Create Spaces

There are two ways how a Space can be created:

1. By the cli via devspace create space or the UI
2. By the cluster admin via Clusters -> Click On Cluser -> Spaces -> Create Space

Your Space name should only contain the following characters: a-z, 0-9, - and space names must be unique for each user (but two users can have a space with the same name).

Creating a Space will automatically switch the kubectl context and use it for the current project (if there is any).

Accessing Spaces

To configure your local kube context or project to use a certain space just run the following command anywhere on your computer (or in the project you want to use the space for):

devspace use space NAME

This will also change the current kubectl context to the space context.

To get a list of all your Spaces, run:

devspace list spaces

If you are a cluster admin you can also access the spaces of other users. Run:

devspace list spaces --all

to also display spaces from other users. Spaces from other users are displayed in the form of username:spacename and can be used via devspace use space username:spacename.

Create a Space for another cluster user

Navigate to Clusters -> Click On Cluser -> Spaces. Click on the Create Space button and select an user you want to create a space for. You are now able to specify the space limits for this new space. The user is then able to access the space via devspace use space NAME.

Switch between Spaces

When using a command like devspace use space or devspace create space within a folder that has a devspace.yaml, DevSpace will switch the currently used space and write it to the .devspace/generated.yaml. So the next time you run devspace deploy or devspace dev the previously configured space will be used.

If you want to stop using a space for a porject and switch to the currently active kubectl context you can run devspace use space none.

If you want to switch to another Space, simply run:

devspace use space [SPACE_NAME]

Possible use cases for this command would be:

1. You are using multiple Spaces for production, staging and development.
2. You got a new computer, cloned your project and want to re-connect your project to an already existing Space that you created on your old computer.
