Edge-Image-Automation

Why

We need an automated way of creating the artifacts (image iso & application) that are required to run Chris in a Box (ChBox).

The following are required while we are deploying to the Edge

Edge Device (Example - Onlogic HX500)
Blueprint
Kickstart
Ansible Automation Platform
OSTree remote (A remote repository or server that stores OSTree objects, which can include versioned file system trees, binaries, and other content used in the management and deployment of the operating system. OSTree remotes serve as a source from which clients can download and deploy updates or new versions of the file system.)

Perform the changes and update version of the Blueprint in the edge-device.yaml so that the Ansible Automation Platform wil trigger the playbook to generate the iso that can copied from the server manually or remotely.
Once the chris.iso file is ready to use, please use it (copy to a USB drive)to boot the edge device.
Chris services will start automatically after the device has been booted.

Run the command rpm-ostree upgrade
After upgrade is completed , reboot the device using the command` systemctl reboot
Verify to ensure the changes are present

To check the pods run podman pods ps

To check the status of containers run podman ps

To restart chris type systemctl restart minichris.service
