What this trail covers

This post details the installation of Red Hat OpenShift 4 on a laptop using Red Hat CodeReady Containers (CRC), an open-source alternative to Minishift and Minikube. It covers prerequisites, hardware requirements, installation steps, configuration options (memory, pull secret), starting and stopping the cluster, accessing the cluster via CLI and web console, and notes on certificate expiration. It also mentions a sample project, Cloud Native Starter, for testing deployments on CRC.

All IBM trails
  1. Rancher Desktop: An alternative to Docker DesktopThis post details the technical steps and configurations required to adapt Rancher Desktop for running IBM Edge Application Manager (IEAM) edge agents on macOS. It outlines the creation/update of the `~/Library/Application Support/rancher-desktop/lima/_config/override.yaml` file with specific mount configurations (`mountType: 9p`, `mounts` for `/private/var/tmp`, `/private/etc/default`, `/private/etc/horizon`) and the selection of the '9p' volume type in Rancher Desktop's Virtual Machine preferences. These customizations enable the IEAM edge agent to run as a Docker container on macOS.
