Creating your own devfile registry

Prerequisites

You need a Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster (eg., minikube or minishift), into which you have installed Che. Follow the steps in this document to deploy Che.

Steps below can then be done to deploy a custom devfile registry to your cluster, and use it with Che.

Procedure

1
2
git clone https://github.com/eclipse/che-devfile-registry/
cd che-devfile-registry
  • Make changes in the devfiles/ folder to add new or remove existing devfile folders from the registry.
  • Build the image.

This example uses a personal quay repository and an arbitrary tag ubi8-2, but you can use another image registry and path as needed.

1
2
docker build . -f Dockerfile --no-cache \
  -t quay.io/nickboldt/che-devfile-registry:ubi8-2
  • Push it to quay (or your image registry of choice)
1
docker push quay.io/nickboldt/che-devfile-registry:ubi8-2

Verify the image and tag you pushed are published, eg.,
https://quay.io/repository/nickboldt/che-devfile-registry?tab=tags
Verify the Repository Visibility is public, eg.,
https://quay.io/repository/nickboldt/che-devfile-registry?tab=settings

  • Remove any existing che-devfile-registry deployments.
