[che-dev] How to bootstrap a minimal Che IDE?

[Kaloyan Raev <kaloyan.r@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'd like to experiment with Che for the following use case.

We have an AWS AMI providing a professional PHP stack. It's an Ubuntu VM with Apache Web Server, Zend Server as the PHP stack, MySQL and other dev tools. I'd like to include the Che IDE in the same AMI and integrate it with the PHP runtime as tightly as possible to achieve better off-the-shelf experience.

I'd like to manually install the minimum required Che components in the existing AWS AMI. I need only a single workspace - the VM of the AMI itself. I don't need the Che dashboard and the ability to create new workspaces. Hence, I don't need the Docker management stuff.

Ideally, when I launch the AMI, I should have the Che IDE up-and-running very quickly.

What should I do to achieve the above?

Thanks,

Kaloyan
