Using chectl to configure the CheCluster Custom Resource during installation

To deploy Che with a suitable configuration, edit the CheCluster Custom Resource YAML file during the installation of Che. Otherwise, the Che deployment uses the default configuration parameterized by the Operator.

Prerequisites
Procedure

  • Create a che-operator-cr-patch.yaml YAML file that contains the subset of the CheCluster Custom Resource to configure:

    spec:
  <component>:
      <property_to_configure>: <value>

  • Deploy Che and apply the changes described in che-operator-cr-patch.yaml file:

    $ chectl server:deploy \
--che-operator-cr-patch-yaml=che-operator-cr-patch.yaml \
--platform <chosen_platform>
Verification

  1. Verify the value of the configured property:

    $ oc get configmap che -o jsonpath='{.data.<configured_property>}' \
-n eclipse-che
