Support for OKD 4.1

[gustavocoding]

Recently the dind support in master has received some love in the form a PR: openshift/origin#22293
This should be enough to update the image to the latest code

[AkihiroSuda]

Is this still planned?

dind seems removed in 4.2 :(
openshift/origin#23177

[gustavocoding]

Yes, it stopped being maintained and now it's officially gone. The OKD team is not keen on running it inside docker, the closest available right now is using libvirt from https://github.com/openshift/installer/blob/master/docs/dev/libvirt/README.md, you may give a try

[gustavocoding]

By the way, this issue is still planned, it just won't use the dind-cluster from OKD :)

Does openshift/installer technically/legally require non-okd OpenShift license?

[gustavocoding]

The installer itself is Apache V2, I recommend checking with openshift/installer team which exact version and/or licenses apply to the cluster it installs.

@gustavonalle I was looking for a dind-based solution for OpenShift multiple-node cluster launch to embed into my lab-k8s-playground... then come across here...

Really love this project... but unfortunately, it appears dind will not be officially supported by OKD...

With that, any idea/suggestion, whether there's alternatives, and will this project still be maintained and go forward?

[gustavocoding]

I recommend you to check Code Ready from Red Hat

https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2019/09/05/red-hat-openshift-4-on-your-laptop-introducing-red-hat-codeready-containers/

It's not dind, but I had some good reviews of people using it

[morningspace]

Yeah, actually I am looking at crc, which looks to be the official approach recommended by Red Hat. But it seems to be single node rather than multiple nodes. Also, it's only applicable to 4.x, not 3.x.

BTW: Thanks for your prompt reply :-) @gustavonalle

By the way, this issue is still planned, it just won't use the dind-cluster from OKD :)

@gustavonalle I love this approach because it dramatically increases the adoption of openshift for multi-node development without forcing the Red Hat OS.

Am a stakeholder in having it brought up to date,
Please advise on your latest take on this design : any limitations or roadblocks?
