ui-driver-skel

Skeleton Rancher UI driver for custom docker-machine drivers

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
• bower 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.

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 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 (Admin tab -> Settings -> Machine 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 Infrastructure -> Hosts -> Add Host, your driver and custom UI should show up.
