Devfile Reference

Description

Overview

We use the latest Devfile 2.2.0 reference in odo.

Below are odo-specific examples regarding the Devfile reference. Everything we have listed below is implemented in the current version of odo.

This API Reference uses examples and snippets to help you create your own devfile.yaml file for your project.

For this reference, we use one singular (working) Node.js example which can be ran from your own environment.

How `odo` Creates Resources from Devfile

When odo dev is ran, odo creates the following Kubernetes resources from container (component) and exec (command) sections of the Devfile:

Deployment for running the containers
Service for accessibility

See How odo dev translates a container component into Kubernetes resources for more details.

File Synchronization

We use the "inner-loop" process intensively in order to propagate and see changes immediately so you spend less time deploying, and more time writing code.

Below is the loop that odo uses for file synchronization:

Deployment and Service resources are created (or updated) on the Kubernetes cluster
Files are transfered over to the running container using the Kubernetes API
odo watches for file changes locally and repeats Step 1 and 2.

The "loop" is cancelled once the user inputs Ctrl+C.

Hot Reloading

hotReloadCapable is a special boolean within an exec command that allows you to specify if a command is "hot reloadable".

If set to true, the command won't be restarted as the framework will handle file changes on its own.

Full Example

commands:
  - exec:
      commandLine: yarn dev
      component: runtime
      group:
        isDefault: true
        kind: run
      hotReloadCapable: true
      workingDir: ${PROJECT_SOURCE}
    id: build

What Commands are Executed in Dev or Deploy

Each command has a group kind:

- exec:
    commandLine: npm start
    component: runtime
    group:
      isDefault: true
      kind: run
    workingDir: ${PROJECT_SOURCE}
  id: run

When odo dev is executed, we use: build, run, test and debug.

These commands are typically ran within the container component that has been defined.

The order in which the commands are ran for odo dev are:

The source code is synchronized to the container
build: We build the program from the sources
test: NOT YET IMPLEMENTED
run: The application is ran within the container
debug: This is ran when odo dev --debug is executed

When odo deploy is executed, we use: deploy.

These commands are typically tied to Kubernetes or OpenShift inline resources. They are defined as a component. However, you can use container or image components as well under the deploy group.

The most common deploy scenario is the following:

Use the image component to build a container
Deploy a kubernetes component(s) with a Kubernetes resource defined

How `odo` runs exec commands in Deploy mode

commands:
  - id: deploy-db
    exec:
      commandLine: |
        helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami && \
        helm install my-db bitnami/postgresql
      component: runtime
  - id: deploy
    composite:
      commands:
      - app-image
      - deploy-app
      - deploy-db
      group:
        kind: deploy
        isDefault: true

components:
  - container:
      endpoints:
        - name: http-3000
          targetPort: 3000
      image: quay.io/tkral/devbox-demo-devbox
      memoryLimit: 1024Mi
      mountSources: true
      sourceMapping: /project
    name: runtime

In the example above, exec command is a part of the composite deploy command.

Every exec command must correspond to a container component command.

exec command can be used to execute any command, which makes it possible to use tools such as Helm, Kustomize, etc. in the development workflow with odo, given that the binary is made available by the image of the container component that is referenced by the command.

Commands defined by the exec command are run inside a container started by a Kubernetes Job. Every exec command references a Devfile container component. odo makes use of this container component definition to define the Kubernetes Job.

odo takes into account the complete container definition which includes any endpoints exposed, env variables exported, memoryLimit, cpuLimit, memoryRequest, or cpuRequest imposed, or any source mounting (mountSources) and mapping (sourceMapping) to be done (this feature is yet to be implemented, see #6658); the only thing it overwrites is command and args; which are taken from the exec command's commandLine. Every command uses /bin/sh as an entrypoint.

odo also takes into account the complete command definition which includes setting any env variables, and using the given workingDir; this works similarly to how commands are run in Dev mode.

Kubernetes Job Specification

The naming convention for the Kubernetes Job is <component-name>-app-<command-id>; the maximum character limit for a resource name allowed by Kubernetes is 63, but since this resource is created by odo, we do not want the character limit to be any issue to the user, and so we use a max character limit of 60.
If the Kubernetes Job fails to run the command the first time, it will retry one more time before giving up (BackOffLimit).
If the Kubernetes Job succeeds, but odo is unable to delete it for some reason, it will be automatically deleted after 60 seconds (TTLSecondsAfterFinished).
The Kubernetes Job is created with appropriate annotations and labels so that it can be deleted by odo delete component --name <name> command if the need be.
If the Kubernetes Job fails, a new pod is created to re-run the job instead of re-running it inside the same pod's container, this ensures that we can fetch the logs when needed.

