From fea89ebf2fad6f1897280b7ccdedcb36b1fce3d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabriel Mougard Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2024 11:54:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] doc: Describe how to manually connect the MicroOVN northbound connection to LXD When a user decides to deploy OVN through a MicroOVN deployment, it is not clearly explained how to connect LXD and MicroOVN. The only missing info was how to correctly setup the northbound connection: `lxc config set network.ovn.northbound_connection ` With `` that MUST use the `ssl::6641`. Passing a UNIX socket targeting `ovnnb_db.sock` inside the MicroOVN snap will produce certificate errors so we MUSN'T use the UNIX notation.
