CHE_HOST variable is not working as expected

[skabashnyuk]

I want to pass CHE_HOST=172.19.20.18 to che cli to be able to use che from remote host.
Che started successfully. Workspace started but not able to communicate with master.
In che.env variable CHE_HOST was commented.
Reproduction Steps:

1. start che docker run -it --rm -e "CHE_HOST=172.19.20.18" -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v $HOME/.che/data:/data -v $HOME/dev/src/codenvy/che:/repo eclipse/che-cli:nightly start
2. Start workspace

Expected behavior:
workspace started
Observed behavior:
workspace is not able to start

After I've edit che.env and set CHE_HOST=172.19.20.18 workspace started successfully

Just to confirm - the Che host is not being written into Che.env when you first do an installation?

[skabashnyuk]

NO. CHE_HOST was commented out.

Bug confirmed. It seems that in the refactoring, the ability to assignt this variable was altered.

Fixed in #3345.
