You created the yaml for the source and secret?
g
...and this is where I'm made painfully aware of how long it's been since I touched Kubernetes 🙂
how would I go about creating those sources?
(I apologise for the doubtless dumb question)
b
You can use a flat file and
kubectl create -f <path-to-your-local-file>
Or you can use the Rancher UI
and the import yaml button at the top right
g
I haven't connected kubectl nor Rancher as yet, so I guess that's why I'm failing hard right now. Is there a way to do this in the Harvester UI?
b
So this is gonna be a little weird...
Harvester is built on top of K8s and rancher.
But it's also meant to connect to an upstream rancher
which isn't the same as the built in rancher.
g
Ah ok, so I kinda need to deploy Rancher in order to leverage the addon?
b
No, you need to go to the built in rancher to use the UI import yaml stuff
g
ok, just so I'm clear then: when you say Rancher, do you mean the regular harvester UI, or is there something else I should be looking at?
b
A picture is worth a thousand words
g
thank you!
that makes things a lot simpler - I can poke at this for sure
I really appreciate your help here, thank you!
b
That brings you to the rancher UI that's scoped JUST for THIS Harvester instance.
g
huh, odd
b
then you can use the icons up top to get a kube config file and import yaml from the web interface
You might have to enable it from the settings
g
I don't see that option
I wonder if that's been removed in the latest release?
I note that you're on 1.3.2
b
You probably don't care since it's a home lab, but
latest
isn't supported like
stable
is.
There's a big note about how you shouldn't use latest for production
g
gotcha
g
thank you sir!
bingo, there we are
thank you once again for your help and your patience!
b

Worth noting that you may need to check "Enable Extension developer features" in your user settings in harvester, to get the cards to show up for the embedded rancher and longhorn dashboards. Otherwise you can bypass the need to click those cards by going to the embedded urls directly
g
that's what I was missing, but the last docs link got me there 🙂
