Setting up Docketeer to work with a Kubernetes cluster

Prerequisites: you must be running a Kubernetes cluster/kube, have kubectl and helm installed.

Open up a new tab in your terminal. Run

npm install

Docketeer is using d3-sankey for data visualization, which is currently not being actively maintained. Running npm install would install patch-package and make sure to input y when you see the following prompt:

Need to install the following packages:
  patch-package@7.0.2
Ok to proceed? (y)

and

npm run dev

Then, navigate to localhost:4001/api/k8:

If you haven't set up Prometheus-Operator with us before, click the first button to install.
Otherwise, you can skip the first button and go on with the next two!
P.S. Make sure to keep this terminal open!

In Development

  • Support for more development frameworks and languages, such as Next.JS.
  • Expand Docker networking capabilities within Docketeer to provide more sophisticated networking configurations and better interoperability with other network tools.
  • Develop more advanced container configuration options within Docketeer, such as load balancing or high availability setups.
  • Integrate Docketeer with popular development tools like IDEs or continuous integration/delivery systems for better automation and workflow efficiency.
  • Add support for more advanced Docker features, like multi-stage builds or Docker secrets, to expand the capabilities of Docketeer.
  • Develop integration with cloud services like AWS or Azure to simplify the deployment of Docker-based applications.
  • Implement the Kubernetes metric monitoring from the browser version to the extension version.
  • Display additional metrics for Kubernetes clusters.

Troubleshooting:


WSL

There are some known issues running Docketeer through WSL. Using WindowsOS, MacOS, or Linux is recommended.


Linux

If you are runing Docketeer in Linux and encounter the followeing errors, you might need to change some of your permissions.

grafana        |Error: ✗ failed to connect to database: failed to create SQLite database file "/var/lib/grafana/grafana.db": open /var/lib/grafana/grafana.db: permission denied
prometheus     | ts=2023-07-05T23:48:01.612Z caller=query_logger.go:113 level=error component=activeQueryTracker msg="Failed to create directory for logging active queries"

prometheus     | ts=2023-07-05T23:48:01.613Z caller=query_logger.go:91 level=error component=activeQueryTracker msg="Error opening query log file" file=/prometheus/data/queries.active err="open data/queries.active: no such file or directory"

prometheus     | panic: Unable to create mmap-ed active query log

In order to do this, you need to change the permissions of data in ./imageConfigs/grafana and promDate under ./imageConfigs/prometheus.

go to grafana under ./imageConfigs and change permission of data

cd ./imageConfigs/grafana
chmod 771 data/

go to prometheus under ./imageConfigs and change permission of promDate

cd ./imageConfigs/prometheus
chmod 777 promData/

Ad-blocker

If you are encountering the following error and are running an ad-blocker, disable your ad-blocker

ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT

Network Capacity

By default, Docker can only create 31 networks. If you try to create more, you would encounter the following error:

Error response from daemon: could not find an available, non-overlapping IPv4 address pool among the defaults to assign to the network

To expand network capacity, add the following to /etc/docker/daemon.json

{
  "default-address-pools" : [
    {
      "base" : "172.17.0.0/12",
      "size" : 20
    },
    {
      "base" : "192.168.0.0/16",
      "size" : 24
    }
  ]
}
