Local UI

Once Palette Edge has been installed on the Edge host and the Edge host has gone through initial configuration, you will be able to access Local UI.

  • In airgapped Edge hosts, Local UI allows you to manage Edge hosts in your network locally, upload content bundles containing images, Helm charts, and packs, and create Edge clusters locally in disconnected environments without connections to a Palette instance.
  • In connected Edge hosts, you cannot use the cluster-related functionalities because the cluster is managed by Palette, but you can still utilize Local UI to configure and manage the Edge host itself.

Get Started​

  • Refer to Access Local UI for guidance on how to access Local UI and update your credentials.

  • If you already included a content bundle and a cluster definition in your installer ISO, you can create a cluster in your airgapped Edge host using the resources in the ISO directly. Refer to Create Local Cluster for guidance. Refer to EdgeForge Workflow for guidance on how to include content bundles and cluster definitions in your ISO.

  • If you did not provide a content bundle or cluster definition, or if you want to provide new content from which to build clusters, refer to the following guides to upload content bundles and export cluster definitions.

Cluster Management​

Cluster management features are only available to airgapped Edge hosts.

Host Management​

Most host management features, with the exception of Factory Reset, are available on both airgapped and connected Edge hosts.
