Host editor binaries internally for air-gapped clusters

Host editor binaries internally by configuring custom download URLs for editors in air-gapped OpenShift Dev Spaces environments where editors cannot be retrieved from the public internet. This option applies only to JetBrains editors.

Before you begin

You have an active oc session with administrative permissions to the OpenShift cluster. See This page is not included, but the link has been rewritten to point to the nearest parent document.Getting started with the CLI.
You have jq installed. See Content from stedolan.github.io is not included.Downloading jq.

Procedure

Determine the IDs of the available editors. An editor ID has the following format: publisher/name/version.

oc exec deploy/devspaces-dashboard -n openshift-devspaces  \
    -- curl -s http://localhost:8080/dashboard/api/editors | jq -r '[.[] | "\(.metadata.attributes.publisher)/\(.metadata.name)/\(.metadata.attributes.version)"]'

Configure the download URLs for editors:

oc patch checluster/devspaces \
  --namespace openshift-devspaces \
  --type='merge' \
  -p '{
    "spec": {
      "devEnvironments": {
        "editorsDownloadUrls": [
          { "editor": "publisher1/editor-name1/version1", "url": "https://example.com/editor1.tar.gz" },
          { "editor": "publisher2/editor-name2/version2", "url": "https://example.com/editor2.tar.gz" }
        ]
      }
    }
  }'

where:

editor: The editor ID in the format publisher/name/version. Determine the IDs by running the command in step 1.
url: The URL of the editor archive to download.

Results

Verify that the editor download URLs appear in the CheCluster Custom Resource specification.
