(virtual-) Remote Management Server

The nplus RMS creates a virtual IP Address in your subnet. On this IP, you will find an nscale Remote Management Service and a Layer 4 Proxy, forwarding the ports of the components to the belonging pods.

The result is, that under this VIP, it looks as if there is a real server with a bunch of nscale components installed. So you can use the desktop admin client to connect to it and configure it. Including offline configuration.

The offline configuration writes settings to the configuration files of the components. These files are injected into the Pods by nplus making the legacy magic work again.

Also, Shotdown, Startup and Restart buttons in the Admin client will work, as that will by translated to Kubernetes commands by nplus

Anyways, there are some restrictions:

In a HA scenario, you need multiple virtual server, as nscale does not allow some components to deploy more than one instance per server (like nstl) and they would then also block the default ports. So better to have more RMS
Log Files are not written, so the Admin cannot grab them. So no log file viewing in Admin

Please notice that this is a BETA Feature not released for Production use.

This is a sample of RMS in a HA environment with two virtual servers:

components:
  rmsa: true
  rmsb: true

rmsa:
  ingress:
    domain: "server1.{{ .instance.group | default .Release.Name }}.lab.nplus.cloud"
  comps:
    nappl: 
      enabled: true
      restartReplicas: 2
    nstl:
      enabled: true
      name: nstla
      restartReplicas: 1
      host: "{{ .component.prefix }}nstla.{{ .Release.Namespace }}.svc.cluster.local"
    rs: 
      enabled: true
      restartReplicas: 2
    web: 
      enabled: true
      restartReplicas: 2
rmsb:
  ingress:
    domain: "server2.{{ .instance.group | default .Release.Name }}.lab.nplus.cloud"
  comps:
    nappl: 
      enabled: true
      name: nappljobs
      restartReplicas: 1
      replicaSetType: StatefulSet
      host: "{{ .component.prefix }}nappljobs.{{ .Release.Namespace }}.svc.cluster.local"
    nstl: 
      name: nstlb
      enabled: true
      restartReplicas: 1
      host: "{{ .component.prefix }}nstlb.{{ .Release.Namespace }}.svc.cluster.local"
