Thank you Roman for starting the thread and Angel and Brad for providing your feedback.
Che single user is that it's the only version of Che offered as a minishift addon
True, but that can be easily fixed (rhche minishift addon already support multiuser)
I just don't have enough RAM to do it
That was my major concern until I tried it: postgre container uses ~3MB only and keycloak ~500MB. That's a total of ~500 MB and it's relatively small if we think about the RAM needed to properly run a Che java workspace (>4GB).
It's useful to be able to iterate quickly on single-user (e.g. not pushing images, quicker debugging) for issues that are unrelated to the single/multi-user decision
That's seems to me a docker vs openshift argument rather than single vs multi-user. We cannot refresh without rebuilding/pushing Che image on OpenShift/K8s but we can avoid that with Docker. Am I right?
for someone who is just wanting to quickly look at Che on their laptop with Docker for Mac / Docker for Windows it's super helpful
Looks like a docker vs openshift argument too. And now that kubernetes bundled with Docker for Mac / Docker we should be able to easily run k8s based Che on those platforms (but that should be verified and documented).
