Kubernetes Playground

This repository showcases a Kubernetes implementation that utilizes Docker files and Docker Compose for the React and Node.js applications, alongside Kubernetes manifest files stored in a dedicated k8s folder for streamlined deployment and orchestration.

Running the app via docker-compose

Prerequisite: Docker

1. Navigate to apps directory and execute the following command.

   docker-compose up -d

2. You can access the web app via http://localhost:3000

3. Clicking on one of the services will trigger the display of its description..

4. In case an error message appears when clicking on a service, please verify the server's port number or modify the VITE_API_URL environment variable in client's docker file.

   

Running the app using Kubernetes

Prerequisite: Minikube, kubectl

1. Navigate to k8s directory and execute the following command.

   # make sure shell script is executable
   chmod +x ./deploy.sh
   
   # run minikube tunnel on another terminal to expose the load balancer external ip
   minkikube tunnel
   
   # deploy the application
   ./deploy.sh
   
   # get the service ip
   kubectl get svc

2. The app can be accessed by using <cloud-client_external-ip>:<port>, For instance: 127.0.0.1:3000

3. You should see the app displayed similarly to the images above.

4. To delete the apps execute the following command.

   chomd +x ./delete.sh && ./delete.sh
