Getting started

First, we will need to set few DNS records in /etc/hosts file to be able access the cluster components

127.0.0.1 app.kubernetes.local
127.0.0.1 app-tracing.kubernetes.local
127.0.0.1 grafana.kubernetes.local
127.0.0.1 prometheus.kubernetes.local
127.0.0.1 traefik.kubernetes.local
127.0.0.1 weave-scope.kubernetes.local
127.0.0.1 elasticsearch.kubernetes.local
127.0.0.1 kibana.kubernetes.local
127.0.0.1 argo.kubernetes.local
127.0.0.1 jaeger.kubernetes.local
127.0.0.1 openfaas.kubernetes.local
127.0.0.1 bookinfo-app.kubernetes.local
127.0.0.1 kiali.kubernetes.local

After setting up the DNS records, you can run the cluster by running :

./start

Then, we will need to assign a local IP adrress to the ingress controller to be able interact with the cluster components.

This can be done by running :

minikube tunnel 

To observe the cluster state, open another terminal and run :

minikube dashboard

To get the ArgoCd web-ui password (for admin user) , run :

kubectl get pods -n cd -l app.kubernetes.io/name=argocd-server -o name | cut -d'/' -f 2

OpenFaas UI credentials:

User: admin
