• server/: Simple Node Restful API

Prerequisite

• Homebrew installed
• Hypervisor installed (Virtualbox, Hyperkit, etc.)

Get started

1. Install kubectl and Hyperkit with Homebrew
brew install kubernetes-cli hyperkit && kubectl version

2. Install Minikube with Homebrew
brew cask install minikube

3. Set Minikube driver to Hyperkit (default is Virtualbox)
   minikube config set vm-driver hyperkit

4. Create a Minikube node and enable Ingress
   minikube start

5. Enable Ingress Add-on for Minikube
   minikube addons enable ingress

6. Clone this repo
   git clone git@github.com:turbothinh/K8s-with-Minikube.git && cd K8s-with-Minikube

7. Create objects in the cluster
   kubectl apply -f k8s

8. Enable Ingress-nginx service
   kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/mandatory.yaml

9. Check if everything is working correctly using Minikube dashboard
   minikube dashboard

10. Connect to the exposed services: client and server

    • First get Minikube IP by running minikube ip
    • Copy the IP and paste to browser to visit client
    • Append /api to the IP on browser to visit server

Walla!