How `odo` determines components that are applied automatically

When running odo dev or odo deploy, odo determines components that need to be applied automatically by looking at several things:

whether the component is referenced by any apply commands;
and looking at dedicated fields that allow to explicitly control this behavior:
- autoBuild on Image components
- deployByDefault on Kubernetes or OpenShift components

`autoBuild` for Image Components

An Image component is applied automatically if any of the following conditions are met:

autoBuild is true
autoBuild is not set, and this Image component is not referenced in any apply commands

If the Image component is referenced by an apply command, it will be applied when this command is invoked.

For example, given the following excerpt:

variables:
  CONTAINER_IMAGE_REPO: localhost:5000/odo-dev/node

components:
  # autoBuild set to true => automatically created on startup
  - image:
      autoBuild: true
      dockerfile:
        buildContext: .
        uri: Dockerfile
      imageName: "{{ CONTAINER_IMAGE_REPO }}:autobuild-true"
    name: "autobuild-true"

  # autoBuild set to false, referenced in apply command => created when apply command is invoked
  - image:
      autoBuild: false
      dockerfile:
        buildContext: .
        uri: Dockerfile
      imageName: "{{ CONTAINER_IMAGE_REPO }}:autobuild-false-and-referenced"
    name: "autobuild-false-and-referenced"
    
  # autoBuild not set, not referenced in apply command => automatically created on startup
  - image:
      dockerfile:
        buildContext: .
        uri: Dockerfile
      imageName: "{{ CONTAINER_IMAGE_REPO }}:autobuild-not-set-and-not-referenced"
    name: "autobuild-not-set-and-not-referenced"
    
  # autoBuild set to false, not referenced in apply command => never created
  - image:
      autoBuild: false
      dockerfile:
        buildContext: .
        uri: Dockerfile
      imageName: "{{ CONTAINER_IMAGE_REPO }}:autobuild-false-and-not-referenced"
    name: "autobuild-false-and-not-referenced"

  - container:
      image: "{{ CONTAINER_IMAGE_REPO }}:autobuild-not-set-and-not-referenced"
    name: runtime
commands:
  - apply:
      component: autobuild-false-and-referenced
    id: image-autobuild-false-and-referenced
 
  - composite:
      commands:
        - image-autobuild-false-and-referenced
        - start-app
      group:
        isDefault: true
        kind: run
    id: run

  - composite:
      commands:
        - image-autobuild-false-and-referenced
        - deploy-k8s
      group:
        isDefault: true
        kind: deploy
    id: deploy

When running odo, the following Image components will be applied automatically, before applying any other components and invoking any commands:

autobuild-true because it has autoBuild set to true.
autobuild-not-set-and-not-referenced because it doesn't set autoBuild and is not referenced by any apply commands.

Because the image component autobuild-false-and-referenced is referenced by the apply command image-autobuild-false-and-referenced, it will be applied when this command is invoked, that is, in this example, when the run or deploy commands are invoked.

Because the image component autobuild-false-and-not-referenced has autoBuild set to false and is not referenced by any apply commands, it will never be applied.

`deployByDefault` for Kubernetes/OpenShift Components

A Kubernetes or OpenShift component is applied automatically if any of the following conditions are met:

deployByDefault is true
deployByDefault is not set, and this component is not referenced in any apply commands

If the component is referenced by an apply command, it will be applied when this command is invoked.

For example, given the following excerpt (simplified to use only Kubernetes components, but the same behavior applies to OpenShift ones):

variables:
  CONTAINER_IMAGE_REPO: localhost:5000/odo-dev/node

components:
  # deployByDefault set to true => automatically created on startup
  - kubernetes:
      deployByDefault: true
      inlined: |
        [...]
    name: "k8s-deploybydefault-true"

  # deployByDefault set to false, referenced in apply command => created when apply command is invoked
  - kubernetes:
      deployByDefault: false
      inlined: |
        [...]
    name: "k8s-deploybydefault-false-and-referenced"
    
  # deployByDefault not set, not referenced in apply command => automatically created on startup
  - kubernetes:
      inlined: |
        [...]
    name: "k8s-deploybydefault-not-set-and-not-referenced"

  # deployByDefault set to false, not referenced in apply command => never created
  - kubernetes:
      deployByDefault: false
      inlined: |
        [...]
    name: "k8s-deploybydefault-false-and-not-referenced"

  - container:
      image: "{{ CONTAINER_IMAGE_REPO }}:autobuild-not-set-and-not-referenced"
    name: runtime
commands:
  - apply:
      component: k8s-deploybydefault-false-and-referenced
    id: apply-k8s-deploybydefault-false-and-referenced
 
  - composite:
      commands:
        - apply-k8s-deploybydefault-false-and-referenced
        - start-app
      group:
        isDefault: true
        kind: run
    id: run

  - composite:
      commands:
        - apply-k8s-deploybydefault-false-and-referenced
        - deploy-k8s
      group:
        isDefault: true
        kind: deploy
    id: deploy

When running odo, the following Kubernetes components will be applied automatically, before applying any other components and invoking any commands:

k8s-deploybydefault-true because it has deployByDefault set to true.
k8s-deploybydefault-not-set-and-not-referenced because it doesn't set deployByDefault and is not referenced by any apply commands.

