[Multiuser] Instructions to run without CLI

In the docs, instructions are provided to run Multi-user Che with the CLI.

We use a orchestrator (Rancher) to deploy our servers so we need to replicate how CHE_MULTIUSER=true works manually (i.e. by launching che-server-multiuser, etc).

Could someone update the docs or provide a link here to follow?

After a bit of a push and shove, I’ve been able to get this to work in Rancher/Compose 👍 This is roughly what our compose definition now looks like:

version: '2'
services:
  keycloak:
    image: jboss/keycloak:3.3.0.CR2-3
    volumes:
    - /host/path/to/che/theme:/opt/jboss/keycloak/themes/che
    links:
    - postgres:postgres
    ports:
    - 5050:8080/tcp=
  che-server:
    image: eclipse/che-server-multiuser:5.19.0
    environment:
      CHE_PORT: '80'
      CHE_DOCKER_IP_EXTERNAL: our.che.host
      CHE_DOCKER_SERVER__EVALUATION__STRATEGY: docker-local
      CHE_HOST: our.che.host
      CHE_WORKSPACE_VOLUME: /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      CHE_MULTIUSER: 'true'
    volumes:
    - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    links:
    - postgres:postgres
  postgres:
    image: postgres:9.6-alpine
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: keycloak
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password
    volumes:
    - /host/path/to/postgres/data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

Anyone who takes this route will have to create their own che and keycloak databases and keycloak realm (I just imported the erb template into keycloak). We also mount the Che keycloak theme as a manual process.

We’re switching to the new helm charts/Che 7 which we’ve got working on Rancher so am closing this.
