Deploy a DSS instance locally on Minikube

This section provide instructions to prepare a local minikube cluster.

Minikube is going to take care of most of the work by spawning a local kubernetes cluster.

Getting started

Prerequisites

In addition to the general infrastructure prerequisites, download & install the following tools to your workstation:

1. Install minikube (First step only).

Create a new minikube cluster

1. Run minikube start -p dss-local-cluster to create a new cluster.
2. Run minikube tunnel -p dss-local-cluster and keep it running to expose LoadBalancer services.

If needed, you can change the name of the cluster (dss-local-cluster in this documentation) as needed. You may also deploy multiple cluster at the same time, using different names.

Access to the cluster

Minikube provide a UI, should you want to keep track of deployment and/or inspect the cluster. To start it, use the following command:

1. minikube dashboard -p dss-local-cluster

You can also use any other tool as needed. You can switch to the cluster's context by using the following command:

1. kubectl config use-context dss-local-cluster
