Chapter 13. Customizing the RHDH Metadata card on the Settings page

The Settings page in Red Hat Developer Hub contains a RHDH Metadata card. By default, the RHDH Metadata card shows the RHDH Version and Backstage Version of your Red Hat Developer Hub instance. When you click the Show more icon, the card expands to also show Upstream, Midstream, and Build Time information.

You can override the default to show custom build information about your Red Hat Developer Hub instance in the card. You can customize the card title as well as the card contents.

Procedure

To customize the RHDH Metadata card, complete the following step:

  • In your app-config.yaml file, configure the buildinfo field. For example: 

    buildInfo:
  title: _<metadata_card_title>_
  card:
    TechDocs builder: '_<techdocs_builder>_'
    Authentication provider: '_<authentication_provider>_'
    RBAC: disabled
  full: true

    where

    <metadata_card_title>
    Specifies the title that you want to display on the customized card.
    <techdocs_builder>
    Specifies whether to generate and publish the docs or to only fetch the docs when using the default build strategy. Possible values are local or external. If you want to generate and publish the docs, set the techdocs.builder field to local in your app-config.yaml file. If you only want to fetch the docs without generating and publishing them, set the techdocs.builder field to external.
    <authentication_provider>
    Specifies the authentication provider that you want to use. Example values are GitHub or GitLab.
    full
    Specifies what information is shown on the customized card. Possible values are true or false. If set to true, only the information specified in this configuration is shown on the card. If set to false, the specified information is shown on the card along with the build versions. The default value is true.

Result

The Settings page displays a card with a custom title and custom build information about your Red Hat Developer Hub instance.
