Development
This package contains a small web-server that will serve up the custom driver UI at http://localhost:3000/component.js. You can run this while developing and point the Rancher settings there.
npm installnpm start- The driver name can be optionally overridden:
npm start -- --name=metal - The compiled files are viewable at http://localhost:3000.
- Note: The development server does not currently automatically restart when files are changed.
Building
For other users to see your driver, you need to build it and host the output on a server accessible from their browsers.
npm installnpm run build- Copy the contents of the
distdirectory onto a webserver.- If your Rancher is configured to use HA or SSL, the server must also be available via HTTPS.
