Chapter 2. New features and enhancements

With this update, ImagePullPolicy for DevWorkspace containers can be now set using the dedicated CheCluster CR field.

apiVersion: org.eclipse.che/v2
kind: CheCluster
spec:
  devEnvironments:
    imagePullPolicy: <Always|IfNotPresent>

With this update, kubedock is now a part of the UDI (OpenShift Dev Spaces default image). If the environment variable KUBEDOCK_ENABLED is set to true in a workspace (this can be done using a devfile), the kubedock server is started at startup.

When KUBEDOCK_ENABLED=true then the following commands will be executed with kubedock. The remaining commands, in particular, podman build, will be executed by the local Podman:

With this update, the following CheCluster CR fields are available: * spec.devEnvironments.security * spec.devEnvironments.security.containerSecurityContext * spec.devEnvironments.security.podSecurityContext

Use the spec.devEnvironments.security.containerSecurityContext and spec.devEnvironments.security.podSecurityContext`fields to configure the pod and security contexts used by workspaces by setting the corresponding `DevWorkspaceOperatorConfiguration fields.

With this release, you can configure the 'Getting Started' samples on the User Dashboard by using a dedicated ConfigMap object:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: getting-started-sample
  namespace: openshift-devspaces
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/part-of: che.eclipse.org
    app.kubernetes.io/component: getting-started-samples
data:
  my-samples: |-
    [
      {
        "displayName": "Eclipse Che Dashboard",
        "description": "Cloud Development Environment for the Eclipse Che Dashboard.",
        "tags": ["Eclipse Che", "Dashboard"],
        "url": "https://github.com/eclipse-che/che-dashboard"
      }
    ]

Now you can navigate from the Workspace Details DevWorkspace view on the User Dashboard to the OpenShift Console to inspect or edit the DevWorkspace object.

With this update, you can change the OpenShift Dev Spaces logo using the dedicated CheCluster Custom Resource property:

apiVersion: org.eclipse.che/v2
kind: CheCluster
spec:
  components:
    dashboard:
      branding
        logo:
          base64data: <base64-encoded-data>
          mediatype: image/png
