Chapter 1. About the default MicroShift configuration file


The MicroShift built-in default settings are listed in a YAML file.

1.1. Configuring Red Hat Device Edge

MicroShift and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) work together to bring a lighter-weight, single-node Kubernetes to the edge. This combination means that there is a single node that is both control-plane and worker. It also means that the operating system handles many functions. You add features by installing optional RPMs or Operators. In many cases, you must configure the operating system or other resources in addition to the MicroShift service.

Bringing many of these pieces together is the MicroShift configuration file, config.yaml. The MicroShift configuration file customizes your application platform and can enable many advanced functions. For example:

  • Ingress is available by default, but you can add advanced functions such as TLS and route admission specifications by using parameters in the MicroShift configuration file.
  • If you do not need storage, you can disable the built-in storage provider by using the MicroShift configuration file. If you do want to use the built-in storage provider, you must make your adjustments in the lvmd.config file. The role of the MicroShift configuration file in this case is to set whether you use the default storage provider.
  • Advanced networking functions, such as using multiple networks. The Multus package is an installable RPM, but you set up access by using the MicroShift configuration file to set parameters. In addition, you must configure network settings on your networks through the host.

For your convenience, a config.yaml.default file is automatically installed. You can copy and rename this file config.yaml and use it as a starting point for your own custom configuration.

Note

You can also add features that operate without configurations to the MicroShift config.yaml file. For example, you can install and configure GitOps for application management without configuring MicroShift.

Note

If you want to make configuration changes or deploy applications through the MicroShift API with tools other than kustomize manifests, you must wait until the greenboot health checks have finished. This ensures that your changes are not lost if greenboot rolls your rpm-ostree system back to an earlier state.

1.2. The MicroShift configuration file

At startup, MicroShift checks the system-wide /etc/microshift/ directory for a configuration file named config.yaml. If the configuration file does not exist in the directory, built-in default values are used to start the service.

You must use the MicroShift configuration file in combination with host and, sometimes, application and service settings. Ensure that you configure each function in tandem when you adjust settings for your MicroShift node.

For your convenience, a config.yaml.default file ready for your inputs is automatically installed.

1.2.1. Default settings

If you do not create a config.yaml file, default values are used. The following example shows the default configuration settings.

  • To see the default values, run the following command:

    $ microshift show-config
