Prerequisites

• For local installations you need an entry in /etc/hosts like "127.0.0.1 kind.local"
• Docker Desktop, Terraform and latest kubectl need to be installed, k9s is optional but might help
• For https to work you need to import the certificate from your browser's certificate warning
• Corporate Proxies usually need to be deactivated as they often block image downloading

Rancher Desktop

• While everything seems to work inside Rancher, you'll have to disable any already enabled Kubernetes inside the Settings

Basic Installation

• Go to "/terraform/server/kind"
• ./stack init
• in .values you may choose between apsix or nginx,
  • apisix also needs the oidc namespace installed (terraform apply inside infra/oidc)

Welcome

• And that's basically it just navigate to https://kind.local/welcome/ and you see the Welcome Page
• Password is currently just admin/admin

Additional Modules

• Additional modules can the be installed with terraform by going into the specific terraform folder (e.g. terraform/example)
• And then just execute terraform apply (default server is kind)

Uninstall

• Go to "/terraform/server/kind"
• ./stack prune => this will eradicate everything

Helm Specific (deprecated)

• To start specific applications change to the folder representing the namespace (e.g. helm/templates/example/spring)
• And do "./stack up"
• To shut everything down do "./stack down"
• In case you need a localhost direct connection to your pod do "./stack proxy" (e.g. connecting with a frontend)
