How to install Kriten on your macbook

Install kubectl: Install and Set Up kubectl on macOS

Install Helm: Installing Helm

Install Docker Desktop: Install Docker Desktop on Mac

In Docker Desktop settings, enable Kubernetes

When Docker Desktop has restarted, you should have a config file in $HOME/.kube

Check that you have the docker-desktop context and switch to it, and check kubectl is working:

kubectl config get-contexts
kubectl config use-context docker-desktop
Switched to context "docker-desktop".

kubectl get nodes
NAME             STATUS   ROLES           AGE    VERSION
docker-desktop   Ready    control-plane   7m4s   v1.32.2

Add the Kriten helm repo:

helm repo add kriten https://kriten-io.github.io/kriten-charts/
helm repo update

Add nodeports:

kubectl apply -n kriten -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:  
  name: kriten-nodeport
spec:
  selector:    
    app: kriten
  type: NodePort
  ports:  
  - name: http
    port: 80
    targetPort: 8080
    nodePort: 30040
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:  
  name: kriten-frontend-nodeport
spec:
  selector:    
    app: kriten-frontend
  type: NodePort
  ports:  
  - name: http
    port: 80
    targetPort: 80
    nodePort: 30050
EOF

Set an environment variable to the IP address of your macbook

export IP_ADDRESS=<your_ip_address>

Use helm to install Kriten and the frontend.

helm install kriten kriten/kriten \
--set frontend.enabled=true \
--set frontend.backendAddress=$IP_ADDRESS':30040'  \
--set frontend.image.repository=kubecodeio/kriten-frontend \
--set frontend.image.tag="latest" \
--namespace kriten --create-namespace

You should now be able to connect to the Kriten API:

curl -c ./token.txt -X POST 'http://'$IP_ADDRESS':30040/api/v1/login' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
  "username": "root",
  "password": "root",
  "provider": "local"
}' 

Which should return a token:

{"token":"eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VybmFtZSI6InJvb3QiLCJ1c2VyX2lkIjoiODJkOTg4NGItZmIxZC00MmQ4LTgxM2MtZTJlYjY1ZDllYmMzIiwicHJvdmlkZXIiOiJsb2NhbCIsImV4cCI6MTc0MTQ1OTkwMn0.zerwoMCIYHM4qE5k3h2rw9chwtWhrr2568zh2_1x5SY"}

You should now be able to browse to "http://"$IP_ADDRESS":30050".

Happy Kriten-ing
