Welcome to the HelloKubernetes repository! This is a beginner-friendly tutorial on deploying a simple nginx web server on a local Kubernetes cluster using the Kind container.
Before you can follow this tutorial, you'll need to have the following tools installed on your system:
- Docker: https://www.docker.com/
- kubectl: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/
- Kind: https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/
To get started with the tutorial, follow these steps.
- Create a local
kindcluster with a single node:
kind create cluster --name hello-nginx- Clone this repository to your local machine
git clone https://github.com/HelloDevOpsWorld/HelloKubernetes.git- Navigate to the
hello-kubernetes/kind-nginxdirectory
cd hello-kubernetes/kind-nginx- Deploy the
hello-nginxapplication to your local cluster using the following command
kubectl create -f nginx.yaml- Verify that the application is running by accessing it from your web browser at http://:.
To obtain the node internal IP address, you can run the following command:
kubectl get nodes -o wideThis will display the internal IP address of the Kubernetes node(s) in your cluster. Look for the IP address of the node where the Nginx deployment is running.
To obtain the exposed Nginx service port, you can run the following command:
kubectl get servicesThis will display the list of services running in your cluster. Look for the nginx-service service and note the value under the PORT(S) column for the http port. This is the exposed Nginx service port.
Once you have obtained the node internal IP address and the exposed Nginx service port, replace <node-internal-ip> and <exposed-nginx-service-port> in the URL with the respective values and enter the URL into your web browser to access the Nginx web server.
- Deleting Your Deployment
When you're finished testing the
hello-nginxdeplyment, you can delete it and free up resources using the following command
kubectl delete deployment hello-nginxThis project is licensed under the MIT License.
