Extending the base image

When extending the base image, source kubedock_setup should be called in the new image's entrypoint to set up kubedock support. This sets up a wrapper for podman to use kubedock for the following podman commands if the KUBEDOCK_ENABLED env variable is set to true:

podman run
podman ps
podman exec
podman cp
podman logs
podman inspect
podman kill
podman rm
podman wait
podman stop
podman start

An example is available in the Universal Developer Image dockerfile here.

Developer Universal Image

Environment Variables

Java

JAVA_HOME_8, JAVA_HOME_11, JAVA_HOME_17, JAVA_HOME_21

Configuration

Registry Override

The workflows support using custom container registries through the REGISTRY environment variable. This is useful for forks that want to publish to their own registry.

Default behavior: Images are published to quay.io/devfile

To override in a fork:

1. Go to your repository Settings → Secrets and Variables → Actions → Variables
2. Add a repository variable: REGISTRY = your-registry.com/your-namespace
3. All workflows will automatically use your custom registry

Example registry formats:

• quay.io/youruser
• ghcr.io/youruser
• docker.io/youruser
• your-private-registry.com/namespace

Builds

This repo contains actions, including:

• 
• 

Downstream builds can be found at the link below, which is internal to Red Hat. Stable builds can be found by replacing the 3.x with a specific version like 3.2.

• udi_3.x
