slemicro: add option to register with elemental #64
Conversation
Adds optional registration with elemental which is possible since a change landed to decouple registration from the choice of OS[1] Note that in this case the VM should not have any k3s or RKE2 deployment enabled, since this will be handled via elemental-system-agent after the host is registered as MachineInventory with elemental Example config: ELEMENTAL_REGISTER=true ELEMENTAL_CONFIG="$HOME/Downloads/test_registrationURL.yaml" Note that test_registrationURL.yaml can be downloaded from the elemental UI, where a MachineRegistration named "test" has been created.

Note that the emulated TPM is required currently - I tried to get the TPM support that landed in the latest UTM versions working, but SLEMicro won't boot - I'll try to figure that out and we can potentially resolve in a follow-up

I'm assuming that the TPM issue is only for UTM and not bare-metal? (I don't think I had this issue with my NUCs)

@agracey I've not tested on bare-metal yet but yes this should just be a VM-specific issue, on UTM if you enable the recently-added TPM support it enables secure-boot, which stops SLEMicro booting - I expect this is solvable (and I know it can be made to work with Libvirt on Linux) but I've not yet had time to dig into it.

LGTM. I'll create an issue to add a couple of things:
- Check if rke2/k3s has been enabled as well and if so, fail
- Run the TPM emulation only on OSX VMs
