Flux non-production clusters

Represents the cluster state for non-production clusters

Steps

Install Flux2

Set the following environment variables:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=<your-token>
export GITHUB_USER=<your-username>

Create your dev cluster using Cluster API (see *****) or locally using kind:

kind create cluster --name=kubecoins-dev

Check Flux2 pre-reqs:

flux check --pre

Bootstrap Flux for dev (if using CAPI change the context name):

flux bootstrap github \
    --context=kind-kubecoins-dev \
    --owner=${GITHUB_USER} \
    --repository=flux-nonprod-clusters \
    --branch=main \
    --personal \
    --path=clusters/dev

Then setup the cluster for staging using CAPI or kind:

kind create cluster --name=kubecoins-staging

flux bootstrap github \
    --context=kind-kubecoins-staging \
    --owner=${GITHUB_USER} \
    --repository=flux-nonprod-clusters \
    --branch=main \
    --personal \
    --path=clusters/staging
