Customize the Open VSX server configuration

Customize the Open VSX server Spring Boot configuration by editing the Operator-managed ConfigMap. The Operator creates this ConfigMap once and does not overwrite subsequent changes, so modifications persist across Operator reconciliation cycles.

Before you begin

An active oc session with administrative permissions to the destination 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.
The managed Open VSX registry is enabled and running.

About this task

Modifying the ConfigMap automatically triggers a rolling restart of the Open VSX server pod.

Procedure

Edit the openvsx-server ConfigMap:

$ oc edit configmap openvsx-server \
  --namespace openshift-devspaces

The ConfigMap contains a single application.yml key with the Open VSX Spring Boot configuration.

Results

Verify that the Open VSX server pod has restarted with the updated configuration:
```
$ oc get pods --namespace openshift-devspaces -l app.kubernetes.io/component=openvsx-server
```
