    Openshift Console + CNV w/Native K8s

Motive

Running Openshift Console along side a native local K8s is really nice and fast! Very useful for developers looking to test and create new components, and for users looking to take advantage of the console UI with their own cluster.
There are a couple things that are missing:
Metrics and Templates (Kubernetes doesn't support Templates kind, and there is no Prometheus)
Prerequisites


A local K8s cluster (Minikube, Docker Desktop etc..)
Openshift Console

Steps

Deploy Kubevirt

# change this according to the latest STABLE version
export KUBEVIRT_VERSION=v0.25.0
 
export CDI_VERSION=$(curl -s https://github.com/kubevirt/containerized-data-importer/releases/latest | grep -o "v[0-9]\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*")
 
# Deploy Kubevirt, Storage, CDI Pods
kubectl create -f https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/releases/download/$KUBEVIRT_VERSION/kubevirt-operator.yaml
 
kubectl create -f https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/releases/download/$KUBEVIRT_VERSION/kubevirt-cr.yaml

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubevirt/kubevirt.github.io/master/labs/manifests/storage-setup.yml

kubectl create -f https://github.com/kubevirt/containerized-data-importer/releases/download/$CDI_VERSION/cdi-operator.yaml

kubectl create -f https://github.com/kubevirt/containerized-data-importer/releases/download/$CDI_VERSION/cdi-cr.yaml

# Create our kubevirt-native namespace
kubectl create namespace kubevirt-native
Create ConfigMap

Create a YAML file
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: kubevirt-storage-class-defaults
  namespace: kubevirt-native
data:
  accessMode: ReadWriteOnce
  volumeMode: Filesystem
Import it
kubectl create -f file.yaml
Connecting Console to our local Cluster

Once all pods are deployed we want to fetch our cluster token and put it in BRIDGE_K8S_BEARER_TOKEN
kubectl get secrets
kubectl describe secrets/<secret-id-obtained-previously>
export BRIDGE_K8S_BEARER_TOKEN=token
Done!
