DevSpace

Development with DevSpace​

You can start using DevSpace with your Argonaut applications much faster with the art cli commands. art CLI creates a layer of abstraction over some of the most commonly used DevSpace commands so that you can get started quickly.

Prerequisites​

Ensure that you have the following installed before using DevSpace with any Argonaut application.

  • Docker
  • AWS CLI
  • Kubectl CLI
  • DevSpace CLI
  • The latest version of Art CLI

Use DevSpace in a New Application​

1. Checkout code​

Checkout your code using git and cd to the project directory.

2. Initialize Project​

Run the following in your application directory to create a devspace.yaml config file for your project.

art devspace-init --env <environment> --cluster <cluster> --app <app>

After running art devspace-init with the required parameters, you'll see a devspace.yaml file in your project. The command generates this config based on its knowledge of how you’ve configured your application on Argonaut.

3. Start Development​

Run the following command to start development mode:

devspace dev
info

art devspace commands work only with applications onboarded on Argonaut.

Changing DevSpace Context​

If you want to tell DevSpace to change the kube context for your Argonaut application (assuming you’re already running DevSpace development mode in another context), run the following:

art devspace-context --env <environment-name> --cluster <cluster-name> --app <argonaut-app-name>

You can immediately start development in the new context without having to run any more commands. The art devspace-context command implicitly sets the profile, context and namespace for your application based its knowledge of your application setup.

Advanced DevSpace Commands​

For advanced configuration using DevSpace, use DevSpace CLI.
