Usage with minikube

assuming you installed the packages git, docker, minikube and virtualbox here...

First of all start minikube on your machine:

minikube start

[troubleshoot] If you get an error message along th lines of 'The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded.' - then you have the same issue i had. to solve this you need to install the propper linux kernel host modules package. Here an example for Manjaro: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/installing-virtualbox-kernel-modules/6999

You can always get an overview and see what's going on with your minikube:

minikube dashboard

[troubleshoot] now again you might run into trouble with an error like 'kubectl could not be found on your path.' In this case run the following command:

curl -Lo kubectl https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.10.0/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl && chmod +x kubectl && sudo cp kubectl /usr/local/bin/ && rm kubectl

From now on stay in your favorite work directory. First let's clone the necessary sources:

git clone https://github.com/Human-Connection/Nitro-Backend.git
git clone https://github.com/Human-Connection/Nitro-Web.git

Build Docker images, using the Minikube Docker daemon:

eval $(minikube docker-env)
docker build -t humanconnection/backend:latest Nitro-Backend/
docker build -t humanconnection/neo4j:latest -f Nitro-Backend/Dockerfile.neo4j Nitro-Backend/

check that the image is in Minikube’s Docker registry:

minikube ssh docker images 

Now change into directory Nitro-Backend/kubernetes and create services and deployments:

cd kubernetes

kubectl create -f neo4j-deployment.yaml,neo4j-data-persistentvolumeclaim.yaml,backend-deployment.yaml,neo4j-service.json,backend-service.json

You can see the backend in action with:

minikube service backend
