Camel Openshift Console Plugin

Warning

The project is still a work in progress that has not been released yet. Unstability is to be expected.

This project provides a console plugin for Camel. The project is created using openshift console plugin template

Current version: 0.0.1

It requires:

• OpenShift 4.18
• Camel Dashboard Operator

It can also leverage the Hawtio Online OpenShift Console Plugin.

Local Development

Node.js 20+ and Yarn are required to build and run this locally. To run OpenShift console in a container, podman 3.2.0+ or Docker is required.

For development you can login to an existing OpenShift and run the console with the plugin included locally.

In one terminal window, run:

1. yarn install
2. yarn run start

In another terminal window, run:

1. oc login (requires oc and an OpenShift cluster)
2. yarn run start-console (requires Docker or podman 3.2.0+)

This will run the OpenShift console in a container connected to the cluster you've logged into. The plugin HTTP server runs on port 9001 with CORS enabled. Navigate to http://localhost:9000/example to see the running plugin.

Deployment to OpenShift

To deploy the console plugin to an actual OpenShift cluster the following are needed:

• oc
• helm

Building the images locally

podman build -t quay.io/camel-tooling/camel-openshift-console-plugin:latest .
podman push quay.io/camel-tooling/camel-openshift-console-plugin:latest

Note: The image quay.io/camel-tooling/camel-openshift-console-plugin:latest is published so it can be pulled instead.

Deploying the plugin using Helm

oc new-project camel-dashboard
helm upgrade -i camel-openshift-console-plugin https://github.com/camel-tooling/camel-openshift-console-plugin/raw/refs/heads/main/docs/charts/camel-openshift-console-plugin-0.0.1.tgz --namespace camel-dashboard --set plugin.image=quay.io/camel-tooling/camel-openshift-console-plugin:latest

The Camel Tab

In the developer perpective the Camel section is now shown:

User Configuration

To be able to see your Camel integrations in the Camel Dashboard you need for your user to have access to the Custom Resources created by the camel-dashboard-operator with the following permissions:

- apiGroups:
  - "camel.apache.org"
  resources:
  - apps
  verbs:
  - get
  - list
  - watch

You can use the helm script installation with the your values to easily create Role/RoleBinding pairs:

appsCamelRbac:
  - namespace: my-project
    subjects:
      - apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
        kind: User
        name: developer
