This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Openshift on nixOS Latest step by step.
Before we start installing Openshift, we need to install some dependencies required for it to run. We can install them by running the following command:
sudo nix-env -i git podman skopeo
This will install git, podman, and skopeo packages on your system.
The next step is to clone the Openshift repository from GitHub. We can do this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/openshift/origin.git
This will create a new directory named origin in your current directory and will download the repository files into it.
Now, we need to create a new configuration file for Openshift in the system. To do this, create a new file at the path /etc/nixos/configuration.nix and add the following lines to it:
{ config, pkgs, ... }:
{
services.openshift = {
enable = true;
version = "4.9";
baseDomain = "yourdomain.com";
clusterName = "yourclustername";
streamingMode = true;
oidcIssuerURL = "yourissuerurl";
oidcClientID = "yourclientid";
oidcClientSecret = "yourclientsecret";
};
}
You can change the values of the properties, such as version, baseDomain, clusterName, streamingMode, oidcIssuerURL, oidcClientID, and oidcClientSecret according to your requirements.
After updating the system configuration, we need to activate the changes by running the following command:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This will rebuild the system configuration file and apply the changes.
Finally, we can start the Openshift services by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start openshift
This will start the Openshift service on your system.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Openshift on nixOS Latest by installing dependencies, cloning the Openshift repository, updating the system configuration, activating the configuration, and starting the Openshift services. Now, you can start using the Openshift platform on your nixOS Latest system.
