Steps

0. To create a cluster

minikube start --vm-driver=hyperkit

1. kubectl apply -f mongo-secret.yaml
2. kubectl get secret

NAME                  TYPE                                  DATA   AGE
default-token-prpr6   kubernetes.io/service-account-token   3      3h44m
mongodb-secret        Opaque                                2      8s

3. kubectl apply -f mongodb-deployment.yaml

4. kubectl get all

5. kubectl get pod

   kubectl get pod --watch

   kubectl describe pod

6. kubectl get pod

NAME                                 READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
mongodb-deployment-8f6675bc5-5k5dl   1/1     Running   0          3m4s

Create an internal service

Allow you to put multiple documents in 1 file --- denote separation of documents Put Deployment & Service in 1 file because they belong together

kubectl apply -f mongodb-deployment.yaml

kubectl get service

NAME              TYPE        CLUSTER-IP     EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)     AGE
kubernetes        ClusterIP   10.96.0.1      <none>        443/TCP     4h14m
mongodb-service   ClusterIP   10.97.167.20   <none>        27017/TCP   11s

kubectl describe service mongodb-service

Name:              mongodb-service
Namespace:         default
Labels:            <none>
Annotations:       kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration:
                     {"apiVersion":"v1","kind":"Service","metadata":{"annotations":{},"name":"mongodb-service","namespace":"default"},"spec":{"ports":[{"port":...
Selector:          app=mongodb
Type:              ClusterIP
IP:                10.97.167.20
Port:              <unset>  27017/TCP
TargetPort:        27017/TCP
Endpoints:         172.17.0.4:27017
Session Affinity:  None
Events:            <none>

IP address of the Pod = 172.17.0.4 and port is 27017 where the app is listening to

kubectl get pod -o wide

kubectl get all -> to show ALL components

kubectl get all | grep mongodb -> to filter by monddb

Need to tell mongoexpress which database to connect? MongoDB Address/Internal Service

which credentials to authenticate?

kubectl apply -f mongo-configmap.yaml

kubectl apply -f mongoexpress-deployment.yaml

kubectl get pod

kubectl logs mongo-express-78fcf796b8-9glzp

Waiting for mongodb-service:27017...
Welcome to mongo-express
------------------------


Mongo Express server listening at http://0.0.0.0:8081
Server is open to allow connections from anyone (0.0.0.0)
basicAuth credentials are "admin:pass", it is recommended you change this in your config.js!
Database connected
Admin Database connected

To access mongo express from a browser, we need a external service Add the service to the mongoexpress-deployment.yaml How to make it an External Service?

• type: "LoadBalancer" ..assigns service an external IP address and so accepts external requests

• nodePort: Port where the external IP address will be opened It is the Port you put in the browser to access this service must be between 30000 - 32767

kubectl get service

NAME                    TYPE           CLUSTER-IP     EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)          AGE
kubernetes              ClusterIP      10.96.0.1      <none>        443/TCP          7h32m
mongo-express-service   LoadBalancer   10.96.62.211   <pending>     8081:30000/TCP   7m9s
mongodb-service         ClusterIP      10.97.167.20   <none>        27017/TCP        3h18m

Internal Service or Cluster IP is DEFAULT Cluster IP will give the service an internal IP address which is 10.97.xx LoadBalancer will also give the service an internal IP address and in additional an external IP

minikube service mongo-express-service to access the external IP address

To setup namespace

brew install kubectx

kubens

How to install ingress controller in minikube

minikube addons enable ingress

automatically starts the K8s Nginx implementation of Ingress Controller

kubectl get pod -n kube-system You will see the Nginx ingress controller running in your cluster
