Chapter 3. General issues

Issues affecting all supported platforms.

3.1. Embedded certificates expire after 30 days

Each released crc binary includes an embedded system bundle that expires 30 days after the release due to certificates embedded in the OpenShift cluster.

Certificate recovery is automatic, but will add approximately three minutes to the start time of the CodeReady Containers virtual machine.

3.2. Metrics are disabled by default

To ensure CodeReady Containers can run on a typical laptop, some resource-heavy services are disabled by default. One of these services is Prometheus and all of the related monitoring, alerting, and telemetry functionality.

Enabling these features will require more resources than the CodeReady Containers virtual machine uses by default.

3.3. Hang on startup with an AMD Ryzen 3000 series CPU

The CodeReady Containers virtual machine may hang on startup via the crc start command due to a hardware bug.

To resolve this issue, install the latest BIOS update for your motherboard.

3.4. Enabling multiple Operators requires more memory than the default

The crc start command assigns 8 GiB of memory to the CodeReady Containers virtual machine by default. Enabling multiple Operators may increase memory requirements.

See Configuring the virtual machine in the Red Hat CodeReady Containers Getting Started Guide to assign additional memory.
