kindev

Crossplane development environment using kind (Kubernetes-in-Docker).

Requirements

• kubectl
• helm v3
• go (or alternatively kind)
• docker

Getting started

Short version:

make vshnpostgresql

This will

1. Install a local Kubernetes cluster with kubernetes-in-docker (kind)
2. Install Crossplane Helm chart
3. Install Secrets Generator Helm chart (for providing random passwords)
4. Install StackGres Operator
5. Install Prometheus Operator and a Prometheus instance with AlertManager

To uninstall the cluster:

make clean

Access resources on the kind cluster

The kind cluster features an ingress controller, that listens on :8088.

Currently following apps are configured to use the ingress:

• Promethues: http://prometheus.127.0.0.1.nip.io:8088/
• Alertmanager: http://alertmanager.127.0.0.1.nip.io:8088/
• Minio: http://minio.127.0.0.1.nip.io:8088/
• Komoplane (make komoplane-setup): http://komoplane.127.0.0.1.nip.io:8088/

For minio access from the localhost just use this alias:

mc alias set localnip http://minio.127.0.0.1.nip.io:8088 minioadmin minioadmin

Minio console access: http://minio-gui.127.0.0.1.nip.io:8088

Integration into other projects

kindev is intended to be used by Crossplane providers as a developement and test environment. It can be tied into other projects via a git submodule.

Run inside the git repository of your project:

git submodule add https://github.com/vshn/kindev.git

It is built to work in CI/CD environments. This is an example GitHub workflow to show kindev usage in your project.