Because the kubernetes component k8s-deploybydefault-false-and-referenced is referenced by the apply command apply-k8s-deploybydefault-false-and-referenced, it will be applied when this command is invoked, that is, in this example, when the run or deploy commands are invoked.

Because the kubernetes component k8s-deploybydefault-false-and-not-referenced has deployByDefault set to false and is not referenced by any apply commands, it will never be applied.

File Reference

This file reference outlines the major components of the Devfile API Reference using snippets and examples.

We use practical approach outlining the details of Devfile. The example is a modified version from registry/nodejs on GitHub for demonstration purposes.

In this example, we are deploying a full Node.js application that is available through both odo dev and odo deploy.

For a more in-depth detailed outline of Devfile, please refer to the official Devfile 2.2.0 reference.

NOTE: Some portions of the Devfile examples are commented out to show what is available but it does not apply to the practical example.

Special Variables

There are two special variables available to use in devfile.yaml:

$PROJECTS_ROOT: A path where projects sources are mounted as defined by container component's sourceMapping.
$PROJECT_SOURCE: A path to a project source ($PROJECTS_ROOT/). If there are multiple projects, this will point to the directory of the first one.

These are helpful when defining or using multiple sources during development or deployment.

`schemaVersion`

type: string | required

Devfile schema version. This outlines what version of the schema odo will use and validate against.

Full Example

schemaVersion: 2.2.0

`metadata`

type: object | required

The metadata of the Devfile describes what the following Devfile is about. Information displayed here is helpful to figure out what the project does.

Full Example

We are describing a simple Node.js app. This information is displayed when running odo registry.

metadata:
  description: Stack with Node.js 14
  name: my-nodejs-app
  displayName: Node.js Runtime
  icon: https://nodejs.org/static/images/logos/nodejs-new-pantone-black.svg
  language: javascript
  projectType: nodejs
  tags:
  - NodeJS
  - Express
  - ubi8
  version: 1.0.1

`starterProjects`

type: object | optional

StarterProjects is a project that can be used as a starting point when bootstrapping new projects.

When running odo init, odo looks at the starterProjects object to see if there are any available to initially generate.

We support using both git and zip file formats.

Full Example

We will use the starter project from odo-devfiles/nodejs-ex on GitHub.

starterProjects:
- git:
    remotes:
      origin: https://github.com/odo-devfiles/nodejs-ex.git
    # You can also checkout from a specific remote as well as revision / tag
    # checkoutFrom:
    #  remote: subproject
    #  revision: 1.1.0Final
    
    # As well as a subdirectory
    # subDir: demo
  name: nodejs-starter

# Alternatively, you can also provide a zipfile location
- zip:
    location: https://github.com/odo-devfiles/nodejs-ex/archive/refs/tags/0.0.2.zip
  name: nodejs-zip-starter

`variables`

type: object | optional

Map of key-value variables used for string replacement in the Devfile.

This is important so that you can easily replace variables and make Devfile more portable between different environments.

Full Example

NOTE: For the below example to run correctly, change the CONTAINER_IMAGE to an accessible container registry.

variables:
  CONTAINER_IMAGE: quay.io/MYUSERNAME/nodejs-odo-example
  RESOURCE_NAME: my-nodejs-app
  CONTAINER_PORT: "3000"
  DOMAIN_NAME: nodejs.example.com

`commands`

type: object | required

Predefined, ready-to-use, devworkspace-related commands

Each command is categorized into five groups: build, run, test, debug and deploy.

For odo dev, we use: build, run, test and debug.

For odo deploy, we use: deploy.

For each command categorized, there are three different "properties" you can use, either: exec, apply or composite:

exec: A CLI command is executed inside an existing component container
apply: A command that consists of "applying" a component definition. Typically Kubernetes inline code.
composite: A composite command that allows executing several sub-commands either sequentially or concurrently

Each command is ran at different points of odo's execution and is further explained here.

