Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure you have the following installed:

• Docker: Install Docker
• Kubernetes (kind): Install kind
• kubectl: Install kubectl
• Flux CLI: Install Flux CLI

Installation

1. Clone the Repository

   Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/Frnn4268/textractify-kubernetes-flux.git
   cd textractify-kubernetes-flux

2. Create a Kind Cluster

   Create a new Kubernetes cluster using kind:

   kind create cluster --name "your_cluster_name"

3. Install Flux

   Bootstrap Flux into your Git repository:

   flux bootstrap github \
   --owner="your_github_username" \
   --repository=textractify-kubernetes-flux \
   --branch=master \
   --path=clusters/textractify \
   --personal

4. Update Docker Images

   Push your Docker images to Docker Hub. Ensure your images are tagged correctly. Example:

   docker build -t your-dockerhub-username/client:latest ./client
   docker push your-dockerhub-username/client:latest
   
   docker build -t your-dockerhub-username/server:latest ./server
   docker push your-dockerhub-username/server:latest
   
   docker build -t your-dockerhub-username/textractify-client:latest ./textractify-client
   docker push your-dockerhub-username/textractify-client:latest

Deployment

After the configurations are set up, Flux will automatically monitor the Git repository for changes. To apply the initial configuration, run:

kubectl apply -f clusters/textractify

Verification

1. Check Flux Status

   Verify that Flux is functioning correctly by checking its status:

   flux get kustomizations

2. Check Pod Status

   Verify the status of the deployments and pods:

   kubectl get deployments
   kubectl get pods

3. Access the Services

   Forward the service ports to access the applications:

   kubectl port-forward svc/client 8080:80
   kubectl port-forward svc/server 3001:3000
   kubectl port-forward svc/textractify-client 3002:81
