...
A Cluster is a collection of Virtual Machines.
Links
- There's a basic Ansible Role for installing OpenShift here.
- The OpenShift docu are either weak or outdated in most cases, and the authors of OpenShift tend to answer online questions with "You're using the product wrong", rather than be helpful, so, good documentation is hard to find. Here's a couple useful links - surprise, surprise - not from the OpenShift docu:
- https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-container/openshift/containers.html

First working cluster was built like so:

| #!/bin/bash
# ===========================================================
# [1] get prerequisites, openshift client, and set hostname #
# ===========================================================
# need wget and docker
sudo yum -y install wget docker
# get the latest open shift client from https://github.com/openshift/origin/releases
wget https://github.com/openshift/origin/releases/download/v3.9.0/openshift-origin-client-tools-v3.9.0-191fece-linux-64bit.tar.gz
# extract the latest open shift client you just downloaded
tar zxf openshift-origin-client-tools-v3.9.0-191fece-linux-64bit.tar.gz
# move the oc executable somewhere so it's on most PATHS
sudo mv openshift-origin-client-tools-v3.9.0-191fece-linux-64bit/oc /usr/local/bin/
# add your ip address to /etc/hosts
sudo -- sh -c "echo 139.162.131.60 localhost.openshift >> /etc/hosts"
# ==========================================
# [2] configure docker and start openshift #
# ==========================================
# unless you have a cert, tell docker to use insecure resgistries
sudo -- sh -c "echo "{\"insecure-registries\"" : ["\"139.162.131.60:5000\"", "\"172.30.0.0/16\""]} > /etc/docker/daemon.json"
# the file should look like this: {"insecure-registries" : ["139.162.131.60:5000", "172.30.0.0/16"]}
# now need to make docker mounts 'shared' ... guidance is here: https://docs.portworx.com/knowledgebase/shared-mount-propogation.html#redhatcentos-configuration-and-shared-mounts ... TL;DR: remove the line starting with 'MountFlags' from /lib/systemd/system/docker.service ... OS-level --make-shared does NOT work!
sed -i '/^MountFlags/d' /lib/systemd/system/docker.service
# reload docker
sudo service docker reload
# create the openshift cluster ... seems must be run as 'root', not even sudo works because it doesn't find oc on PATH
oc cluster up --public-hostname 139.162.131.60
# now you should be able to visit 139.162.131.60:8443 and log in using (by default) *any* credentials you choose ... whatever you enter, it'll create that acct for you
