Deploy using the CLI

Deploy OpenShift Dev Spaces from the command line using the dsc management tool so that you have full control over configuration options and can automate the installation.

Before you begin

Procedure

  1. Optional: If you previously deployed OpenShift Dev Spaces on this OpenShift cluster, remove the previous OpenShift Dev Spaces instance: 
    $ dsc server:delete
  2. Create the OpenShift Dev Spaces instance: 
    $ dsc server:deploy --platform openshift

Results

  1. Verify the OpenShift Dev Spaces instance status: 
    $ dsc server:status
  2. Navigate to the OpenShift Dev Spaces cluster instance: 
    $ dsc dashboard:open
Note

On ARM64 (AArch64) OpenShift clusters, you must override the gateway sidecar images after installing the Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces Operator, because the default images are not available for ARM64.

To patch the Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces Operator subscription, run the following commands:

SUBSCRIPTION=$(oc get subscription -A \
  -o jsonpath='{.items[?(@.spec.name=="devspaces")]}')

SUBSCRIPTION_NAME=$(echo "$SUBSCRIPTION" | jq -r '.metadata.name')

SUBSCRIPTION_NAMESPACE=$(echo "$SUBSCRIPTION" | jq -r '.metadata.namespace')

oc patch subscription "$SUBSCRIPTION_NAME" \
  -n "$SUBSCRIPTION_NAMESPACE" \
  --type=merge \
  -p '{
