[WIP] PoC Hostnetworkless Ironic with VirtualMedia Using NodePorts

[mboukhalfa]

⚠️ Do not merge this is only to demonstrate a PoC

This is a small PoC part of the short focus discussion metal3-io/baremetal-operator#1739. It demonstrate running Ironic without hostNetwork, limited to the virtualMedia use case, using a nodePort service.

Changes Needed

1. Edit Ironic Deployment:

   • Remove hostNetwork: true.
   • Remove dnsmasq container.
   • Remove security restrictions to allow root access for debugging inside the containers.

2. Add NodePort Service:

   • Map the following ports:

     - ironic
       30085:6385
     - inspector
       30050:5050
     - httpd
       30080:30080
     

   • Changed the httpd internal port because the HTTP_PORT variable from the dev-env is used in both internal and external configurations, which would require more changes to configure only the external port.

3. Edit Ironic ConfigMap:

   • Remove PROVISIONING_IP so that the runironic script uses the pod's IP from the eth0 interface.
   • Add external Ironic IPs to be published to external components like IPA.

4. Provisioning Networks:

• Remove keepalived since it cannot access the ironicendpoint bridge and instead use manual commands to configure the bridge with the Ironic external IP.
• Manually remove the IP from minikube and add it to the CP node when pivoting.
