Chapter 2. Installing Dev Spaces This section contains instructions to install Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces. You can deploy only one instance of OpenShift Dev Spaces per cluster. Section 2.1.2, "Installing Dev Spaces on OpenShift using CLI" Section 2.1.3, "Installing Dev Spaces on OpenShift using the web console" Section 2.1.4, "Installing Dev Spaces in a restricted environment" 2.1. Installing Dev Spaces in the cloud Deploy and run Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces in the cloud. Prerequisites A OpenShift cluster to deploy OpenShift Dev Spaces on. dsc : The command line tool for Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces. See: Section 1.2, "Installing the dsc management tool" . 2.1.1. Deploying OpenShift Dev Spaces in the cloud Follow the instructions below to start the OpenShift Dev Spaces Server in the cloud using the dsc tool. Section 2.1.2, "Installing Dev Spaces on OpenShift using CLI" Section 2.1.3, "Installing Dev Spaces on OpenShift using the web console" Section 2.1.4, "Installing Dev Spaces in a restricted environment" https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openshift_dev_spaces/3.14/html-single/user_guide/index#installing-che-on-microsoft-azure 2.1.2. Installing Dev Spaces on OpenShift using CLI You can install OpenShift Dev Spaces on OpenShift. Prerequisites OpenShift Container Platform An active oc session with administrative permissions to the OpenShift cluster. See Getting started with the OpenShift CLI . dsc . See: Section 1.2, "Installing the dsc management tool" . Procedure Optional: If you previously deployed OpenShift Dev Spaces on this OpenShift cluster, ensure that the OpenShift Dev Spaces instance is removed: Create the OpenShift Dev Spaces instance: Verification steps Verify the OpenShift Dev Spaces instance status: Navigate to the OpenShift Dev Spaces cluster instance: 2.1.3. Installing Dev Spaces on OpenShift using the web console If you have trouble installing OpenShift Dev Spaces on the command line , you can install it through the OpenShift web console. Prerequisites An OpenShift web console session by a cluster administrator. See Accessing the web console . An active oc session with administrative permissions to the OpenShift cluster. See Getting started with the OpenShift CLI . For a repeat installation on the same OpenShift cluster: you uninstalled the OpenShift Dev Spaces instance according to Chapter 8, Uninstalling Dev Spaces . Procedure In the Administrator view of the OpenShift web console, go to Operators OperatorHub and search for Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces . Install the Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces Operator. Tip See Installing from OperatorHub using the web console . Caution The Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces Operator depends on the Dev Workspace Operator. If you install the Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces Operator manually to a non-default namespace, ensure that the Dev Workspace Operator is also installed in the same namespace. This is required as the Operator Lifecycle Manager will attempt to install the Dev Workspace Operator as a dependency within the Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces Operator namespace, potentially resulting in two conflicting installations of the Dev Workspace Operator if the latter is installed in a different namespace. Caution If you want to onboard Web Terminal Operator on the cluster make sure to use the same installation namespace as Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces Operator since both depend on Dev Workspace Operator. Web Terminal Operator, Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces Operator, and Dev Workspace Operator must be installed in the same namespace. Create the openshift-devspaces project in OpenShift as follows: Go to Operators Installed Operators Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces instance Specification Create CheCluster YAML view . In the YAML view , replace namespace: openshift-operators with namespace: openshift-devspaces . Select Create . Tip See Creating applications from installed Operators . Verification In Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces instance Specification , go to devspaces , landing on the Details tab. Under Message , check that there is None , which means no errors. Under Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces URL , wait until the URL of the OpenShift Dev Spaces instance appears, and then open the URL to check the OpenShift Dev Spaces dashboard. In the Resources tab, view the resources for the OpenShift Dev Spaces deployment and their status. 2.1.4. Installing Dev Spaces in a restricted environment On an OpenShift cluster operating in a restricted network, public resources are not available. However, deploying OpenShift Dev Spaces and running workspaces requires the following public resources: Operator catalog Container images Sample projects To make these resources available, you can replace them with their copy in a registry accessible by the OpenShift cluster. Prerequisites The OpenShift cluster has at least 64 GB of disk space. The OpenShift cluster is ready to operate on a restricted network, and the OpenShift control plane has access to the public internet. See About disconnected installation mirroring and Using Operator Lifecycle Manager on restricted networks . An active oc session with administrative permissions to the OpenShift cluster. See Getting started with the OpenShift CLI . An active oc registry session to the registry.redhat.io Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog. See: Red Hat Container Registry authentication . opm . See Installing the opm CLI . jq . See Downloading jq . podman . See Podman Installation Instructions . skopeo version 1.6 or higher. See Installing Skopeo . An active skopeo session with administrative access to the private Docker registry. Authenticating to a registry , and Mirroring images for a disconnected installation . dsc for OpenShift Dev Spaces version 3.14. See Section 1.2, "Installing the dsc management tool" . Procedure Download and execute the mirroring script to install a custom Operator catalog and mirror the related images: prepare-restricted-environment.sh . 1 The private Docker registry where the images will be mirrored Install OpenShift Dev Spaces with the configuration set in the che-operator-cr-patch.yaml during the step: Allow incoming traffic from the OpenShift Dev Spaces namespace to all Pods in the user projects. See: Section 3.7.1, "Configuring network policies" . Additional resources Red Hat-provided Operator catalogs Managing custom catalogs 2.1.4.1. Setting up an Ansible sample Follow these steps to use an Ansible sample in restricted environments. Prerequisites Microsoft Visual Studio Code - Open Source IDE A 64-bit x86 system. Procedure Mirror the following images: Configure the cluster proxy to allow access to the following domains: Note Support for the following IDE and CPU architectures is planned for a future release: IDE JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition IDE ( Technology Preview ) CPU architectures IBM Power (ppc64le) IBM Z (s390x) 2.2. Finding the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) You can get the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your organization's instance of OpenShift Dev Spaces on the command line or in the OpenShift web console. Tip You can find the FQDN for your organization's OpenShift Dev Spaces instance in the Administrator view of the OpenShift web console as follows. Go to Operators Installed Operators Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces instance Specification devspaces Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces URL . Prerequisites An active oc session with administrative permissions to the OpenShift cluster. See Getting started with the OpenShift CLI . Procedure Run the following command: oc get checluster devspaces -n openshift-devspaces -o jsonpath='{.status.cheURL}'
