This is not an official Google product, this is just a way I found to get stuff done.

Required

• A server that can run docker

Recommended

• A VPN connection to that server - see the opvnvpn image (TODO(Andrew) Add link)
• A private IP address only visible on the server

Seting up the private IP address

• Populate the IP address you want in 99-dev-server-ip.cfg, replacing 192.168.8.8 with your chosen IP address.
• cp 99-dev-server-ip.cfg /etc/network/interfaces.d/99-dev-server-ip.cfg

Run

docker-compose run che start

If you want to give your che workspaces the ability to run docker commands (say, for instance that you're developing docker images) then add edit chedata/instance/config/che.properties, by replacing

che.docker.privileged=false

with

che.docker.privileged=true
machine.docker.privilege_mode=true
che.workspace.volume=/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

The run

docker-compose run che restart

Edit docker-compose.yml to pick the version of Che you wish (alternatively you can just remove the version number and always use the latest).

Then run

docker pull eclipse/che
docker-compose run che upgrade
