In Part 1 of this guide we install a three-node OCP 4.7 cluster using the assisted installer. In Part 2 we will:

  • Download and configure the oc client
  • Setup an authentication provider using htpasswd
  • Configure the registry (non-production)
  • Create an ephemeral Drupal project.

Download the oc client:

Browse to https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/x86_64/clients/ocp/stable/ and download the client appropriate for your system.

For Linux clients, wget the client tar file, extract the client tar file, and move the kubectl and oc executables to /usr/local/bin:

wget https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/x86_64/clients/ocp/stable/openshift-client-linux.tar.gz
tar -zxvf openshift-client-linux.tar.gz
sudo mv kubectl/usr/local/bin/

Test the oc client:

Download the kubeconfig for your cluster from cloud.redhat.com:
