Customize settings during deployment

Customize the CheCluster Custom Resource during installation so that Che deploys with your organization’s specific settings instead of Operator defaults.

This page is for platform administrators who install, configure, and manage Che on Kubernetes clusters. To learn more about common roles and example tasks referenced in Che documentation, see Common user roles and tasks.

Prerequisites

An active kubectl session with administrative permissions to the Kubernetes cluster. See Overview of kubectl.
chectl. See: Set up the chectl command-line tool.

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

Verify the value of the configured property:

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