How To Just Deploy Without Build

helm install helm/demoapp/ --name demoapp --namespace demoapp

This chart will deploy demoapp. Alongside with it, MongoDB will be deployed and configured. Also all-in-one jaeger will be deployed.

How To Access

Get access by default demoapp will be exposed via cluster ingress controller.

To get access to jaeger

kubectl port-forward svc/demoapp-jaeger-query -n kube-system 8001:80

then open http://127.0.0.1:8001

You also can deploy app with internal ingress controller

helm install helm/demoapp/ --name demoapp --namespace demoapp --set nginx.enabled=true

Then you should be able to kubectl port-forward to nginx service
