Ready for review!

I didn't do a deep review here.
I saw sometimes lots of "kubectl --context minikube" and I'm not sure if those commands still work with k8s-in-a-box providers other than minikube? Is the --context flag even required if we have a dedicated kubeconfig file?

Interesting, at least with minikube and k3d it seems to work fine. The tutorial isn't using a kubeconfig file, but we could indeed.

I would recommend doing that. Having a dedicated kubeconfig ensures no one needs to modify their existing ones and then throwing away the changes again after completing the tutorial.

LGTM overall.

However, when I gave it a test run locally I found that the setup scripts don't work out of the box on my machine (Btrfs-on-LUKS), see the inline comments on the respective shell scripts.

Possibly similar issues exist for the kind and microk8s scripts.

I also added some notes on a simplified way to setup the Commodore working directory and the component repo's git remote for component development.

At least Minikube and K3d both overwrite the local ~/.kube/config upon start, and they remove their respective entries when finished. I suggest using this approach for the moment and update later with a kubeconfig file strategy in a separate PR.

Having closed all conversations, waiting for @tobru 's approval and we can merge this.
