Local Cluster - Create v2

Register a local Cluster in the Flowgear Console before installing and connecting its first Host.

Prerequisites

  • You must be signed in to the Flowgear Console.
  • You need permission to create local Clusters on the Site.

Step 1: Open Local Clusters

Open Local Clusters in the Flowgear Console.

Step 2: Create a local Cluster

  1. Click New local Cluster. This opens the New local Cluster page.
  2. Enter a Name.
  3. Optionally, enter a Description.
  4. Click Save changes.

After you save, the Cluster opens on its detail page and appears in the Local Clusters list as Offline until a Host connects.

Step 3: Review the setup steps

The detail page shows the Cluster's Details and Certificate sections on the left, and its Hosts on the right. Because the new Cluster has no Hosts yet, the Set up this Cluster section is open under Hosts. It contains:

  • A Download installer button for the Host installer.
  • The Cluster's config.json, with buttons to copy or download it. You paste this into the Flowgear Local Cluster Manager app on each Host.
  • A reminder to trust the Cluster's certificate under Candidate certificates after the Host sends it.

The Certificate section shows No trusted certificate until you trust a certificate during setup.
