Storage pool provisioning with Ansible instead of Virtual Machine Manager GUI

The storage pool default will be created in the system context.

Destination /okd_lab

Many things still hard coded. But in line with the defaults introduced by project team.

@manfredmuth Cool! I will come back to you when I had more time this week. So far many thx for your contribution!

@manfredmuth The default pool is available in my installation of CentOS. Did you install with my doxs or do you have your own libvirt installation?

@manfredmuth regarding vnc... there was a bug in my docs with the port. The vnc server is started automatically on localhost 5999. Why did you start it manually?

I used the standard Hetzner CentOS 7.8 install and folloowed the installation instructions in the documentation. But the default storage pool in context qemu:https:///system was not created by default.

You are right. the vncserver was started by default. Seems I cured my homemade problems by starting it manually on a different port

@manfredmuth To be honest I installed it many times and the default pool was always in place. I wonder a little... perhaps it's created when starting the GUI application, what I always do?

[disposab1e]

When you install it with Hetzner.... do you choose "Linux" or "VNC" as installation type?

[disposab1e]

vnc is a little bit tricky... but when you do it exactly as documented all should work fine.

I use the VNC option

And I'm sure:

Software Selection
Virtualization Host
Virtualization Platform
System Administration Tools

Yes - exactly this ....

Ok... I try to reproduce...

[disposab1e]

Yes it's missing when you not start the GUI "Applications -> System Tools -> Virtual Machine Manager" what I have always done after a fresh installation.

The GUI does all the initial setup...

I hope you don't mind! I have decided to document it instead of using your ansible files for the following reasons:

• For the storage location it's easiest to use /var/lib/libvirt/images
• But most imporatnt: I will migrate more and more of some ansible files to terraform (ses an example here)

I also fixed the wrong file pathes for sizing and your "It's" to "It is"

All is done on the release-0.0.4 branch. I will switch to newest software and openshift versions on this branch too before I release a new version.

Anyway... it's a pleasure that you have used my small project and found this ugly bug!

Everything else was working for you out of the box?

[manfredmuth]

Fine - you are the boss!
Everything else is working

[disposab1e]

Great that everything else works for you. If you want to have some enhancements please let me know. I leave this pull request open for all others who want to go a different way than with the VMM GUI.

Time to close it...
