Code sever operator

This project used to launch multiple code server instances in k8s cluster. there are three main code server types supported currently.

Spec introduction

Definition of code server spec are describe below

Features

1. Release compute resource if the code server keeps inactive for some time.
2. Release volume resource if the code server has not been used for a period of long time.
3. Git clone code automatically before running code sever.
4. TLS/SSL enabled.
5. x86&arm supported.

Develop

We use kind to boot up the kubernetes cluster, please use the script file to prepare cluster.

./local_development/local_up.sh

export KUBECONFIG:

export KUBECONFIG="$(kind get kubeconfig-path development)"

generate latest CRD yaml file:

make manifests

apply CRD into cluster:

make install

then test locally:

make run
