Red Hat build of MicroShift

You can use the Kickstart file provided with MicroShift to provision a RHEL for Edge-based virtual machine.

Prerequisites

Procedure

Add the following required variables to create an RHEL for Edge Kickstart file:
- The OSTREE_SERVER_URL variable contains an rpm-ostree server URL that is passed to the ostreesetup Kickstart command.
  $ export OSTREE_SERVER_URL="<http://my_ostree_server_url>"
  Replace http://my_ostree_server_url with your server URL.
- The OSTREE_COMMIT_REF variable contains an rpm-ostree commit reference that is installed from the server.
  $ export OSTREE_COMMIT_REF="<myostree_commit_reference>"
  Replace <myostree_commit_reference> with the rpm-ostree commit reference.
Optional. Add the following variable for server authentication:
- The AUTH_CONFIG contents are copied to /etc/ostree/auth.json at the pre-install stage to authenticate access to the OSTREE_SERVER_URL server. If no server authentication is required, skip this setting.
  $ export AUTH_CONFIG="$(cat ~/.ostree-auth.json)"
Run the following command to create the kickstart.ks file to be used during the installation:
```
envsubst < \
    /usr/share/microshift/kickstart/kickstart-ostree.ks.template > \
    "${HOME}/kickstart.ks"
```
The MicroShift version specified in the rpm-ostree commit is installed. To change the version of MicroShift, you must create a new commit.
