  id: eclipse/che-theia/next            # mandatory
  registryUrl: https://my-registry.com  # optional
  override:                             # optional
    containers:
      - name: theia-ide
        memoryLimit: 1280Mi

Procedure

• Set a reference directive in your che-editor.yaml file. For example:

  reference: https://gist.github.com/.../che-editor.yaml # mandatory
  override:                                              # optional
    containers:
        - name: theia-ide
          memoryLimit: 1280Mi

Procedure

• Set an inline directive in your che-editor.yaml file. For example:

  inline:
    endpoints:
      - name: "theia"
        public: true
        targetPort: 3100
        attributes:

          type: ide
          secure: true
          cookiesAuthEnabled: true
          discoverable: false
      (...)
    containers:
      - name: theia-ide
        image: "quay.io/eclipse/che-theia:next"
        env:
          - name: THEIA_PLUGINS
            value: local-dir:///plugins
        volumeMounts:
          - name: plugins
            path: "/plugins"
          - name: theia-local
            path: "/home/theia/.theia"
        mountSources: true
        ports:
          - exposedPort: 3100
        memoryLimit: "512M"
        cpuLimit: 1000m
        cpuRequest: 100m
    initContainers:
      - name: remote-runtime-injector
        image: "quay.io/eclipse/che-theia-endpoint-runtime-binary:next"
        volumeMounts:
          - name: remote-endpoint
            path: "/remote-endpoint"
            ephemeral: true

            value: /remote-endpoint/plugin-remote-endpoint
          - name: REMOTE_ENDPOINT_VOLUME_NAME
            value: remote-endpoint
