ui-driver-skel

Skeleton Rancher UI driver for custom docker-machine drivers

Note: The Master branch works with Rancher 2.x+, if you are building a custom driver for Rancher 1.x use the 1.x branch

Setup

• Fork this repository into your own account as ui-driver-DRIVERNAME
  • DRIVERNAME should be the name of the driver that you would give to docker-machine create --driver, e.g. "mycompany", "digitalocean", "vultr", etc.
• Update the "name" in package.json to match
  • You should also update description, URLs, etc, but these aren't strictly required.
• npm install

Development

This package contains a small web-server that will serve up the custom driver UI at http://localhost:3000/component.js. You can run this while developing and point the Rancher settings there.

• npm start
• The driver name can be optionally overridden: npm start -- --name=DRIVERNAME
• The compiled files are viewable at http://localhost:3000.
• Note: The development server does not currently automatically restart when files are changed.
• Do not use the model.<drivername>Confg signature to access your driver config in the template file, use the config alias that is already setup in the component

Building

For other users to see your driver, you need to build it and host the output on a server accessible from their browsers.

• npm run build
• Copy the contents of the dist directory onto a webserver.
  • If your Rancher is configured to use HA or SSL, the server must also be available via HTTPS.

Using

• Add a Machine Driver in Rancher 2.0 (Global -> Node Drivers)
  • Name: Your DRIVERNAME (see above).
  • Download URL: The URL for the driver binary (e.g. https://github.com/mycompany/docker-machine-mycompany/releases/download/v1.0.0/docker-machine-driver-mycompany-v1.0.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz)
  • Custom UI URL: The URL you uploaded the dist folder to, e.g. https://github.com/mycompany/ui-driver-mycompany/releases/download/v1.0.0/component.js)
• Wait for the driver to become "Active"
• Go to Clusters -> Add Cluster, your driver and custom UI should show up.
