These limits come from cluster wide templates.
I think we can extend the PVC quotas, something we discussed last time when we extended memory limits.

Hi Gennady,
Yes, it's possible to change the workspace from '/projects' to '/tmp/theia' using 'File > Open Workspace...'.
But in this case '/tmp/theia' directory must be created by hand.
But there is another inconvenience, that it '/tmp' directory is totally removed when workspace restart.
Hi Vitaliy,
Thanks for sharing this.
For my understanding:
Do we know where those limitations (3G for root and 1G for /projects) are configured?
@Ilya Buziuk any idea?
As a workaround, can not you make Che to use /tmp/theia as a work directory instead? Is it hardcoded to /projects/theia/ somehow?
Hello team,
I'd like to share the way how to develop che-theia on che.openshift.io
where we have a restriction on disk space for projects in one gigabyte.
The main idea is using temporary directory in the root where the limitation
of disk space is 3 gigabytes, which is pretty enough to build the project.
The development flow includes:
- workspace creation, cloning theia sources
- copying sources to /tmp/theia directory
- initializing che-theia
- building
- launching
- making and applying changes
# Workspace creation, cloning theia sources
To create a workspace I use devdile[1], which has a set of commands helping
me to operate with source code. After starting, my workspace has
cloned two theia and che-theia projects. I’m focused on developing
packages in theia core, that’s why sources of che-theia temporary are not
used.
# Copying sources to '/tmp/theia' directory
To copy sources to '/tmp/theia' directory I use rsync, running in che-dev
container.
As eclipse/che-theia-dev image does not have rsync tool, I had to extend
that image[2] and install rsync. The devfile has '1 Rsync Theia' command to
easily
synchronizing '/protects/theia' directory with '/tmp/theia'.
$ rsync -rtv --exclude='node_mobules' /projects/theia/ /tmp/theia/;
# Initlalizing che-theia
To initialize che-theia we need to run 'che:theia init' in '/tmp/theia'
directory.
The '2 Init che:theia' command does that in one click.
# Building
'3 Build che:theia' command runs 'yarn' in '/tmp/theia' directory.
# Launching
For Che-Theia I prefer to use dedicated directories for plugins, default
plugins and
for projects, which is used as Theia workspace directory. In the directory
with default
plugins I copy all the plugins from '/default-theia-plugins', which is
accessible only from
'theia-ide'. That's why '4.1 Prepare theia-* dirs' command is running in
that container.
$ mkdir -v /projects/theia-default-plugins
$ mkdir -v /projects/theia-plugins
$ mkdir -v /projects/theia-projects-dir
$ cd /default-theia-plugins
$ cp -v * /projects/theia-default-plugins/
'4.2 Launch' command sets necessary variables and launches Che-Theia
in 'che-dev' container.
$ cd /tmp/theia/examples/assembly
$ export CHE_PROJECTS_ROOT="/projects/theia-projects-dir"
$ export
THEIA_DEFAULT_PLUGINS="local-dir:///projects/theia-default-plugins"
$ export THEIA_PLUGINS="local-dir:///projects/theia-plugins"
$ export THEIA_PLUGIN_ENDPOINT_DISCOVERY_PORT='2506'
$ theia start /projects/theia-projects-dir --hostname=0.0.0.0
--port=3010
To open Che-Theia, click 'che-dev/theia-dev-flow' node in My Workspace view
