This guide will help you throught the process of deploying a local kind cluster.
Kind is a tool for running local Kubernetes clusters using Docker container “nodes”. Kind was primarily designed for testing Kubernetes itself, but may be used for local development or CI.
Prerequisites
This guide assumes you have alreay installed:
Create a cluster
Create a kind config file called kind-config.yaml
with the following content:
kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
nodes:
- role: control-plane
kubeadmConfigPatches:
- |
kind: InitConfiguration
nodeRegistration:
kubeletExtraArgs:
node-labels: "ingress-ready=true"
extraPortMappings:
- containerPort: 80
hostPort: 80
protocol: TCP
- containerPort: 443
hostPort: 443
protocol: TCP
Then create the cluster using the following command:
kind create cluster --config kind-config.yaml
The configured cluster is ready to accept requests on port 80 and 443.
Install ingress controller
By default k8s does not have an ingress controller installed. To install the ingress controller run the following command:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/static/provider/kind/deploy.yaml
This will install the nginx ingress controller in the cluster (the most used ingress controller right now, but you can install many other, the only thing you have to do is to change the ingressClassName
in your ingress resources).
Test the cluster
To test the cluster you can create a simple deployment and a service:
kubectl run hello \
--expose \
--image nginxdemos/hello:plain-text \
--port 80
Then create a file called ingress.yaml
with the following content:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: hello
spec:
rules:
- host: hello.robertoconterosito.it
http:
paths:
- pathType: ImplementationSpecific
backend:
service:
name: hello
port:
number: 80
Then apply the ingress resource:
kubectl apply -f ingress.yaml
Now you can test the ingress resource using the following command:
curl -H "Host: hello.robertoconterosito.it" localhost
