| 7 | + How to setup Dapr on a KiND cluster. |
| 8 | +--- |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +# Set up a KiND cluster |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Prerequisites |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/) |
| 15 | +- [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/) |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +> Note: For Windows, enable Virtualization in BIOS and [install Hyper-V](https://docs.microsoft.com/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/enable-hyper-v) |
| 18 | +
|
| 19 | +## Install and configure KiND |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Make sure you follow one of the [Installation](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start) options for KiND. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +In case you are using Docker Desktop, double-check that you have performed the recommended [settings](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start#settings-for-docker-desktop) (4 CPUs and 8 GiB of RAM available to Docker Engine). |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Configure and create the KiND cluster |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +1. Create a file named `kind-cluster-config.yaml`, and paste the following: |
| 28 | +```yaml |
| 29 | +kind: Cluster |
| 30 | +apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4 |
| 31 | +nodes: |
| 32 | +- role: control-plane |
| 33 | + kubeadmConfigPatches: |
| 34 | + - | |
| 35 | + kind: InitConfiguration |
| 36 | + nodeRegistration: |
| 37 | + kubeletExtraArgs: |
| 38 | + node-labels: "ingress-ready=true" |
| 39 | + extraPortMappings: |
| 40 | + - containerPort: 80 |
| 41 | + hostPort: 8081 |
| 42 | + protocol: TCP |
| 43 | + - containerPort: 443 |
| 44 | + hostPort: 8443 |
| 45 | + protocol: TCP |
| 46 | +- role: worker |
| 47 | +- role: worker |
| 48 | +``` |
| 49 | +
|
| 50 | +This is going to request KiND to spin up a kubernetes cluster comprised of a control plane and two worker nodes. It also allows for future setup of ingresses and exposes container ports to the host machine. |
| 51 | +
|
| 52 | +2. Run the `kind create cluster` providing the cluster configuration file: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +```bash |
| 55 | +kind create cluster --config kind-cluster-config.yaml |
| 56 | +``` |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +Wait until the cluster is created, the output should look like this: |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +```md |
| 61 | +Creating cluster "kind" ... |
| 62 | + ✓ Ensuring node image (kindest/node:v1.21.1) 🖼 |
| 63 | + ✓ Preparing nodes 📦 📦 📦 |
| 64 | + ✓ Writing configuration 📜 |
| 65 | + ✓ Starting control-plane 🕹️ |
| 66 | + ✓ Installing CNI 🔌 |
| 67 | + ✓ Installing StorageClass 💾 |
| 68 | + ✓ Joining worker nodes 🚜 |
| 69 | +Set kubectl context to "kind-kind" |
| 70 | +You can now use your cluster with: |
| 71 | +
|
| 72 | +kubectl cluster-info --context kind-kind |
| 73 | +
|
| 74 | +Thanks for using kind! 😊 |
| 75 | +``` |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +## Dapr |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +1. Initialize Dapr: |
| 80 | +```bash |
| 81 | +dapr init --kubernetes |
| 82 | +``` |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +Once Dapr finishes initializing its core components are ready to be used on the cluster. |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +To verify the status of these components run: |
| 87 | +```bash |
| 88 | +dapr status -k |
| 89 | +``` |
| 90 | +the output should look like this: |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +```md |
| 93 | + NAME NAMESPACE HEALTHY STATUS REPLICAS VERSION AGE CREATED |
| 94 | + dapr-sentry dapr-system True Running 1 1.5.1 53s 2021-12-10 09:27.17 |
| 95 | + dapr-operator dapr-system True Running 1 1.5.1 53s 2021-12-10 09:27.17 |
| 96 | + dapr-sidecar-injector dapr-system True Running 1 1.5.1 53s 2021-12-10 09:27.17 |
| 97 | + dapr-dashboard dapr-system True Running 1 0.9.0 53s 2021-12-10 09:27.17 |
| 98 | + dapr-placement-server dapr-system True Running 1 1.5.1 52s 2021-12-10 09:27.18 |
| 99 | +``` |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +2. Forward a port to [Dapr dashboard](https://docs.dapr.io/reference/cli/dapr-dashboard/): |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +```bash |
| 104 | +dapr dashboard -k -p 9999 |
| 105 | +``` |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +So that you can validate that the setup finished successfully by navigating to [http://localhost:9999](http://localhost:9999). |
