This project tries to ease the creation of a local Kubernetes environment, including all the awesome devops tools you can possibly need. It should be as easy as a "./startup.sh" to get you up and running and a "k3d delete --name dev" to clean up again.

If anything you like is missing, hit me up! I love learning new awesome tools!

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

What things you need to install the software and how to install them:

Docker
Dialog (If you are lazy, like me)

What this script was tested on:

WSL (Frequently, since this is my main driver for development-stuff)
Ubuntu
MacOS 10.15

What it hopefully runs on one day:

Git Bash/MinGW (This one is pretty hard to work with actually. It randomly dislikes rm'ing stuff and borks the permissions so a relog is needed)

Edit startup.sh and add/remove stuff you need/want in

#Possible Single Values: tekton|rio|drone|concourse|argocd
CI="tekton"

#Possible Single Values: traefik|traefik2|nginx|istio|none
INGRESS="traefik2"

#Possible values: (Spaced-Delimited Multiple possible): prometheus grafana jaeger registry k8s-dashboard rio-dashboard istio
TOOLS="prometheus grafana jaeger registry k8s-dashboard"

And fire it up with

./startup.sh

For new-comers to linux, or just lazy people like me, install dialog with the package-manager of your choice and run

./startup_dialog.sh

After the installation your console should tell you the different URLs you should know about, if I didn't miss anything.

• Istio Gateway Stuff To be honest, I don't fully understand how the Istio Ingress works yet, it just seems much more complicated than traefik/nginx (it's still envoy) which would explain it's brutal amounts of configuration/documentation. I will try to fix the istio ingresses as soon as I get a grasp on how it works
• Concourse I want to blame it on concourse, since they don't have an explicit option to configure a proxypath/context-path, but that could be on me too. Documentation get's tough to read after a few hours of struggling and I could have easily missed it too.
• Sample Pipelines for the CD Tools Not really a priority as of now, but it would be a nice to have if there were easy to copy files/descriptors for the various CD tools

• Base:
  • k3d - The Tool used to deploy kubernetes
  • rancher - Run Kubernetes Everywhere with Rancher
• CD:
  • TektonCD - The preferred tool to run your ci/cd
  • Tekton Dashboard - Dashboard for Tekton Pipelines
  • Concourse CI - An amazing Open Source continuous Thing-Doer
  • rancher rio - The Application Deployment Engine for Kubernetes
  • argocd - Declarative GitOps CD for Kubernetes
• Ingress:
  • NGINX - Production-Grade Ingress Controller for Kubernetes
  • Traefik - My favorite Ingress Controller and proxy
  • Istio - The defacto standard in terms of Service-Mesh
• Tools:
  • Grafana - Awesome Visualization of Prometheus Data
  • Prometheus - The Standard Metric Collector
  • Jaeger - An open source, end-to-end distributed tracing tool
  • k8s-dashboard - A general purpose, web-based UI for Kubernetes clusters
  • MinIO - High Performance, Kubernetes Native Object Storage
• DBs:
  • Apache Cassandra - Manage massive amounts of data, fast, without losing sleep
• Hopefully even more in the future!
