Chapter 4. Customizing the web console in OpenShift Dedicated


You can customize the OpenShift Dedicated web console to set a custom logo and product name. This is especially helpful if you need to tailor the web console to meet specific corporate or government requirements.

4.1. Adding a custom logo and product name

You can create custom branding by adding a custom logo or custom product name. You can set both or one without the other, as these settings are independent of each other.

Prerequisites

  • You must have administrator privileges.
  • Create a file of the logo that you want to use. The logo can be a file in any common image format, including GIF, JPG, PNG, or SVG, and is constrained to a max-height of 60px. Image size must not exceed 1 MB due to constraints on the ConfigMap object size.

Procedure

  1. Import your logo file into a config map in the openshift-config namespace:

    $ oc create configmap console-custom-logo --from-file /path/to/console-custom-logo.png -n openshift-config
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Tip

    You can alternatively apply the following YAML to create the config map:

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: ConfigMap
    metadata:
      name: console-custom-logo
      namespace: openshift-config
    binaryData:
      console-custom-logo.png: <base64-encoded_logo> ...
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Replace <base64-encoded_logo> with a base64-encoded string of the logo.

  2. Edit the web console’s Operator configuration to include customLogoFile and customProductName:

    $ oc edit consoles.operator.openshift.io cluster
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
    kind: Console
    metadata:
      name: cluster
    spec:
      customization:
        customLogoFile:
          key: console-custom-logo.png
          name: console-custom-logo
        customProductName: My Console
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Once the Operator configuration is updated, it will sync the custom logo config map into the console namespace, mount it to the console pod, and redeploy.

  3. Check for success. If there are any issues, the console cluster Operator will report a Degraded status, and the console Operator configuration will also report a CustomLogoDegraded status, but with reasons such as KeyOrFilenameInvalid or NoImageProvided.

    To check the clusteroperator, run:

    $ oc get clusteroperator console -o yaml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    To check the console Operator configuration, run:

    $ oc get consoles.operator.openshift.io -o yaml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
