*Summary of changes:
*
In order to improve the user experience when installing RHODS in a disconnected deployment, a RHODS disconnected installer has been introduced, accessed from a Git repository. Users can run the RHODS disconnected installer to quickly install the latest notebook images. This eliminates the requirement for the user to manually update the YAML file with new SHA notebook image hash values at each release.

This repository contains the updated list of additional images needed to install RHODS in a disconnected environment using oc-mirror for the current releases supported by RHODS. The list of images and versions are updated automatically by a GitHub action.

The existing documentation advises users to manually include the SHA values for each notebook in imageset-config.yaml. With the new helper script available, the user no longer needs to manually include each new image in the YAML file.

Customers can run this regularly to get the latest builds of the image digest hashes.

*Documentation changes:
*

• Identify and then remove references in the manually updating disconnected
• Change the documentation in the disconnected installation/upgrade guides to mention the new script.
• Document that, if necessary, you can also copy the list SHA values from the repository page.
• Mention what the impact of the disconnected install tool is.
• Check the entire docs set for any other references to the SHA values.

The GitHub repository containing the installer is automatically updated by a GitHub action that periodically runs a script that gets the images from the manifests of the corresponding RHODS version from the RHODS GitHub repo.
