microservices-boilerplate

Required Installs

1. Docker
2. Kubernetes
3. NPM
4. Skaffold

Prerequisite

1. Setup the environment keys:

• kubectl create secret generic jwt-secret --from-literal=JWT_KEY=<SECRET_KEY>
• kubectl create secret generic stripeTs-secret --from-literal=STRIPE_KEY=<STRIPE_PRIVATE_KEY>

2. First time running ingress-nginx? (https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/)

• kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/static/provider/cloud/deploy.yaml

3. We use the posts.com domain name to point to the Kubernetes cluster.

   Go to:

   Windows:
   C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
   
   Mac/Linux:
   /etc/hosts
   

   Paste 127.0.0.1 ticketing.dev at the bottom of the hosts file.

Possible weirdness

1. When you run skaffold dev for the first time it's possible that ingress-nginx-admission throws an error. Close skaffold dev and execute kubectl delete -A ValidatingWebhookConfiguration ingress-nginx-admission. Rerun skaffold dev

Start Application

Run this project using skaffold dev (may need to run 2 times)

Terminate Application

Just type CTRL+C to terminate Skaffold. Check if Skaffold deleted all the pods, services and deployments by running kubectl get all. If this is not the case, run kubectl delete all --all
