About Eclipse Che

Eclipse Che is a next generation Eclipse IDE. This repository is licensed under the Eclipse Public License 2.0. Visit Eclipse Che's Web site for feature information or the main Che assembly repository for a description of all participating repositories.

Eclipse Che Dashboard

Requirements

  • Node.js v14 and later.
  • yarn v1.20.0 or higher.

Note: Below you can find installation instructions

Quick start

docker build . -f build/dockerfiles/Dockerfile -t quay.io/eclipse/che-dashboard:next

Running locally against remote Che Cluster (Node.js v.16)

To run Dashboard against Che Cluster you need access to Kubernetes cluster where it lives. So, make sure kubeconfig from $KUBECONFIG (or if unset ~/.kube/config) has the target cluster as current. If no - you may need to do oc login (if it's OpenShift) or modify it manually if it's Kubernetes. Then you can proceed to the following steps:

# 1. Install all dependencies:
yarn
# 2. Patch cluster to enable local development flow:
yarn start:prepare
# 3. Run server locally:
yarn start
# 4. (optional) Patch cluster to revert it to initial state:
yarn start:cleanup
# If you want to make sure the latest bits are used, add flag to recompile
# yarn start --force-build
# Optionally you may need to set CHE_NAMESPACE where CheCluster CR live
# which is eclipse-che by default
# export CHE_NAMESPACE="my-custom-che"

The development server serves the dashboard-frontend and dashboard-backend on http://localhost:8080.

  • Native Auth: With Native Auth, routes are secured with OpenShift OAuth which we can't deal with easily. So, instead when you do yarn start we bypass OpenShift OAuth proxy while requesting Che Server by doing kubectl port-forward. So, no additional configuration is needed but note that your Dashboard will be authentication with the user from the current KUBECONFIG.

Incremental builds

You may would like to watch changes and recompile them incrementally:

yarn --cwd packages/dashboard-backend build:watch
yarn --cwd packages/dashboard-frontend build:watch

As an alternative to build:watch for frontend, you can run Dev Server.

Local backend is prerequisite for Dev Server and then the command to run Dev Server is

yarn frontend:start

To avoid memory issues and the process being killed, more memory is possible through the following command in the frontend package directory:

NODE_OPTIONS="--max_old_space_size=6500" && yarn frontend:start

Dependencies IP

To make sure all the dependencies satisfy Eclipse Intellectual Property, this repo uses https://github.com/che-incubator/dash-licenses which is a wrapper for https://github.com/eclipse/dash-licenses.

So, check .deps/prod.md for dependencies we package and .deps/dev.md for ones we use at build time only.

To generate dependencies info:

yarn license:generate

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.
