Configuring Automatic Opening of URLs

DevSpace allows you to define URLs that should open after deploying an application in development mode, i.e. using devspace dev.

The configuration for automatically opening URLs can be found in the dev.open section of devspace.yaml.

dev:
  open:
  - url: http://localhost:3000/login

Setting dev.open only affects devspace dev. To open your application after running devspace deploy, run devspace open.

dev.open

The open option expects an array of auto-open configurations with exactly one of the following properties:

• url to open a URL in the default browser

Providing a URL results in the following behavior during devspace dev:

• DevSpace deploys the application and starts to periodically send HTTP GET requests to the provideded url.
• As soon as the first HTTP response has a status code which is neither 502 (Bad Gateway) nor 503 (Service Unavailable), DevSpace assumes that the application is now started, stops sending any further requests and opens the provided URL in the browser.

Default Value For open

open: []

Example: Open URL when Starting Dev Mode

dev:
  open:
  - url: http://localhost:3000/login

Explanation:
Running devspace dev using the above configuration would do the following:

• Build images and deploy the application
• Start port-forwarding and code-synchronization
• DevSpace opens the browser with URL http://localhost:3000/login
