Chapter 1. Red Hat Developer Hub installation methods on OpenShift Container Platform
You can install Red Hat Developer Hub on OpenShift Container Platform by using one of the following installers:
- The Red Hat Developer Hub Operator
- Ready for immediate use in OpenShift Container Platform after an administrator installs it with OperatorHub
- Uses Operator Lifecycle Management (OLM) to manage automated subscription updates on OpenShift Container Platform
- Requires preinstallation of Operator Lifecycle Management (OLM) to manage automated subscription updates on Kubernetes
- The Red Hat Developer Hub Helm chart
- Ready for immediate use in both OpenShift Container Platform and Kubernetes
- Requires manual installation and management
For guidance on choosing between the Helm chart and Operator based on your operational requirements and team capabilities, see Compare the Helm chart and Operator to choose the optimal deployment method.
You must set the baseUrl in app-config.yaml to match the external URL of your Developer Hub instance, such as https://<my_developer_hub_domain>. This value is required for the Red Hat Developer Hub to function correctly. If it is not set, front-end and back-end services cannot communicate properly, and features might not work as expected.
