Adding the UI and Application Catalogs into a Cluster

Install the UI and application catalogs into an existing Oracle CNE Release 1 Kubernetes cluster.

Use these steps to install the UI and default application catalog into an Oracle CNE Release 1 Kubernetes cluster. Any extra catalogs set up in a configuration file are also installed.

The target cluster must be healthy. You must provide the kubeconfig file for the target cluster.

  1. Install the UI and catalogs.

    Use the ocne cluster start with the --provider option set to none and specify the location of the target cluster's kubeconfig file. The syntax is:

    ocne cluster start 
    [{-u|--auto-start-ui} {true|false}]
    [{-o|--boot-volume-container-image} URI]
    [{-C|--cluster-name} name]
    [{-c|--config} path] 
    [{-n|--control-plane-nodes} integer] 
    [{-i|--key} path]
    [--load-balancer address]
    [{-P|--provider} provider]
    [{-s|--session} URI]
    [{-v|--version} version]
    [--virtual-ip IP]
    [{-w|--worker-nodes} integer]

    For more information on the syntax options, see Oracle Cloud Native Environment: CLI.

    For example:

    ocne cluster start --provider none --kubeconfig $HOME/.kube/kubeconfig.ocne19
  2. Set the kubeconfig file location using an environment variable.

    To access the cluster, set an environment variable to access the Oracle CNE Release 1 cluster. For example:

    export KUBECONFIG=$HOME/.kube/kubeconfig.ocne19
  3. Configure access to the UI.

    Follow the prompts in the output of the ocne cluster start command to set up an access token for the UI. For more information on setting up an access token, see Creating an Access Token.

  4. Verify the catalogs are installed.

    Use the ocne catalog list command to verify the Oracle application catalog, and any external catalogs are installed. The syntax is:

    ocne catalog {list|ls}

    For example:

    ocne catalog list
  5. Verify the list of available applications.

    Use the ocne catalog search command to see the list of applications available in each catalog. The syntax is:

    ocne catalog search 
    [{-N|--name} name]
    [{-p|--pattern} pattern]

    For example, to list all the applications available in the Oracle catalog:

    ocne catalog search
