POC of new oVirt User Portal.

Goals

• Built on reusable components
  • deploy User Portal as a self-standing app
  • integrate in ManageIQ
  • customize for your own oVirt UI
• In comparison to recent GWT UserPortal:
  • improved usability and Look&Feel
  • simplified maintenance & ongoing development
  • faster UI responses (incl. start-up)

For more info, see doc/goals.md

How To Run

So far, the UserPortal is under development. User-friendly installation & setup will follow.

For early testing:

Prerequisities:

• Have the oVirt engine running at https://[ENGINE_URL]
  • example: https://engine.local/ovirt-engine
• tested with npm version 3.10.8
  • known issue with missing dependencies with npm v2.15.9

For Development:

• update package.json to (see above):

  • "proxy": "https://[ENGINE_URL]"
  • example at the end of the package.json:
    • "proxy": "https://engine.local/ovirt-engine"

• alternatively using the ENGINE_URL environment variable

  • ENGINE_URL=https://my.other.engine/ovirt-engine npm start
  • when using both the proxy field in package.json and the ENGINE_URL environment variable, the environment setting takes precedence.

• npm i

• HTTPS=true npm start

• access the UserPortal at https://localhost:3000/

Quick run using Docker

If you don't like to burden your system with all required Node.js dependencies, a prebuilt docker image matobet/userportal is available for standalone usage with a running oVirt engine instance.

Just specify where your oVirt engine is running and expose the port 3000 from the container. Example:

docker run --rm -it -e ENGINE_URL=https://my.ovirt.instance/ovirt-engine/ -p 3000:3000 matobet/userportal

Production Build

• npm i && npm run build
• result is in UserPortal/build
• TODO: an RPM will be provided ...

Technical Details

• components maintained in ovirt-ui-components
• based on React, Patternfly, Redux, Redux-Saga
• based on ejected create-react-app
