Requirements

• bash, jq, nc
• Kubernetes (e.g. Docker Desktop with Kubernetes enabled)
• kubectl
• helm 3.0+
• wscat

Setup

The setup.sh script:

• installs Zilla to the Kubernetes cluster with helm and waits for the pod to start up
• starts port forwarding

./setup.sh

output:

+ ZILLA_CHART=oci://ghcr.io/aklivity/charts/zilla
+ helm upgrade --install zilla-ws-echo oci://ghcr.io/aklivity/charts/zilla --namespace zilla-ws-echo --create-namespace --wait [...]
NAME: zilla-ws-echo
LAST DEPLOYED: [...]
NAMESPACE: zilla-ws-echo
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
NOTES:
Zilla has been installed.
[...]
+ nc -z localhost 7114
+ kubectl port-forward --namespace zilla-ws-echo service/zilla 7114 7143
+ sleep 1
+ nc -z localhost 7114
Connection to localhost port 7114 [tcp/http-alt] succeeded!

Install wscat

npm install wscat -g

Verify behavior

wscat -c ws://localhost:7114/ -s echo

Type a Hello, world message and press enter.

output:

Connected (press CTRL+C to quit)
> Hello, world
< Hello, world

wscat -c wss://localhost:7143/ --ca test-ca.crt -s echo

Type a Hello, world message and press enter.

output:

Connected (press CTRL+C to quit)
> Hello, world
< Hello, world

Teardown

The teardown.sh script stops port forwarding, uninstalls Zilla and deletes the namespace.

./teardown.sh

output:

+ pgrep kubectl
99999
+ killall kubectl
+ helm uninstall zilla-ws-echo --namespace zilla-ws-echo
release "zilla-ws-echo" uninstalled
+ kubectl delete namespace zilla-ws-echo
namespace "zilla-ws-echo" deleted
