Creating a workspace from a template devfile
You can create a new workspace by using one of the devfile templates included in Che.
For information about devfiles, see Authoring a devfile 2.
Prerequisites
-
A running instance of Che. See Installing Che.
Procedure
-
Go to the Dashboard of Che.
-
In the left navigation panel, click Create Workspace.
-
Go to the Custom Workspace tab.
-
Enter a workspace name.
If you do not enter a Workspace Name for your workspace, Che generates a unique name for a new workspace from the devfile’s
metadata.generateName
property followed by four random characters. -
Select a devfile template from the drop-down list.
-
Click Create & Open.
-
Wait for the initialized workspace to start and for the IDE to open.
