Branding

Default branding data for the User Dashboard is located in branding.constant.ts#BRANDING_DEFAULT. It can be overridden without re-building the project in product.json file which should contain only values that should overwrite default ones.

Configurability

Field "header.warning" allows you to display a message at the top of the dashboard. You can use HTML to configure the field but only the '<a>' tag and 'href', 'target' properties are accepted. It's undefined by default.

Example:

{
  "header": {
    "warning": "Server upgrades are happening at 1:00 PM. To learn more visit <a href='foo' target='_blank'>foo</a>"
  }
}

Field "links" allows you to configure links in the masthead, like

  links: [
    {
      text: 'Make a wish',
      href: 'mailto:che-dev@eclipse.org'
    },
    {
      text: 'Documentation',
      href: 'https://www.eclipse.org/che/docs/che-7'
    }
  ]

External Applications Menu (experimental)

The Dashboard has the ability to provide the way to navigate to the OpenShift cluster console via the Applications menu that is shown in the Dashboard masthead. This ability can be tunned by setting the environment variables:

Env var	Description	Default value
OPENSHIFT_CONSOLE_GROUP	The group title where Console link is shown	Applications
OPENSHIFT_CONSOLE_TITLE	The title that is displayed near icon. Set to "" to hide that Console Link at all.	OpenShift Console
OPENSHIFT_CONSOLE_ICON	The icon that is used for the link	${CONSOLE_URL}/static/assets/redhat.png

The following example shows how to provision that env vars with Che Operator:

CHE_NAMESPACE="eclipse-che"
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
kind: ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: che-dashboard-custom-config
  namespace: eclipse-che
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/component: che-dashboard-configmap
    app.kubernetes.io/part-of: che.eclipse.org
  annotations:
    che.eclipse.org/OPENSHIFT_CONSOLE_GROUP_env-name: OPENSHIFT_CONSOLE_GROUP
    che.eclipse.org/OPENSHIFT_CONSOLE_TITLE_env-name: OPENSHIFT_CONSOLE_TITLE
    che.eclipse.org/OPENSHIFT_CONSOLE_ICON_env-name: OPENSHIFT_CONSOLE_ICON
    che.eclipse.org/mount-as: env
data:
  OPENSHIFT_CONSOLE_GROUP: Apps
  OPENSHIFT_CONSOLE_TITLE: OpenShift Container Platform
  OPENSHIFT_CONSOLE_ICON: https://example.com/icon.png
EOF

# Due temporary limitation we need to rollout che operator to apply changes
kubectl rollout restart deployment/che-operator -n $CHE_NAMESPACE

Note: This way to configure dashboard is experimental and may be changed.
