After you push the init image to a cluster with a mirrored registry, you must mirror a supported builder image for your application with the oc tool, overwrite the mirror registry using the environment variable, and then create your component.

Prerequisites

Mirroring a supported builder image

To use npm packages for Node.js dependencies and Maven packages for Java dependencies and configure a runtime environment for your application, you must mirror a respective builder image from the mirror registry.

Procedure
  1. Verify that the required images tag is not imported:

    $ oc describe is nodejs -n openshift
    Example output
    Name:                   nodejs
    Namespace:              openshift
    [...]
    
    10
      tagged from <mirror-registry>:<port>/rhoar-nodejs/nodejs-10
        prefer registry pullthrough when referencing this tag
    
      Build and run Node.js 10 applications on RHEL 7. For more information about using this builder image, including OpenShift considerations, see https://github.com/nodeshift/centos7-s2i-nodejs.
      Tags: builder, nodejs, hidden
      Example Repo: https://github.com/sclorg/nodejs-ex.git
    
      ! error: Import failed (NotFound): dockerimage.image.openshift.io "<mirror-registry>:<port>/rhoar-nodejs/nodejs-10:latest" not found
          About an hour ago
    
    10-SCL (latest)
      tagged from <mirror-registry>:<port>/rhscl/nodejs-10-rhel7
        prefer registry pullthrough when referencing this tag
    
      Build and run Node.js 10 applications on RHEL 7. For more information about using this builder image, including OpenShift considerations, see https://github.com/nodeshift/centos7-s2i-nodejs.
      Tags: builder, nodejs
      Example Repo: https://github.com/sclorg/nodejs-ex.git
    
      ! error: Import failed (NotFound): dockerimage.image.openshift.io "<mirror-registry>:<port>/rhscl/nodejs-10-rhel7:latest" not found
          About an hour ago
    
    [...]
  2. Mirror the supported image tag to the private registry:

    $ oc image mirror registry.access.redhat.com/rhscl/nodejs-10-rhel7:<tag> <private_registry>/rhscl/nodejs-10-rhel7:<tag>
  3. Import the image:

    $ oc tag <mirror-registry>:<port>/rhscl/nodejs-10-rhel7:<tag> nodejs-10-rhel7:latest --scheduled

    You must periodically re-import the image. The --scheduled flag enables automatic re-import of the image.

  4. Verify that the images with the given tag have been imported:

    $ oc describe is nodejs -n openshift
    Example output
    Name:                   nodejs
    [...]
    10-SCL (latest)
      tagged from <mirror-registry>:<port>/rhscl/nodejs-10-rhel7
        prefer registry pullthrough when referencing this tag
    
      Build and run Node.js 10 applications on RHEL 7. For more information about using this builder image, including OpenShift considerations, see https://github.com/nodeshift/centos7-s2i-nodejs.
      Tags: builder, nodejs
      Example Repo: https://github.com/sclorg/nodejs-ex.git

Overwriting the mirror registry

To download npm packages for Node.js dependencies and Maven packages for Java dependencies from a private mirror registry, you must create and configure a mirror npm or Maven registry on the cluster. You can then overwrite the mirror registry on an existing component or when you create a new component.

Procedure
  • To overwrite the mirror registry on an existing component:

    $ odo config set --env NPM_MIRROR=<npm_mirror_registry>
  • To overwrite the mirror registry when creating a component:

    $ odo component create nodejs --env NPM_MIRROR=<npm_mirror_registry>

Creating a Node.js application with odo

To create a Node.js component, download the Node.js application and push the source code to your cluster with odo.

Procedure
  1. Change the current directory to the directory with your application:

    $ cd <directory_name>
  2. Add a component of the type Node.js to your application:

    $ odo create nodejs
    By default, the latest image is used. You can also explicitly specify an image version by using odo create openshift/nodejs:8.
  3. Push the initial source code to the component:

    $ odo push

    Your component is now deployed to OpenShift Container Platform.

  4. Create a URL and add an entry in the local configuration file as follows:

    $ odo url create --port 8080
  5. Push the changes. This creates a URL on the cluster.

    $ odo push
  6. List the URLs to check the desired URL for the component.

    $ odo url list
  7. View your deployed application using the generated URL.

    $ curl <url>
