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

Prerequisities:

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

RPMs

oVirt resources: look for ovirt-web-ui in http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-master-snapshot-static/rpm/

Copr: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mlibra/ovirt-web-ui/

Build

After git clone, run:

./autogen.sh
make    # to create the 'build' directory 
or
make rpm    # to create (s)rpms under 'tmp.repos'

RPM installation

The rpm installs to /user/share/ovirt-web-ui.

New ovirt-web-ui.war is added to the existing ovirt-engine.ear.

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

Technical Details

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