How to define endpoint for kubernetes component in devfile?

[makandre]

Description

In a stack definition, I can define a server for a machine:

"ui": {
  "servers": {
    "dashboard": {
      "protocol": "http",
      "port": "8081"
    }
  }
}

Similarly, in devfile I can define endpoint for a dockerimage component:

type: dockerimage
alias: ui
image: 'test-ui:latest'
memoryLimit: 0.5G
endpoints:
  - name: dashboard
    port: 8081
    attributes:
      protocol: http

In both cases, this creates an endpoint in Che workspace that I can click on to open a page on my server:

But I have not figure out how to do this with a kubernetes component, which I define below (I also tried adding an ingress as well but it does not get created):

kind: List
items:
  - kind: Pod
    apiVersion: v1
    metadata:
      name: ws
    spec:
      containers:
        - image: 'test-ui:latest'
          name: ui
          ports:
            - containerPort: 8081
              protocol: TCP
          resources:
            limits:
              memory: 512Mi
  - kind: Service
    apiVersion: v1
    metadata:
      name: dashboard
    spec:
      selector:
        name: ws
      ports:
        - port: 8081
          targetPort: 8081

Thanks.

Hello @makandre . You can't at this moment. Here is #12268 corresponding issue.

@makandre doesn't che-theia port plugin work for you? It's a plugin included in the che-theia distribution and ask you if you want to expose an endpoint as soon as it founds a process listening to a TCP port. Another option should be to define an Ingress in your yaml (Ingresses are supported #12899) but in that case you will need to kubectl get ingress to get the URL: it won't appear in the containers view.

@l0rd I see the port plugin is installed, but it doesn't appear to do anything for my case (I see the popup only once; I have no idea what triggered it)

I did also try to define an ingress in my yaml, but the resource is not created. Possibly I defined it incorrectly, if you could provide a working example that would be great.
