odo v3.14.0 is now out!

To install odo, follow the installation guide.

Notable Changes​

Features​

odo dev Web UI out of the experimental mode​

The odo web User Interface, which was previously available experimentally, is now out of the experimental mode. This means that it will be exposed and available out of the box whenever a Dev Session is started with odo dev, regardless of the experimental mode status.

This web UI currently aims at providing a simplified way to:

  1. understand the Devfile and how odo interprets it.
  2. edit the Devfile and tailor it to your project needs.

It is still a work in progress; so we are looking for feedback to improve it.

To use it, just start odo dev (regardless of the target platform) and navigate to the URL displayed in the output (or retrievable via the odo describe component command).

Example Output
$ odo dev --platform podman                                                                                                                                                                    
[...]

Support for Volumes in the odo Web UI​

It is now possible to create Volumes in the odo Web UI and also to specify volume mounts from the Containers tab:

Add Volume

Add Volume Mount

--filter in odo registry now supports a list of terms​

When running odo registry --filter, you can now pass a list of terms to filter the results. --filter is now a comma-separated list of terms for filtering, and search is done using a logical AND against the name or description or supported architectures of the Devfile Stacks.

Example Output
$ odo registry --filter s390x,java

Filtering devfile stacks based on the architecture field in metadata when running odo init​

When running odo init either interactively or non-interactively, the supported architectures declared in the Devfile are now handled.

In the interactive mode, odo init now allows you to pick the architectures you want or displays it from the Devfile suggested for your project.

Example Output
$ odo init
[...]
Interactive mode enabled, please answer the following questions:
 ✓  Determining a Devfile for the current directory [603ms]
 ⚠  Could not determine a Devfile based on the files in the current directory: No valid devfile found for project in /tmp/test2
? Select architectures to filter by:  [Use arrows to move, space to select, <right> to all, <left> to none, type to filter]
> [x]  amd64
  [ ]  arm64
  [ ]  ppc64le
  [ ]  s390x
[...]

In the non-interactive mode, odo init allows you to specify the architectures using a repeatable --architecture option.

Example Output
$ odo init --name my-app --devfile nodejs \
    --architecture amd64 \
    --architecture s390x 

[...]

Your new component 'my-app' is ready in the current directory.
To start editing your component, use 'odo dev' and open this folder in your favorite IDE.
Changes will be directly reflected on the cluster.
