Enable Go artifact repositories

Configure Go to use a module proxy by setting environment variables in your workspaces.

Prerequisites

  • You are not running any Go workspace.

Applying a ConfigMap that sets environment variables might cause a workspace boot loop.

If you encounter this behavior, remove the ConfigMap and edit the devfile directly.
Procedure

  1. Create a Secret to store the TLS certificate:

    kind: Secret
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: tls-cer
  annotations:
    controller.devfile.io/mount-path: /home/user/certs
    controller.devfile.io/mount-as: file
  labels:
    controller.devfile.io/mount-to-devworkspace: 'true'
    controller.devfile.io/watch-secret: 'true'
data:
  tls.cer: >-
    <Base64_encoded_content_of_public_cert> (1)
    1 Base64 encoding with disabled line wrapping.

  2. Create a ConfigMap to set the following environment variables in the tools container:

    kind: ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: disconnected-env
  annotations:
    controller.devfile.io/mount-as: env
  labels:
    controller.devfile.io/mount-to-devworkspace: 'true'
    controller.devfile.io/watch-configmap: 'true'
data:
  GOPROXY: >-
    http://<athens_proxy_route>
  SSL_CERT_FILE: /home/user/certs/tls.cer