Full Example using `odo dev` capabilities

In the below example, we showcase what commands we would run for odo dev:

# We will go into detail on the "build" part
# 
# All of these commands are ran in a *container* and at different stages
# of `odo dev`
commands:
- exec:
    # The command you want to run
    commandLine: npm install

    # Which component we are using to run the above command
    # The component contains the container image we are using
    component: runtime

    # What group we are running this in, in our case it's "build"
    group:

      # Identifies the default command for a given group kind as there can be multiple
      # exec's for one kind
      isDefault: true
      # Executes in the "build" stage of dev
      kind: build

    # The working directory being used (see "Special Variables")
    workingDir: ${PROJECT_SOURCE}

  # The to refer to
  id: install

# Executes in the "run" stage of dev
- exec:
    commandLine: npm start
    component: runtime
    group:
      isDefault: true
      kind: run
    workingDir: ${PROJECT_SOURCE}
  id: run

# Executes in the "debug" stage of dev
- exec:
    commandLine: npm run debug
    component: runtime
    group:
      isDefault: true
      kind: debug
    workingDir: ${PROJECT_SOURCE}
  id: debug

# Executes in the "test" stage of dev
- exec:
    commandLine: npm test
    component: runtime
    group:
      isDefault: true
      kind: test
    workingDir: ${PROJECT_SOURCE}
  id: test

Full Example using `odo deploy` capabilities

In the below example, we showcase what commands we would run for odo deploy:

# This is the main "composite" command that will run all below commands
commands:
- id: deploy
  composite:
    # In this composite, we will run the following commands:
    commands:
    - build-image
    - k8s-deployment
    - k8s-service
    - k8s-ingress
    
    # This is part of the deploy group and will be executed when running `odo deploy`
    group:
      isDefault: true
      kind: deploy

# In order to run all the commands under composite, we must also define each command:
# Below are the commands and their respective components that they are "linked" to deploy
- id: build-image
  # In this case, we will apply the following outerloop-build component 
  apply:
    component: outerloop-build

- id: k8s-deployment
  apply:
    component: outerloop-deployment
- id: k8s-service
  apply:
    component: outerloop-service
- id: k8s-ingress
  apply:
    component: outerloop-ingress

`components`

type: object | required

List of the devworkspace components, such as editor and plugins, user-provided containers, or other types of components.

Each component can be as simple as container to a full Kubernetes inline object.

There are four different kinds of components:

container: Allows adding and configuring devworkspace-related containers
image: Allows specifying the definition of an image for outer loop builds
kubernetes: Allows importing into the devworkspace the Kubernetes resources defined in a given manifest
openshift: Allows importing into the devworkspace the OpenShift resources defined in a given manifest

Full Example using `odo dev` capabilities

In the below example, we utilize one container component for all odo dev commands (build, run, test and debug):

components:
- container:
    # A list of all endpoints to be used.
    endpoints:
    - name: http-3000
      targetPort: 3000

    # The container image
    image: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/nodejs-14:latest

    # Arguments to be passed into the container by default
    # args: "foo", "bar"

    # The default command to be ran
    # command: "foo", "bar"

    # Environment variables to be passed into the container
    # env:
    #  HELLO: WORLD

    # Limits that can be set
    memoryLimit: 1024Mi
    # memoryRequest: 2048Mi
    # cpuRequest: 250m
    # cpuLimit: 500m

    # Specify if a container should run in its own separated pod, instead of running as part of the main development environment pod.
    # By default, this is set to false
    dedicatedPod: false

    # Annotations can also be passed in too to the Deployment and Service created by this container
    # annotation:
    #   service:
    #     FOO: BAR
    #   deployment:
    #     FOO: BAR

    # You can also mount for persistent storage. In our case, we'll create "myvol" which mounts to /data
    # Creating a mount, you will also need to create a "myvol" volume component
    # volumeMounts:
    #  - name: myvol
    #    path: /data

    # Toggles whether or not the project source code should be mounted in the component
    # By default, this is set to true
    mountSources: true

    # Optional specification of the path in the container where project sources should be transferred/mounted when mountSources is true. When omitted, the default value of /projects is used.
    # sourceMapping: /projects

  # The name of the component
  name: runtime

# In our commented example, if we were to use a volume, we would add the following to our component list:
# - name: myvol
#   volume:
#     size: 3Gi

Full Example using `odo deploy` capabilities

In the below example, we implement a image component as well as multiple Kubernetes inline resources for our odo deploy scenario:

components:
# This will build AND push the container image locally before deployment
- name: outerloop-build
  image:

    # Here we provide the Dockerfile that we are going to be using
    dockerfile:

      # Where the Dockerfile will be built
      buildContext: ${PROJECT_SOURCE}

      # If root is going to be required or not
      rootRequired: false

      # Now we point to where the Dockerfile is located
      # Here we can either provide: URI, Git or a Devfile Registry
      uri: ./Dockerfile

    # Provide the image name to be used, in our case, we use the image name from `variables:`
    imageName: "{{CONTAINER_IMAGE}}"
    
    # For auto build, you can define if an image should be built during startup
    # autoBuild: false

# This will create a Deployment in order to run your container image across
# the cluster. We provide raw Kubernetes yaml inlined into our devfile.yaml
- name: outerloop-deployment
  kubernetes:

    # Below we provide the inline code for our Deployment
