd, which is the upstream version of OpenShift. Run the following command to install Okd:

$ sudo snap install okd

Step 3 - Configure Docker

After installing Okd, we need to configure Docker to allow access from Okd. To do this, you need to modify the Docker configuration file at /etc/docker/daemon.json. Run the following command to open the configuration file:

$ sudo nano /etc/docker/daemon.json

Add the following code to the file and save it:

{
    "insecure-registry": [
        "172.30.0.0/16"
    ]
}

Step 4 - Start OpenShift Cluster

The last step is to start the OpenShift cluster by running the following command:

$ sudo okd start

After a few minutes, OpenShift should be up and running, and you can access it by going to http://localhost:8443/console in your web browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenShift on your Manjaro machine. You can now start deploying and managing your applications on OpenShift.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
