requirements

go version v1.17.9+
docker version 17.03+
kubectl version v1.11.3+
access to a Kubernetes v1.11.3+ cluster (I highly suggest using kind to set up your own local cluster, it’s very easy to use!).

setup

curl -L -o kubebuilder https://go.kubebuilder.io/dl/latest/$(go env GOOS)/$(go env GOARCH) && \
  chmod +x kubebuilder && mv kubebuilder /usr/local/bin/

asdf plugin add kubebuilder
asdf install

init our repo (step-1)

kubebuilder init --domain webofmars.com --repo webofmars.com/pizza

create CRDs (step 2)

kubebuilder create api --group pizza --version v1 --kind Pizza
go mod tidy
make generate

customize CRDs (step 3)

edit the file api/v1/pizza_types.go

customize the controller (step 4)

edit the file controllers/pizza_controller.go and inseert your own logic for a pizza

generate the manifests (step 5)

make manifests

install the CRDs (step 6)

NB: you need a working kubectl connected to your dev cluster in order to test it.

make install
kubectl get crds

run the controller (step 7)

Run the controller locally (it can later be packaged through helm or other means and run in a the kubernetes cluster).

make run

create your first pizza (step 8)

edit file config/samples/pizza_v1_pizza.yaml to match a valid pizza spec as defined in pizza_types.go

kubectl apply -f config/samples/pizza_v1_pizza.yaml

after a while you should see the controller reconcile loop pass over the pizza object and modify it if you instructed to do so in the controller (check step 4 code)
