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
