1. Outside the Cluster

This is the easiest way to run this project. Provided you have the kubeconfig file in your local.

The code in looks for the file at the path "HOME"/.kube/config

All you have to do after this is:

  • Clone the repo
  • Open a terminal in the dir
  • Run this:
go mod tidy && go run k8-api
  • API will be running at localhost:8000 now.

The project is up and running🔥!


2. Inside the Cluster

Run this command ✨: 

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kitarp29/kube-ez/main/yamls/one-to-rule-them-all.yaml && sleep 5 && kubectl port-forward kube-ez 8000:8000

API will be running at localhost:8000 now

P.S.: I am using the sleep command to give the pod some time to start. You can change it if you want.

---OR---

If you want to do a custom installation. Follow the steps below:

  • Service Account:

We need to make a custom service account to be able to interact with the cluster. We will use this service account in our pod on which we will run the API.
Command to make custom a service account: 

  kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
  apiVersion: v1
  kind: ServiceAccount
  metadata:
    name: <Your-Custom-Name>
  EOF

We can also use the default service account. But it is not recommended.

  • Cluster Role:

We need to make a custom cluster role to be able to interact with the cluster. We will use this cluster role to bind to our Service Account. The role should have permission to all the resources in order for the project to run smoothly. I would advise you not to make any role and use the cluster-admin role directly. Still, if you want to create a custom role, you can do so. Refer Here

  • Cluster Role Binding:

We will bind the Service Account to the Cluster Role we just created. To do so the commands needed are:

kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
  name: <your-custom-name>
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
  name: <Name-of-your-serviceaccount> 
  namespace: default
roleRef:
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: cluster-admin
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
EOF
  • Deploying the Pod

This is it! Now that we have the service account and the cluster role binding, we can deploy the pod. We can use this command to deploy the pod:

kubectl apply -f - <<EOF 
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: <your-custom-name>
spec:
  serviceAccount: <Name-of-your-serviceaccount> 
  containers:
  - name: <your-custom-name>
    image: kitarp29/k8s-api:9.0
    ports:
    - containerPort: 8000
EOF
  • Port-forward:

Now that we have the pod deployed, we can use the port-forward command to access the pod. Expose a port of the pod to the local machine. To do so, we can use the following command:

kubectl port-forward <your-pod-name> 8000:8000

API will be running at localhost:8000 now.

The project is up and running🔥!

Now that the Project is up and running for you. You can learn how to use the API from the API Docs.

There are multiple endpoints in the API. You can find all the endpoints in the API Docs

Moreover you can find the Postman Collections Here 📮
