Server configuration file

To configure the IDE Services Server, you need to create an application.yaml file. Your server will process and retrieve essential configurations by leveraging the capabilities of SpringFramework.

Within the application.yaml file, you can define a wide range of settings, including secrets, authorization and authentication details, object storage parameters, database and logging options, and more.

The server application is capable of processing multiple configuration files. If you have several versions of application.yaml, IDE Services uses the last file in the list to eliminate conflicts. To pass configuration files to the IDE Services Server, add the SPRING_CONFIG_ADDITIONAL-LOCATION environment variable and list the necessary files using commas as separators.

Basic configuration

Create and fill in application.yaml following the example below. This example configuration only includes the required parameters.

            server:
                port: 8080
                #ssl:
                #    enabled: true
                #    key-store-type: "PKCS12"
                #    key-store-password: "tbe-server"
            tbe:
                deployment:
                    url: "https://TODO" ### Use the public server URL here, https is highly advised

                db:
                    host: "postgresql:5432"
                    database: "toolbox"
                    user: "username"
                    password: "password"

                storage:
                    type: s3

                minio:
                    url: "https://minio"
                    bucket: "toolbox"
                    access-key: "username"
                    secret-key: "password"
                    # s3-region: 'eu-west-1' # optional

                auth:
                    # See the examples of OAuth 2.0 service configuration
                    login-url: "http://localhost:8085/auth/realms/toolbox/protocol/openid-connect/auth"
                    token-url: "http://mock-auth:8085/auth/realms/toolbox/protocol/openid-connect/token"
                    jwt-certs-url: "http://mock-auth:8085/auth/realms/toolbox/protocol/openid-connect/certs"
                    client-id: "tbe-server"
                    client-secret: "123456"
                    root-admin-emails:
                    - 'toolbox.admin@example.com'

            springdoc:
                api-docs:
                    enabled: true # Enable OpenAPI documentation at /swagger-ui.html

            logging:
                level:
                    root: INFO # can be changed to WARN/DEBUG/TRACE
        

Secrets

There are different ways to extract passwords from the configuration file:

Using environment variables in the Docker container: You can set the password as an environment variable, such as S3_SECRET_KEY, and reference it in the IDE Services configuration files using the following syntax:
secret-key: "${S3_SECRET_KEY}"
Using the Spring Boot configuration tree feature: In this scenario, Kubernetes mounts passwords to multiple files, and SpringFramework loads these files as properties. In certain cases, you may need to use ${interpolation} to ensure the correct configuration.
To include the secrets from the mounted files, set the SPRING_CONFIG_ADDITIONAL-LOCATION environment variable with the configuration file paths. You can use a special path like configtree:/secrets/*/ for this purpose.

tbe.users.import.token

Specify an API token in the SSWS <token> format.

Required for: Okta.

tbe.users.import.login-max-delay

Specify a timeout for the initial user login. IDE Services attempts to retrieve the information from Okta within the specified timeframe. If successful, the user logs in with complete data and groups. Failure to obtain the data within this timeframe results in the user being created and logged in with default attribute values. The user's groups and details will be eventually updated through periodic synchronization.

tbe.users.import.mapping.groups

Specify identifiers of Okta groups or object identifiers of Microsoft Entra ID groups that should be imported and mapped to IDE Services. Users who belong to these designated identity provider groups will have mirrored groups created in IDE Services with the matching group names. All other existing IDE Services users, such as those present before the group import was enabled, will be deactivated.

Additionally, if a user is removed from a designated identity provider group, they are also removed from the mirrored group in IDE Services and disabled, as group sync is the sole reference for user management.

tbe.users.import.mapping.admin-groups

Specify identifiers of Okta groups or object identifiers of Microsoft Entra ID groups to grant administrator rights to members of these groups in IDE Services.

If a user isn’t part of these specified groups, their administrator rights in IDE Services are revoked. However, if user credentials are included in the server configuration file, these users will retain access to the IDE Services Server for emergencies, such as when the admin group is accidentally removed from the identity provider.

Binary downloads

tbe.download.cdn-redirect-mode

Defines how IDE Services processes requests to download IDEs coming from the Toolbox App.

Possible values:

redirect_to_service: specify this option if you want to send requests directly to the binary source, such as JetBrains Marketplace or your object storage. Use this option only if the binary source is accessible from developer machines.
handle_redirects: specify this option if you want to use the IDE Services Server as a proxy for requests to the binary source. Use this option if developer machines don't have direct access to the binary source (for example, if you use any proxy service for your object storage). The IDE Services Server will handle redirects in this case.
Using this option causes the IDE Services Server to act as a proxy, which may result in consuming more resources due to the additional processing and handling of download requests.

tbe.download.feed-cache-time

Specify the time period for storing the Toolbox App metadata as cache.

Plugin installation from IDEs

tbe.ij-plugins.cdn-redirect-mode

Defines how IDE Services processes requests to download plugins coming from an IDE.

Possible values:

redirect_to_service: specify this option if you want to send requests directly to the binary source, such as JetBrains Marketplace or your object storage. Use this option only if the binary source is accessible from developer machines.
handle_redirects: specify this option if you want to use the IDE Services Server as a proxy for requests to the binary source. Use this option if developer machines don't have direct access to the binary source (for example, if you use any proxy service for your object storage). The IDE Services Server will handle redirects in this case.
Using this option causes the IDE Services Server to act as a proxy, which may result in consuming more resources due to the additional processing and handling of download requests.

Plugin installation from Toolbox App

tbe.tbe-ij-plugin.tbe-plugin-repository-type

Specify the source for obtaining plugins. Possible values:

TBE: specify this option if you want IDE Services to install plugins from the local plugin repository. Use this option when working in offline mode.
MARKETPLACE: specify this option if you want IDE Services to search for plugins externally on the marketplace.

tbe.tbe-ij-plugin.cdn-redirect-mode

Defines how IDE Services processes requests to download plugins coming from the Toolbox App.

Possible values:

redirect_to_service: specify this option if you want to send requests directly to the binary source, such as JetBrains Marketplace or your object storage. Use this option only if the binary source is accessible from developer machines.
handle_redirects: specify this option if you want to use the IDE Services Server as a proxy for requests to the binary source. Use this option if developer machines don't have direct access to the binary source (for example, if you use any proxy service for your object storage). The IDE Services Server will handle redirects in this case.
Using this option causes the IDE Services Server to act as a proxy, which may result in consuming more resources due to the additional processing and handling of download requests.
