Internal error occurred: error resolving resource when running on plain k8s

[david-martin]

I see the README is geared at the hub cluster being Openshift,
however I also see this wording that suggests may this can work on plain k8s as well?

Note: By default, the API conversion webhook use on the OpenShift service serving certificate feature to manage the certificate, you can replace it with cert-manager if you want to run the multicluster-observability-operator in a kubernetes cluster.

I'm using local kind clusters with k8s v1.26.0
I've gotten as far as the below command but hitting an error.
I'm thinking it could be related to the webhook?

kubectl -n open-cluster-management-observability apply -f operators/multiclusterobservability/config/samples/observability_v1beta2_multiclusterobservability.yaml

Error from server (InternalError): error when retrieving current configuration of:
Resource: "observability.open-cluster-management.io/v1beta2, Resource=multiclusterobservabilities", GroupVersionKind: "observability.open-cluster-management.io/v1beta2, Kind=MultiClusterObservability"
Name: "observability", Namespace: ""
from server for: "operators/multiclusterobservability/config/samples/observability_v1beta2_multiclusterobservability.yaml": Internal error occurred: error resolving resource

Is there a way I can get this add-on to work with plain k8s?

Looks like a cert issue alright

kubectl -n open-cluster-management describe po multicluster-observability-operator-77446bdd89-xp4fm| grep -A 6 Events

And I can see the openshift annotation on the service.

kubectl -n open-cluster-management get svc multicluster-observability-webhook-service -o yaml | grep "serving-cert-secret-name"
      {"apiVersion":"v1","kind":"Service","metadata":{"annotations":{"service.beta.openshift.io/serving-cert-secret-name":"multicluster-observability-operator-webhook-server-cert"},"labels":{"name":"multicluster-observability-operator"},"name":"multicluster-observability-webhook-service","namespace":"open-cluster-management"},"spec":{"ports":[{"port":443,"protocol":"TCP","targetPort":9443}],"selector":{"name":"multicluster-observability-operator"}}}
    service.beta.openshift.io/serving-cert-secret-name: multicluster-observability-operator-webhook-server-cert

I wonder what steps are required to get cert-manager to inject the cert in the right place

[david-martin]

I've gotten a little further with the help of cert-manager.
Here's some commands I used:

Install cert-manager

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.11.0/cert-manager.yaml

Create a Certificate for the webhook service

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f - 
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: Issuer
metadata:
  name: multicluster-observability-operator-issuer
  namespace: open-cluster-management
spec:
  selfSigned: {}
EOF
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f - 
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: Certificate
metadata:
  name: multicluster-observability-operator-webhook-server-cert
  namespace: open-cluster-management
spec:
  dnsNames:
    - multicluster-observability-webhook-service.open-cluster-management.svc
  secretName: multicluster-observability-operator-webhook-server-cert
  issuerRef:
    name: multicluster-observability-operator-issuer
EOF

Add cert-manager inject annotation to CRD & ValidatingWebhookConfiguration.

kubectl annotate crd multiclusterobservabilities.observability.open-cluster-management.io cert-manager.io/inject-ca-from=open-cluster-management/multicluster-observability-operator-webhook-server-cert
kubectl annotate ValidatingWebhookConfiguration multicluster-observability-operator cert-manager.io/inject-ca-from=open-cluster-management/multicluster-observability-operator-webhook-server-cert

Now I can list and create MultiClusterObservability CRs.
When I do that, creating the example from the repo at operators/multiclusterobservability/config/samples/observability_v1beta2_multiclusterobservability.yaml, I'm seeing a new set of problems.

kubectl -n open-cluster-management-observability get pod

The ImagePullBackOff is due to a missing image tag in quay:
