Orchest install stucks at setting up the Orchest Cluster

[everestas]

Describe the bug
I am trying to deploy Orchest.io on AKS. I am running:
sh orchest install
and it gets stuck at:

Installing the Orchest Controller to manage the Orchest Cluster...
Setting up the Orchest Cluster...
🚶 Initializing

Logs from orchest-controller:

kubectl -n orchest logs -l app.kubernetes.io/name=orchest-controller

Expected behavior
Orchest gets installed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run sh orchest install

Environment

• OS (e.g. macOS): WSL2
• Browser (e.g. Chrome): Edge
• Orchest's version (in the settings page): v2022.11.1

Hi @everestas, thank you for posting the logs of the orchest-controller. At this time we do not support installing Orchest on AKS. Is using AKS a requirement for you?

In case you are looking to create a PR, the problem seems to be caused by:

orchest/services/orchest-controller/pkg/controller/orchestcluster/cluster_utils.go

Lines 411 to 426 in adc0e45

 func detectContainerRuntime(ctx context.Context, 
 	client kubernetes.Interface, orchest *orchestv1alpha1.OrchestCluster) (string, string, error) { 
  
 	// Get the node list 
 	nodeList, err := client.CoreV1().Nodes().List(ctx, metav1.ListOptions{}) 
 	if err != nil { 
 		return "", "", errors.Wrapf(err, "failed to get node list") 
 	} 
  
 	var runtime = "" 
 	for _, node := range nodeList.Items { 
 		// Get the node container runtime 
 		runtimeVersion := node.Status.NodeInfo.ContainerRuntimeVersion 
 		if runtimeVersion == "" { 
 			return "", "", errors.Errorf("failed to get container runtime version") 
 		} 

Not sure though exactly why that fails, since containerd (which we support) is used by default on AKS (although not sure you are using it).

Hi, @yannickperrenet, we have everything on set up on Microsoft products, including our k8s cluster. At the moment AKS is a requirement for us.

Anyway, thanks for your answer!

Totally understandable! Thank you for your response, helps us to prioritize.

@everestas if you're keen we can plan a session to help you get Orchest up and running on AKS. Although we don't officially support it yet, we should be able to get it to work without much issue. Send me an email at [e-mail] and we'll get something scheduled.

It would help you try out Orchest in your desired cloud environment and we'd get some more hands on experience with the AKS peculiarities.

Naturally, it's also OK if you prefer to wait until we officially add support for AKS.
