+# Containerized Microshift 
+
+## Pre-requisite
+
+Before runnng microshift-containerized as a systemd service, ensure to update the host `crio-bridge.conf` as
+
+```bash
+{
+    "cniVersion": "0.4.0",
+    "name": "crio",
+    "type": "bridge",
+    "bridge": "cni0",
+    "isGateway": true,
+    "ipMasq": true,
+    "hairpinMode": true,
+    "ipam": {
+        "type": "host-local",
+        "routes": [
+            { "dst": "0.0.0.0/0" }
+        ],
+        "ranges": [
+            [{ "subnet": "10.42.0.0/24" }]
+        ]
+    }
+}
+```
+## Run microshift-containerized as a systemd service
+
+Copy microshift-containerized unit file to `/etc/systemd` and the microshift-containerized run script to `/usr/bin`
+
+```bash
+sudo cp packaging/systemd/microshift-containerized.service /etc/systemd/system/microshift-containerized.service
+sudo cp packaging/systemd/microshift-containerized /usr/bin/
+```
+Now enable and start the service. The KUBECONFIG location will be written to `/etc/microshift-containerized/microshift-containerized.conf`.    
+
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl enable microshift-containerized --now
+source /etc/microshift-containerized/microshift-containerized.conf
+```
+
+Verify that microshift is running.
+```
+kubectl get pods -A
+```
+
+Stop microshift-containerized service
+
+```bash
+systemctl stop microshift-containerized
+```
+
+You can check microshift-containerized via
+
+```bash
+sudo podman ps
+sudo critcl ps
+```
+
+To access the cluster on the host or inside the container
+
+### Access the cluster inside the container
+Execute the following command to get into the container:
+
+```bash
+sudo podman exec -ti microshift-containerized bash
+```
+Inside the container, run the following to see the pods:
+
+```bash
+export KUBECONFIG=/var/lib/microshift/resources/kubeadmin/kubeconfig
+kubectl get pods -A
+```
+
+### Access the cluster on the host
+#### Linux
+```bash
+export KUBECONFIG=/var/lib/microshift/resources/kubeadmin/kubeconfig
+kubectl get pods -A -w
+```
