Indiv Runner

Forwards ports from all services and sets local environment variables

Forwards services running in a Kubernetes cluster to a local environment based off a ConfigMap (designed with environment variables). Typical use-case is spinning up a service that depends on other microservices without having to run all of them locally.

Warning: We will at some point make this useful for others than Indiv, but right now, we are focusing on us. There are things we need to generalized before it's ready for prime-time as an Open Source project. Please share your thoughts in Github issues!

---

Built to run either as a command-line utility or an NPM package to combine with any current build system.

• Few dependencies (no need to install other tools, everything is in one package)
• Simple API

Getting Started

Currently, the indiv-runner is somewhat opinionated. We don't support having your own name for the ConfigMap – and we only have a few test cases on how we parse URIs. But as long as you use the same style ConfigMap Indiv do, you're off to the races (or if you go ahead and open PRs, of course!).

We have a solid example on how to use the runner on an mono-repository you should check out!

See an example of the required ConfigMap below.

yarn add @indivorg/runner

PS: You can also run as command-line utility, like so: npx @indivorg/runner --help

▶ npx @indivorg/runner --help
npx: installed 419 in 15.481s
Usage: indiv-runner [options]

port-forwards all services, creates environment file and starts the service

Options:
  -r, --command <command>  a command to run after runner has started e.g. yarn run dev
  -h, --help               display help for command
