Polyflix Devkit

This repository contains configurations and scripts required to empower a Polyflix developer environment (a.k.a, devkit). It allow maintainers and contributors to easily run and develop the platform on a Kubernetes cluster, without having to worry about the deployment and configuration steps.

Limitations

Currently, the devkit can only be used on a Unix based operating system, such as Ubuntu, Debian or MacOS.

When dealing with local engine for the Kubernetes cluster, performance may be considerably decreased than a cloud-provider based Kubernetes cluster such as openstack, because of the underlying usage of k3d.

Requirements

• kubectl
• helm
• Helmfile
• Helm-diff
• Terraform
• k3d (optional, only when dealing with local engine)
• devspace (optional, only for Kubernetes development)

For people that are interested about running the devkit using the openstack engine, you will need to have a credentials file.

Usage

To start a new devkit, run :

# valid engines are: local, openstack
./devkit.sh start <engine>

Note: when using the openstack engine, source the credentials file to allow Terraform to auto-configure the provider.

source /path/to/credentials.rc

To stop it (be careful, all data will be lost !), run :

# valid engines are: local, openstack
./devkit.sh stop <engine>

Once done, the Polyflix API should be accessible on the following URL: http://polyflix.local/api. You only need to run the front-end locally, by using the devkit environment. Please refer to the front-end documentation for more information.

Below are the applications that are exposed :

• http://kibana.polyflix.local
• http://keto.polyflix.local
• http://keycloak
• http://minio
• http://console.minio.polyflix.local
• http://polyflix.local/api

Develop inside Kubernetes

To make your developer journey for Polyflix easier, you can add an alias to the devspace command to always use the good devkit cluster :

echo "alias devspace=\"KUBECONFIG=/absolute/path/to/devkit/outputs/k8s.yml\" devspace" >> ~/.zshrc

Every project has a devspace.yaml file. To enable development in the cluster, just run the command :

devspace dev

This will open a remote shell inside a devspace pod in the cluster. You can now use your commands to run the project, such as mvn spring-boot:run or npm start.

To reset the service to the default image, exit the remote shell and run :

devspace purge
