HTTP Setup

Perform the following steps to set up HTTP access for a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 virtual machine running in OpenShift. It provides creating the VM, installing necessary software, and configuring services and routes for unsecured web access.

Create a RHEL 9 Virtual Machine

•

Open Virtualization > VirtualMachines > Create > From Template.

•

Select Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 template.

•

Click on the template to open it.

•

Update Disk size to 120 GB.

•

Click on Create.

Download and Install RPM

Follow the instructions and perform as described in Flexera RHEL 9 Installation.

Install Firewall

Perform the following steps to install Firewall:

sudo dnf install firewalld -y

sudo systemctl enable firewalld --now

Create a Service for HTTP Access

•

Open Networking > Services > Create Service.

•

In the YAML editor, update:

metadata:

name: your-custom-name

namespace: default

spec:

selector:

kubevirt.io/domain: rhel9-scarlet-unicorn-54

ports:

- protocol: TCP

port: 80

targetPort: 80

Alternatively, use:

selector:

vm.kubevirt.io/name: rhel9-scarlet-unicorn-54

•

Click Create.

Create a Route for HTTP

•

Open Networking > Routes > Create Route.

•

Select the previously created Service.

•

Set Target port to 80.

•

Click Create.

Configure Hostname for the Application

•

Copy the route’s Location value (e.g., http://route-name-default.apps.cluster.example.com).

•

Run:

bash

/usr/local/Secunia/csi/install/installationProcess.sh

•

During the script execution, when prompted for the hostname, use the route location copied in the previous step.

Access the Web Interface

Open the copied route URL in a browser using HTTP.

Example:

http://route-hidden-spider-default.apps.16e1a451-flexerasvm.openshiftpartnerlabs.com/svm
