The latest version of CRC can be downloaded from Red Hat’s site. It’ll become obvious very quickly when you read this, but you’ll need sudo access on the CRC host machine. In my case, I use a Pi-hole installation running on a Raspberry Pi (which effectively uses dnsmasq as described later in this post). You’ll also need some form of DNS resolution between your client machines and the DNS entries that CRC expects. I ran the following steps on a CentoOS 8 installation, but they should work on any of the supported Linux distributions.

This blog talks about how to configure HAProxy on the host machine to allow access to CRC from elsewhere on the network. Since CRC is deployed as a virtual machine, I needed a way to get to that VM from any other machine on my home network. The hiccup is that while my server is in my basement, I don’t want to have to physically sit at the machine to use it. CodeReady Containers is delivered as a Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machine that supports native hypervisors for Linux, macOS, and Windows 10.” “CodeReady Containers brings a minimal, preconfigured OpenShift 4.1 or newer cluster to your local laptop or desktop computer for development and testing purposes. Rather than try to rephrase what it is, I’ll just copy it directly from their site: I have some spare hardware in my basement that I wanted to use as an OpenShift 4 installation, but not enough to warrant a full blown cluster.ĬodeReady Containers, or CRC for short, is perfect for that. While installing an OpenShift cluster on a cloud isn’t difficult, the old school developer in me wants as much of my environment as possible to be in my house and fully under my control.
