Welcome to another hands-on tutorial! Today, we’re deploying a custom HTTPD application in a Kubernetes cluster using Minikube. Follow along as we walk through each step, from setting up prerequisites to deploying, scaling, and cleaning up our application. By the end, you’ll have an in-depth understanding of deploying Docker applications in Minikube with Kubernetes. Prerequisites: Setting Up Your Environment Before we start, make sure you have these tools installed and configured on your local machine: Docker (to build and run container images) kubectl (to manage Kubernetes clusters) Minikube (to run a Kubernetes cluster locally) To verify each tool, use the following commands: docker --version kubectl version --client minikube version Step 1: Run Docker Without Sudo For convenience, we’ll configure Docker to run without sudo : sudo usermod -aG docker $USER newgrp docker After running these commands, log out and back in or use newgrp docker to apply the changes. Step 2: Start the M
Setting Up Minikube and Kubectl on Ubuntu Using Docker: A Step-by-Step Guide to Deploy custom httpd image on Kubernets
Kubernetes is a powerful platform for managing containerized applications, and Minikube provides an easy way to run Kubernetes locally. In this article, we'll walk through the installation of Minikube and `kubectl` on Ubuntu using Docker as the driver. We’ll also demonstrate how to deploy a custom HTTPD application with your own index file. Prerequisites Before diving in, make sure you have: - A system running Ubuntu. - A stable internet connection. - Administrative access to install packages. Step 1: Install Docker Minikube requires a hypervisor to run Kubernetes clusters, and Docker is a popular choice. Here’s how to install Docker on Ubuntu. 1. Update the package index: sudo apt update 2. Install prerequisites: sudo apt install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common 3. Add Docker’s official GPG key: curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/ linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add - 4.Add Docker’s stable repository: sudo add-apt-repository &
