OpenShift Console Plugin Template

This project is a minimal template for writing a new OpenShift Console dynamic plugin. It requires OpenShift 4.10.

Dynamic plugins allow you to extend the OpenShift UI at runtime, adding custom pages and other extensions. It is based on webpack module federation. Plugins are registered with console using the ConsolePlugin custom resource and enabled in the console operator config by a cluster administrator.

Node.js and yarn are required to build and run the example.

Getting started

After cloning this repo, you should update the plugin metadata such as the plugin name in the consolePlugin declaration of package.json.

"consolePlugin": {
  "name": "my-plugin",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "displayName": "My Plugin",
  "description": "Enjoy this siny, new console plugin!",
  "exposedModules": {
    "ExamplePage": "./components/ExamplePage"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@console/pluginAPI": "*"
  }
}

The template adds a single example page in the Home navigation section. The extension is declared in the console-extensions.json file and the React component is declared in src/components/ExamplePage.tsx.

You can run the plugin using a local development environment or build an image to deploy it to a cluster.

Local development

  1. yarn install
  2. yarn run start

The server runs on port 9001 with CORS enabled.

See the plugin development section in Console Dynamic Plugins README for details on how to run OpenShift console using local plugins.

When a local console server is running, visit http://localhost:9000/example to see the example plugin page.

Docker image

Before you can deploy your plugin on a cluster, you must build an image and push it to an image registry.

  1. Build the image:

    docker build -t quay.io/my-repositroy/my-plugin:latest .
    
  2. Run the image:

    docker run -it --rm -d -p 9001:80 quay.io/my-repository/my-plugin:latest
    
  3. Push the image:

    docker push quay.io/my-repository/my-plugin:latest
    

Deployment on cluster

After pushing an image with your changes to a registry, you can deploy the plugin to a cluster by instantiating the provided OpenShift template. It will run a light-weight nginx HTTP server to serve your plugin's assets.

oc process -f template.yaml \
  -p PLUGIN_NAME=my-plugin \
  -p NAMESPACE=my-plugin-namespace \
  -p IMAGE=quay.io/my-repository/my-plugin:latest \
  | oc create -f -

PLUGIN_NAME must match the plugin name you used in the consolePlugin declaration of package.json.

Once deployed, patch the Console operator config to enable the plugin.

oc patch consoles.operator.openshift.io cluster \
  --patch '{ "spec": { "plugins": ["my-plugin"] } }' --type=merge
