Custom docker image as workspace

See original GitHub issue

Summary

Hey everyone,

I just deployed a che environment on my microk8s server and it works great with the sample devfiles. Now I want to use my own repo with a custom devfile.

But everytime I try to start the environment I get the following error message: Container tools has state CrashLoopBackOff.

This only happens with the custom devfile.yaml but not with the default one. The problem is, I need a more recent version of Golang, so I need a different file.

This is the devfile.yaml

schemaVersion: 2.1.0
metadata:
  name: kubernetes-image-version-checker
components:
  - name: tools
    container:
      image: quay.io/devfile/golang:latest
      env:
        - name: GOPATH
          value: /projects:/home/user/go
        - name: GOCACHE
          value: /tmp/.cache
      memoryLimit: 2Gi
      mountSources: true
projects:
  - name: kubernetes-image-version-checker
    git:
      remotes:
        origin: "https://gitlab.imanuel.dev/DerKnerd/kubernetes-image-version-checker.git"

The repo is public so feel free to check it yourself.

Hey @amisevsk,

first of all, thank you for the long response. I managed to get it work. I forked the eclipse-che/che-devfile-registry and built my own, Golang 1.19 image based of UBI8. Might not be the best solution but it works.

This is the new devfile.yaml:

schemaVersion: 2.1.0
metadata:
  name: kubernetes-image-version-checker
components:
  - name: tools
    container:
      image: quay.imanuel.dev/base-images/che-golang-1.19:ac70c9d
      env:
        - name: GOPATH
          value: /projects:/home/user/go
        - name: GOCACHE
          value: /tmp/.cache
      memoryLimit: 2Gi
      mountSources: true
projects:
  - name: kubernetes-image-version-checker
    git:
      remotes:
        origin: "https://gitlab.imanuel.dev/DerKnerd/kubernetes-image-version-checker.git"

The image itself is public, so if anyone needs Golang 1.19 in Che, feel free to use it 🙂

@DerKnerd Adding sleep command to the devfile helps:

...
components:
  - container:
      command:
        - sleep
        - infinity
