# Podman Desktop Red Hat SSO Extension

# Red Hat Account extension
An extension for Podman Desktop to simplify logging into and creating a Red Hat account. The extension opens ssh.redhat.com in the browser to retrieve an SSO token upon successful login. The SSO token is then used to log into the [registry.redhat.io](https://catalog.redhat.com/) Container Registry and to register the Linux virtual machine powering Podman Desktop via subscription-manager to grant the containers access to protected Red Hat content such as RHEL repositories.

This extension plugs into Podman Desktop an authentication provider that allows login to Red Hat SSO
# Installation

# Run and build
The extension is currently available in an Alpha version but ready to test. Extension for Podman Desktop are shipped as OCI container images. Please refer to the [Podman Desktop documentation](https://podman-desktop.io/docs/extensions/install) for installation instructions and to [Quay.io](https://quay.io/repository/redhat-developer/podman-desktop-redhat-account-ext?tab=tags) for available tags.

The first available Alpha image is `quay.io/redhat-developer/podman-desktop-redhat-account-ext:0.0.1-alpha.1`.

Starting with Podman 5.0, subscription-manager will be shipped by default. For prior versions, the extension will take care of installing subscription-manager which may take a short while and requires a reboot.

To rebuild podman-desktop and OpenShift Local extension run:
# Usage

```shell
yarn build
```
Once installed, you can find the extension in the Settings menu which you can find in the bottom right corner of Podman Desktop:

```shell
podman-desktop --extension-folder this_folder
```

if using the released bits from Podman Desktop
To sign into your Red Had account, Podman Desktop will open Red Hat SSO in your browser of choice. The SSO form will make sure that each user has accepted the terms and conditions, and has a valid Red Hat [developers subscription](https://developers.redhat.com/about?source=sso). If needed, you may also create a new Red Hat account and further use social login via an existing Google, Microsoft or GitHub accout:

or
Once signed in, there is nothing further to be done. Podman Desktop will automatically use the SSO token to log into the Red Hat container registry and to register the Linux virtual machine (i.e., podman machine) via subscription-manager. The two tasks are listed in the Tasks menu which you can open on the bottom right of Podman Desktop:
![image](screenshots/tasks.png)

```shell
yarn watch --extension-folder this_folder
```
To verify that the sign-in process was successfull, you may build the following Dockerfile:
```Dockerfile
FROM registry.redhat.io/rhel9/toolbox
RUN dnf install -y kernel
````

from the Podman Desktop source folder if using the develpment version from Podman Desktop
Pulling the container image `registry.redhat.io/rhel9/toolbox` requires having logged into the Red Hat container registry. Installing the `kernel` package requires access to protected content.

# Nightly build installation
# Local Development

use `ghcr.io/redhat-developer/podman-desktop-redhat-account-ext:latest` on Settings/Extension page using 'Install a new extension from OCI Image' form (see screenshot below).
