IDE Settings

Last modified: 01 October 2024

tip

Basic post-installation steps for the system administrator:

  1. Activate the license

  2. Configure dev environments

  3. Configure user access

  4. Configure namespaces

When a dev environment is created, it gets an IDE defined in the dev environment template from a particular IDE feed. As a system administrator, you can predefine the default IDE versions and configure IDE feeds.

Default IDE versions

You can predefine the IDE versions that will be used in dev environments by default, i.e., in the case when the IDE version is not explicitly specified in a dev environment template. If you don't predefine the default IDE versions, the default is the latest IDE version available in IDE feeds.

To predefine default IDE versions

  1. Select Administration in the header navigation, then in the sidebar menu, select Default IDE Versions.

  2. Find the required IDE and choose a new default version.

IDE feeds

An IDE feed is a centralized source of IDEs for dev environments:

  • It provides IDE components to a dev environment during its creation.

  • When creating a dev environment template, namespace administrators can choose an IDE version from the versions available in the IDE feed. The default IDE version is specified by a system administrator.

As a system administrator, you can use the JetBrains IDE feed or add a custom one.

To add an IDE feed

  1. Select Administration in the header navigation, then in the sidebar menu, select IDE Feeds.

  2. Click New feed.

  3. Specify the feed Name and other settings:

    • Toolbox or Custom – choose Toolbox in case you want to use a feed provided by your JetBrains Toolbox installation. Select Custom to add a custom feed.

    • URL – the URL of the feed. In the case of a Custom feed, the URL must point to a product.json file generated by the IDE downloader.

    • Authorization – if the feed requires authentication, specify its type (Bearer or Basic) and provide the required credentials.

  4. If you want to check the feed settings, click Test connection. If the connection is successful, click Save.
