Kubernetes manifests for deploying Book-em

1 Getting started

1.1 Installing the required tools

(All of these tools should be installed inside Linux)

You will need:

• minikube
• kubectl
• helm

1.2 Installing recommended tools

• helmfile:

helm plugin install https://github.com/databus23/helm-diff
curl -LO https://github.com/helmfile/helmfile/releases/download/v1.1.7/helmfile_1.1.7_linux_amd64.tar.gz
tar -xzf helmfile_1.1.7_linux_amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv helmfile /usr/local/bin/

1.3 Installing tools if you're using WSL2

• socat:

sudo apt install socat

2 Deploying the infrastructure

1. Make sure to start the local cluster:

   minikube start
   
   # If you haven't, enable ingress.
   minikube addons enable ingress

2. The easiest way to deploy the whole infrastructure is using helmfile:

   helmfile apply

3. If you're using WSL2, establish a connection between your Windows host and the WSL guest:

   ./socat.sh

4. Add the hostname to your hosts file:

   • If you're on windows:

   # C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts
   
   127.0.0.1 bookem.local
   127.0.0.1 api.bookem.local
   127.0.0.1 db.bookem.local
   127.0.0.1 jaeger.bookem.local
   127.0.0.1 grafana.bookem.local

   • If you're on Linux:

   # /etc/hosts
   
   127.0.0.1 bookem.local api.bookem.local db.bookem.local jaeger.bookem.local grafana.bookem.local
