devctl-plugin-kind

A plugin for SplitmediaLabs' monorepo developer devctl toolkit that deploys services into a kubernetes kind developer cluster, instead of using docker-compose.

Prerequisites

Since the devctl kind:init commands haven't been updated yet, you'll have to install all of the dependencies yourself. This may change the future.

• gcloud: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/downloads-interactive
• kubectl: once gcloud is installed, you can do gcloud components install kubectl
• kind: https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/
• helm2: IMPORTANT! Since at SML we use helm2 exclusively for now, I only implemented with helm 2 for now. Will definitely change in the future. https://v2.helm.sh/docs/using_helm/#installing-helm

How to use

Install devctl if you haven't yet. Some changes in my forked version have yet to be pulled into the SML one:

yarn global add @nicodoggie/devctl

Install @nicodoggie/devctl-plugin-kind like this:

yarn global add devctl-plugin-kind@npm:@nicodoggie/devctl-plugin-kind

Then, in a properly-configured repository, run devctl kind:up to create a kind cluster.

To deploy services, run devctl kind:switch

Currently, the init command is incomplete, and examples aren't up yet. I'll rectify that in a future commit.
