Setup Instructions

1. Clone this repo onto your machine.

2. Install Docker.

3. Install Kind. Kind is a Kubernetes bootstrapping tool that would run kubernetes clusters for you in Docker container.

4. To start kubernester cluster:

kind create cluster

4. For checking the running nodes:

kubectl get no

5. For running the app:

   5.1

   kubect apply -f kubernetes/namespace.yaml
   

   5.2

   kubect apply -f kubernetes/service.yaml
   

   5.3

   kubect apply -f kubernetes/deploy.yaml
   

For checking the running application:

kubectl get all -n=sandbox

6. For viewing the application in your browser:

kubectl port-fowrard service/techtrends 3111:4111 -n=sandbox

Note: In place of 3111 your can give any port of your choice. Read more about it at:
https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/
https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/port-forward-access-application-cluster/

Example:

kubectl port-fowrard service/techtrends <your-desired-port>:4111 -n=sandbox

7. Type: localhost:3111 or localhost:<your-desired-port> in your browser and your should be able to access the application.

Thats all!! 😁 🙌

Note: In place of kind your can use any other bootstrapping tools like minikube, k3d, Vagrant with Virtual Box, etc. But the setup instructions would be same from step 5.
