Development

Node.js, npm and go are required to build and run the plugin. To run OpenShift console in a container, either Docker or podman 3.2.0+ and oc are required.

Running locally

1. Install the dependencies with make install
2. Start the backend with make start-backend
3. In a different terminal, start the frontend with make start-frontend
4. In a different terminal, start the console a. oc login (requires oc and an OpenShift cluster) b. make start-console (requires Docker or podman 3.2.0+)

This will run the OpenShift console in a container connected to the cluster you've logged into. The plugin backend server runs on port 9002 with CORS enabled.

Navigate to http://localhost:9000 to see the running plugin.

Building the image

make build-image

Deployment on cluster

You can deploy the plugin into a cluster by running the helm chart at charts/console-dashboards-plugin. It will use the image from quay.io/gbernal/console-dashboards-plugin:0.0.1 and run a go HTTP server to serve the plugin's assets and proxy to the configured datasources.

helm upgrade -i console-dashboards-plugin charts/console-dashboards-plugin -n console-dashboards --create-namespace
