Local Internal Developer Platform using Kratix

This sets up a local Kubernetes cluster using KinD (Kubernetes in Docker) and installs ArgoCD and uses it to sync the following applications onto the cluster:

Core Services:

• argocd - deployment tool
• cert-manager - certificates
• ingress-nginx - ingress reverse proxy
• kratix-platform
  • gitea
    • metallb - for exposing git server to
• kratix worker examples

Applications:

• emojivoto sample application
• sample application that requests Kratix promises

The goal is to have a Platform and a Worker Kubernetes cluster running and the source of truth being this GitHub repository. Kratix will be used as a platform to deploy custom resources onto the worker cluster.

This is based on the Kratix Quickstart tutorial.

Getting Started

• Make sure you have KinD installed:

  brew install kind

• Create the KinD clusters from the config:

  kind create cluster --config ./kind/cluster-platform.yaml
  kind create cluster --config ./kind/cluster-worker.yaml

• Install ArgoCD using kustomize so it can fetch all the other applications (Run it twice because CRDs are installed the first time)

  kubectl --context kind-platform apply -k ./gitops-repo/argocd/platform
  kubectl --context kind-platform apply -k ./gitops-repo/argocd/platform
  kubectl --context kind-worker apply -k ./gitops-repo/argocd/worker
  kubectl --context kind-worker apply -k ./gitops-repo/argocd/worker

• You can observe the Kratix Platform commiting to the local Git Server by opening the URL: https://0.0.0.0:8333/
