OpenShift Clowder Plugin

A dynamic plugin for the OpenShift Console that provides Clowder-related UI components. Built with the OpenShift Console Dynamic Plugin SDK and PatternFly.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20 and Yarn
• OpenShift Console (for integration testing)
• Docker or Podman (for container builds)

Development Setup

Local Development

# Build the plugin (output to dist/)
yarn build

# Start a local HTTP server for the built plugin
yarn http-server

The server runs on port 9001 with caching disabled and CORS enabled. Pass additional server options to the script:

yarn http-server -a 127.0.0.1

Testing with OpenShift Console

1. Clone OpenShift Console
2. Build the console
3. Run with the plugin enabled:

./bin/bridge -plugins clowder-plugin=http://127.0.0.1:9001/

Deployment

On Cluster

Apply the OpenShift manifest:

oc process --local -f oc-manifest.yaml | oc apply -f -

The Service is annotated for a signed service serving certificate, enabling HTTP/TLS with a trusted CA certificate.

Enabling the Plugin

oc edit console.operator.openshift.io cluster

spec:
