  • Openshift local installation on Windows not on the C-drive

    Posted on

    By default Openshift Local is installed on Windows 11 on the folder c:\users.crc. The installation takes about (at least) 35 GB of my C-drive.

    How can I install Openshift local NOT on the C-drive?

    The C-drive is primarily for installing programs. Not for stuff over 30 Gig, bigger stuff may jeopardize my system.

    What did I tried so far?

    • Using a CRC_HOME elsewhere does not work.
    • Symbolic link from c:\users\myuser.crc to another folder.
    • I tried running Openshift local inside an Ubuntu VM under WSL2, but then I get an error message that this is not allowed.
    • Creating all stuff under Hyper-V, virtual box is too much.
    • Minishift, Microshift or any equivalent? My major goal is creating and experimenting with pipelines so I can install them fluently in the main Openshift environment.

    So, I hope you can help on a regular installation on Windows outside the C-drive, because I like to take the next step with Openshift.
