Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform

Customize a developer catalog or its sub-catalogs using the YAML view

You can customize a developer catalog by editing the YAML content in the YAML view.

Prerequisites

An OpenShift web console session with cluster administrator privileges.

Procedure

In the Administrator perspective of the web console, navigate to Administration → Cluster Settings.
Select the Configuration tab, click the Console (operator.openshift.io) resource and view the Details page.

Click the YAML tab to open the editor and edit the YAML content as needed.

For example, to disable a developer catalog type, insert the following snippet that defines a list of disabled developer catalog resources:

apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
kind: Console
metadata:
  name: cluster
...
spec:
  customization:
    developerCatalog:
      categories:
      types:
        state: Disabled
        disabled:
          - BuilderImage
          - Devfile
          - HelmChart
...

Click Save.

By default, the developer catalog types are enabled in the Administrator view of the Web Console.

Example YAML file changes

You can customize a developer catalog by dynamically editing YAML content in the YAML editor.

Use the following snippet to display all the sub-catalogs by setting the state type to Enabled.

apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
kind: Console
metadata:
  name: cluster
...
spec:
  customization:
    developerCatalog:
      categories:
      types:
        state: Enabled

Use the following snippet to disable all sub-catalogs by setting the state type to Disabled:

apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
kind: Console
metadata:
  name: cluster
...
spec:
  customization:
    developerCatalog:
      categories:
      types:
        state: Disabled

Use the following snippet when a cluster administrator defines a list of sub-catalogs, which are enabled in the Web Console.

apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
kind: Console
metadata:
  name: cluster
...
spec:
  customization:
    developerCatalog:
      categories:
      types:
        state: Enabled
        enabled:
          - BuilderImage
          - Devfile
          - HelmChart
          - ...
