local-k8s-setup

Utility scripts I use to setup a local Kubernetes cluster by using Kind and Podman with a local registry and the Nginx ingress controller deployed in the cluster.

The nginx ingress controller is a modified version of the YAML you can find here: it exposes port 8080 for http and 8443 for https since it runs on unprivileged Podman and cannot bind to 80 and 443.

Dependencies

• podman
• jq
• kind
• kubectl

Tested on MacOS Ventura 13.4.1, Podman 4.5.1, kind 0.20.0

Usage

1. Make sure the dependencies are installed on your system.
2. chmod the script using the following command:

chmod +x ./setup-kind-with-registry.sh

then you can use the Makefile to bring up the environment

make up

and to bring it down

make down

The local registry will be seen as "kind-registry:5000" from inside the cluster.
