hey @oiclid - thanks for the update. This is coming along nicely. I left a few comments but yes, I noticed that the provider console wasn't loading pages and data correctly today as well - @jigar-arc10 @devalpatel67 - can you please look into this asap?

maybe explain why the user is importing a wallet a second time (since step 1 asked for the same thing)?
Please tell me which pages were not loading for you. I browsed through the application, and it works fine. |
|
@devalpatel67 It happens at the final step after importing the wallet.

@anilmurty @devalpatel67 @brewsterdrinkwater Please take a look at the provider console doc I created. Thanks |

The following section is only necessary if the user's machine is not ready to be logged in using the root user.
I would not include it here but rather point them to another page, "How to enable root user sign-in?".

| You may now go ahead and create a provider to lease out to users. | ||

| 1. Click on the `Create Provider` button. You will be redirected to the`Import Wallet` page. |

When they click Create Provider, this is not the first screen they will see. In fact, the import wallet is the last screen they will see while setting up the provider.

| 3. Fill in the requested information for your `Control Plane Node`. Make sure you choose how you would like to provide your credentials: select either one `ssh` or `password`. Repeat the process for all of your nodes. | ||

It would be nice if we guide them here on what kind of data they need to fill out.

There should be a section here explaining the DNS changes they must make for their Domain name to work. For their provider service, they must point their machines' public IPs to the provider.example.com domain name and the *.ingress.example.com domain name.
@anilmurty @brewsterdrinkwater Still have a little left to be done because the console seems to have stopped working earlier today. I'll keep on trying. this is just the first draft, so no need to merge it yet. Fixing the grammar right now while I wait for console to start working again.
