# IDE Service Component
2+
3+
## Overview
4+
5+
The IDE Service is a critical component in Gitpod that manages IDE configurations, resolves workspace IDE requirements, and provides information about available IDEs to other components in the system. It serves as the central authority for IDE-related information and decision-making.
6+
7+
## Purpose
8+
9+
The primary purposes of the IDE Service are:
10+
- Manage and serve IDE configuration information
11+
- Resolve which IDE images should be used for workspaces
12+
- Provide IDE configuration to clients and other services
13+
- Handle IDE version management and pinning
14+
- Support multiple IDE types (browser-based and desktop)
15+
- Integrate with various IDE clients (VS Code, JetBrains, etc.)
16+
17+
## Architecture
18+
19+
The IDE Service operates as a gRPC server with several key components:
20+
21+
1. **Config Manager**: Manages and serves IDE configuration information
22+
2. **Workspace Config Resolver**: Determines the appropriate IDE configuration for workspaces
23+
3. **Docker Registry Integration**: Interacts with container registries for IDE images
24+
4. **Experiments Integration**: Supports feature flags and experiments for IDE features
25+
26+
The service is designed to be lightweight and stateless, primarily serving configuration information and making decisions based on user preferences, workspace requirements, and system configuration.
27+
28+
## Key Files and Structure

# Registry Facade Component
2+
3+
## Overview
4+
5+
The Registry Facade is a specialized component in Gitpod that acts as an intermediary between the container runtime and container registries. It dynamically modifies container images by adding layers required for Gitpod workspaces, such as the supervisor, IDE, and other tools, without actually modifying the original images.
6+
7+
## Purpose
8+
9+
The primary purposes of the Registry Facade are:
10+
- Intercept container image pulls from the container runtime
11+
- Dynamically add layers to workspace images (supervisor, IDE, tools)
12+
- Provide a unified view of modified images to the container runtime
13+
- Cache image layers for improved performance
14+
- Handle authentication with upstream container registries
15+
- Support various image sources and layer types
16+
17+
## Architecture
18+
19+
The Registry Facade operates as a Docker registry-compatible service with several key components:
20+
21+
1. **Registry Server**: Implements the Docker Registry API to serve modified images
22+
2. **Layer Manager**: Handles the addition of static and dynamic layers to images
23+
3. **Authentication Handler**: Manages authentication with upstream registries
24+
4. **Caching System**: Caches image layers for improved performance
25+
5. **IPFS Integration**: Optional integration with IPFS for distributed layer storage
26+
27+
The component acts as an "image layer smuggler," inserting layers into container images in a specific order to create the complete workspace environment.
28+
29+
## Key Files and Structure
30+
31+
- `main.go`: Entry point that calls the Execute function from the cmd package
32+
- `cmd/root.go`: Defines the root command and basic service configuration
33+
- `cmd/run.go`: Implements the main registry service
34+
- `cmd/setup.go`: Handles service setup and configuration
35+
- `pkg/registry/`: Core registry implementation
36+
37+
## Dependencies
38+
39+
### Internal Dependencies
40+
- `components/common-go:lib`: Common Go utilities
41+
- `components/registry-facade-api/go:lib`: Registry facade API definitions
42+
43+
### External Dependencies
44+
- Docker registry client libraries
45+
- Containerd remote libraries
46+
- Prometheus for metrics
47+
- HTTP libraries for registry communication
48+
49+
## Configuration
50+
51+
The Registry Facade is configured via a JSON configuration file that includes:
52+
53+
### Registry Configuration
54+
- Port for the registry server
55+
- Static layers to add to images
56+
- Storage location for the registry
57+
- Authentication requirements
58+
- IPFS integration settings
59+
60+
### Blobserve Configuration
61+
- Port for the blobserve service
62+
- Repository configurations
63+
- Caching settings
64+
- Pre-pull configurations
65+
66+
### Authentication Configuration
67+
- Docker authentication configuration file path
68+
69+
## Layer Management
70+
71+
The Registry Facade manages several types of layers that are added to workspace images:
72+
73+
1. **Base Image**: The original container image for the workspace
74+
2. **Supervisor**: The Gitpod supervisor component
75+
3. **Workspacekit**: Tools for workspace management
76+
4. **DockerUp**: Docker support in workspaces
77+
5. **IDE**: The IDE (VS Code, JetBrains, etc.)
78+
6. **Desktop IDE**: Desktop versions of IDEs
79+
80+
These layers are added in a specific order to create the complete workspace environment.
81+
82+
## Integration Points
83+
84+
The Registry Facade integrates with:
85+
1. **Container Runtime**: Serves modified images to the container runtime
86+
2. **Workspace Manager**: Consults with workspace manager for layer information
87+
3. **Upstream Registries**: Pulls base images from upstream registries
88+
4. **Blobserve**: Works with blobserve for static content serving
89+
5. **IPFS**: Optional integration for distributed layer storage
90+
91+
## Security Considerations
92+
93+
- Handles authentication with upstream registries
94+
- Manages sensitive Docker credentials
95+
- Requires proper IAM permissions when using cloud-based registries
96+
- Implements proper caching and storage security
97+
98+
## Common Usage Patterns
99+
100+
The Registry Facade is typically used to:
101+
1. Serve workspace images with added layers to the container runtime
102+
2. Cache frequently used layers for improved performance
103+
3. Handle authentication with private registries
104+
4. Provide a unified view of modified images
105+
106+
## Related Components
