Deploying Che 7 to Minishift with chectl

Prerequisites

You need the latest  Minishift and chectl releases.

Fetch them like this (or similar):

cd ~/bin
curl -sSL  https://github.com/che-incubator/chectl/releases/download/20190628062929/chectl-linux -o chectl
chmod +x chectl
cd /tmp
curl -sSL https://github.com/minishift/minishift/releases/download/v1.34.0/minishift-1.34.0-linux-amd64.tgz -o minishift.tgz
tar xvzf minishift.tgz
mv minishift*/minishift ~/bin/
chmod +x ~/bin/minishift

Procedure

  • Start up minishift.

minishift

  • Log in once startup is complete.

oc login 192.168.MY.IP:8433 -u system -p admin

  • To watch the events and see which images are pulled, see this document.
  • Deploy Che to minishift:

chectl server:start -a minishift-addon -p minishift

  • Fix the plugin registry URL to use the latest version:

oc set env dc/che CHE_WORKSPACE_PLUGIN__REGISTRY__URL=https://che-plugin-registry.openshift.io/v3

Y ou can open the console for the che deployment to verify your change has been applied:
https://192.168.YOUR.IP:8443/console/project/che/edit/dc/che
You should see:
CHE_WORKSPACE_PLUGIN__REGISTRY__URL = https://che-plugin-registry.openshift.io/v3

  • Wait for redeployment to complete.
  • Once running, you can see your Che instance here:
    • http://che-che.192.168.YOUR.IP.nip.io/
  • If you then add a new workspace, you can see even more images pulled in the openshift event log.
