The Developer Workspace¶

VS Code

Prerequisites¶

A running application installation that will provide a deployment as a workspce template.

Workspace Setup¶

Take the sample YAML configuration and modify it:

Look up the deplyoment name of your applicatoin and add it to use CRD as "deplyoment" under spec
Enter your SSH public key, email, name and the desired container image
Save your customized YAML configuration somewhere. Keep it for future reference.
Open the Kubernetes console and add the CRD

Sample YAML to create a developer workspace¶

apiVersion: xrow.com/v2
kind: Developer
metadata:
  name: bjoern-dieding
  namespace: ibexa-test
spec:
  deployment: test-ibexa-frontend
  key: "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIOXGvbBWWfPKoMEU8zKMaKGLocGLVMAq4K24UZMyzjmc"
  email: "bjoern@xrow.de"
  name: "Björn Dieding"
  env:
    - name: APP_ENV
      value: dev
    - name: APP_DEBUG
      value: "1"

Port Forward to your local maschine¶

Just the ssh and the webserver ports are really important.

kubectl config use-context 08.xrow.net
kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=project-test 
kubectl port-forward service/bjoern-dieding 2222:2222 &
kubectl port-forward service/bjoern-dieding 8080:8080 &
kubectl port-forward service/bjoern-dieding 8443:8443 &
kubectl port-forward service/$(kubectl get service | grep solr | awk '{print $1}') 8983:8983 &
kubectl port-forward service/$(kubectl get service | grep mysql | awk '{print $1}') 3306:3306 &

Alternativly you can forward with a tool like kubefwd

Connect to the Pod / development environment via an SSH Agent¶

Linux: Connect via SSH¶

[root@host ~]# ssh root@127.0.0.1 -p 2222 -A
Last login: Tue Feb 18 00:37:33 2020 from 10.128.0.1
Hi Björn Dieding <bjoern@xrow.de>, you can start coding
-bash-4.2$ ssh -T git@gitlab.com
Warning: Permanently added 'gitlab.com,35.231.145.151' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
Welcome to GitLab, @xrow!

Connect via VS CODE¶

Use the vscode kubernetes extension
Select the desired SVC or POD and select forward all

Start to code¶

For best expirience make sure a .git folder is present in the workdir.
Modify any file and commit to git.
Start an addtional dev server if needed. In the example it is a node dev server.

yarn install
$(yarn bin)/encore dev-server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9000 --config-name ibexa --allowed-hosts 192.168.222.2 --public http://192.168.222.2:9000/
