CreateEnvironmentFromProject

POST/gitpod.v1.EnvironmentService/CreateEnvironmentFromProject

Creates an environment from an existing project configuration and starts it.

This method uses project settings as defaults but allows overriding specific configurations. Project settings take precedence over default configurations, while custom specifications in the request override project settings.

Examples

  • Create with project defaults:

    Creates an environment using all default settings from the project configuration.

    projectId: "b0e12f6c-4c67-429d-a4a6-d9838b5da047"

  • Create with custom compute resources:

    Creates an environment from project with custom machine class and timeout settings.

    projectId: "b0e12f6c-4c67-429d-a4a6-d9838b5da047"
spec:
  machine:
    class: "d2c94c27-3b76-4a42-b88c-95a85e392c68"
  timeout:
    disconnected: "14400s"  # 4 hours in seconds

timeout contains the reason the environment has timed out. If this field is empty, the environment has not timed out.

versions: optional object { amiId, supervisorCommit, supervisorVersion }

versions contains the versions of components in the machine.

amiId: optional string
supervisorCommit: optional string
supervisorVersion: optional string
warningMessage: optional string

warning_message contains warnings, e.g. when the machine is present but not in the expected state.

phase: optional EnvironmentPhase

the phase of an environment is a simple, high-level summary of where the environment is in its lifecycle

One of the following:
"ENVIRONMENT_PHASE_UNSPECIFIED"
"ENVIRONMENT_PHASE_CREATING"
"ENVIRONMENT_PHASE_STARTING"
"ENVIRONMENT_PHASE_RUNNING"
"ENVIRONMENT_PHASE_UPDATING"
"ENVIRONMENT_PHASE_STOPPING"
"ENVIRONMENT_PHASE_STOPPED"
"ENVIRONMENT_PHASE_DELETING"
"ENVIRONMENT_PHASE_DELETED"
runnerAck: optional object { message, specVersion, statusCode }

runner_ack contains the acknowledgement from the runner that is has received the environment spec.

message: optional string
specVersion: optional string
statusCode: optional "STATUS_CODE_UNSPECIFIED" or "STATUS_CODE_OK" or "STATUS_CODE_INVALID_RESOURCE" or "STATUS_CODE_FAILED_PRECONDITION"
One of the following:
"STATUS_CODE_UNSPECIFIED"
"STATUS_CODE_OK"
"STATUS_CODE_INVALID_RESOURCE"
"STATUS_CODE_FAILED_PRECONDITION"
secrets: optional array of object { id, failureMessage, phase, 3 more }

secrets contains the status of the environment secrets

id: optional string

id is the unique identifier of the secret.

failureMessage: optional string

failure_message contains the reason the secret failed to be materialize.

phase: optional "CONTENT_PHASE_UNSPECIFIED" or "CONTENT_PHASE_CREATING" or "CONTENT_PHASE_INITIALIZING" or 4 more
One of the following:
"CONTENT_PHASE_UNSPECIFIED"
"CONTENT_PHASE_CREATING"
"CONTENT_PHASE_INITIALIZING"
"CONTENT_PHASE_READY"
"CONTENT_PHASE_UPDATING"
"CONTENT_PHASE_FAILED"
"CONTENT_PHASE_UNAVAILABLE"
secretName: optional string
session: optional string

session is the session that is currently active in the environment.

warningMessage: optional string

warning_message contains warnings, e.g. when the secret is present but not in the expected state.

sshPublicKeys: optional array of object { id, phase }

ssh_public_keys contains the status of the environment ssh public keys

id: optional string

id is the unique identifier of the public key

phase: optional "CONTENT_PHASE_UNSPECIFIED" or "CONTENT_PHASE_CREATING" or "CONTENT_PHASE_INITIALIZING" or 4 more

phase is the current phase of the public key

One of the following:
"CONTENT_PHASE_UNSPECIFIED"
"CONTENT_PHASE_CREATING"
"CONTENT_PHASE_INITIALIZING"
"CONTENT_PHASE_READY"
"CONTENT_PHASE_UPDATING"
"CONTENT_PHASE_FAILED"
"CONTENT_PHASE_UNAVAILABLE"
statusVersion: optional string

version of the status update. Environment instances themselves are unversioned, but their status has different versions. The value of this field has no semantic meaning (e.g. don’t interpret it as as a timestamp), but it can be used to impose a partial order. If a.status_version < b.status_version then a was the status before b.

warningMessage: optional array of string

warning_message contains warnings, e.g. when the environment is present but not in the expected state.
