Verify the Che installation

Confirm that Che is operational before onboarding users by checking the Operator pod, the CheCluster status, and the dashboard URL.

This page is for platform administrators who install, configure, and manage Che on Kubernetes clusters. To learn more about common roles and example tasks referenced in Che documentation, see Common user roles and tasks.

Prerequisites

  • You have installed Che on an Kubernetes cluster.

  • You have an active kubectl session with administrative permissions to the Kubernetes cluster.

Procedure

  1. Verify that the Che Operator pod is running:

    kubectl get pods -n eclipse-che -l app.kubernetes.io/component=che-operator

  2. Verify that the CheCluster custom resource reports no errors:

    kubectl get checluster eclipse-che -n eclipse-che -o jsonpath='{.status.chePhase}'

    The expected output is Active.

  3. Retrieve the Che dashboard URL:

    kubectl get checluster eclipse-che -n eclipse-che -o jsonpath='{.status.cheURL}'

  4. Open the URL in a web browser and log in with your Kubernetes credentials.

Verification

  • The Che dashboard loads and displays the Create Workspace page.
