Adding a devfile at runtime | Eclipse Che Documentation

Procedure

To add a devfile:

Get the name of the Kubernetes pod that hosts the devfile registry container. To do this, filter the app=che-devfile-registry label:
```
$ DEVFILE_REG_POD=$(kubectl get -o custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name \
  --no-headers -l app=che-devfile-registry pod)
```

Create the new devfile directory in the devfile registry container, if it does not exist.

$ STACK="my-stack"
$ kubectl exec $\{DEVFILE_REG_POD} -i -t -- \
  mkdir -p /var/www/html/devfiles/$\{STACK}

Copy the devfile.yaml file and the meta.yaml file to the container.

$ LOCAL_META="$(PWD)/meta.yaml"
$ LOCAL_DEVFILE="$(PWD)/devfile.yaml"
$ kubectl cp "$\{LOCAL_META}" \
  $\{DEVFILE_REG_POD}:/var/www/html/devfiles/$\{STACK}
$ kubectl cp "$\{LOCAL_DEVFILE}" \
  $\{DEVFILE_REG_POD}:/var/www/html/devfiles/$\{STACK}

Update the index.json file of the registry.

$ kubectl exec $\{DEVFILE_REG_POD} -i -t -- \
  /var/www/html/index.sh > /var/www/html/devfiles/index.json
