Getting started with Kubernetes

This tutorial will guide you through the steps needed to install and run ionflow using Docker.

Step 1. Access a Kubernetes cluster

Before you can run Ionflow using Kubernetes, you will need access to a Kubernetes cluster. If you do not have access to a cluster, you can create one using the kubeadm tool or by using a cloud provider's managed Kubernetes service.

Once you have access to a cluster, you can verify that it is running by running the following command:

kubectl get nodes

This should return a list of the nodes in the cluster, indicating that it is up and running.

Step 2. Install Ionflow Using The All-In-One Manifest

To install Ionflow using Kubernetes, you will need to download the all-in-one manifest file from the Ionflow repository on GitHub. This file contains all the necessary Kubernetes resources for running the Ionflow server.

First, download the manifest file using the following command:

wget https://github.com/kuberkai/ionflow/releases/download/ionflow-server%2Fv0.6.2/ionflow-server-install.yaml

Next, use the kubectl command to apply the manifest to your Kubernetes cluster. This will create all the necessary resources for running the Ionflow server, including a deployment, service, and ingress resource:

kubectl apply -f ionflow-server-install.yaml

Once the resources have been created, you can use the kubectl command to verify that the Ionflow server is running and accessible:

kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/part-of=ionflow

This should return a list of the pods, including the Ionflow server pod.
