Eclipse Che on OpenShift

How to build openshift-connector branch

Build prerequisites

Install Che development prerequisites
Clone the official che git repository and checkout the openshift-connector branch:

git clone https://github.com/eclipse/che
cd che
git checkout openshift-connector

Set some environment variables (or run . ./scripts/setenv-for-build.sh)

export CHE_IMAGE_REPO=rhche/che-server
export CHE_IMAGE_TAG=nightly
export GITHUB_REPO="/Users/mariolet/Github/che"
eval $(minishift docker-env)

CHE_IMAGE_REPO and CHE_IMAGE_TAG are the Docker image name and tag which will be built.
GITHUB_REPO points to the local directory where the official Che repo was checked out

Build Che

In the rh-che repository, build Che by executing the following script:

scripts/build.sh

How to run Che on OpenShift

Runtime prerequisites

Get minishift (we have tested with v1.0.0beta4)
- Minishift v1.0.0beta4 includes the oc binary, and this should be added to your $PATH. The binary is located in the .minishift/cache/oc/<oc version>/ directory (e.g. on Linux, it is in ~/.minishift/cache/oc/v1.4.1/).
Get gofabric8 (we have tested with v0.4.121)
Clone fabric8-online git repository:

git clone https://github.com/fabric8io/fabric8-online.git

Set some environment variables (or run . ./scripts/setenv-for-deploy.sh)

export OPENSHIFT_USERNAME="developer"
export OPENSHIFT_PASSWORD="developer"
export CHE_OPENSHIFT_PROJECT="eclipse-che"
export CHE_HOSTNAME="che.$(minishift ip).nip.io"
export CHE_LOG_LEVEL="INFO"
export CHE_DEBUGGING_ENABLED="false"
export FABRIC8_ONLINE_PATH="/home/user/github/fabric8-online/"

OPENSHIFT_USERNAME and OPENSHIFT_PASSWORD are used to configure which Openshift account will be used
CHE_OPENSHIFT_PROJECT is the name of the project in Openshift in which Che will be deployed
CHE_HOSTNAME will be the hostname from which Che will be accessible after deployment
CHE_LOG_LEVEL is the logging level (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR etc)
CHE_DEBUGGING_ENABLED set this to "true" to allow remote Java debugging of the Che server
FABRIC8_ONLINE_PATH is the full path to the fabric8-online binary

Deploy Che and all needed resources (configmaps, service account, pvc, pv, services, routes)

scripts/create-all.sh

Che rolling update (helpful if you need to deploy a new build of Che)

If you wish to redeploy Che after rebuilding (using the build.sh script described above), execute the following command:

oc rollout latest che -n eclipse-che

Delete all resources and clean up

scripts/delete-all.sh
