Converting from Docker-Compose
The first step will be to install kompose and convert our docker-compose.yml to kubernetes yaml files.
Install kompose
> brew install kompose
Startup without Converting
For simple docker-compose files, we can skip the steps pf converting and start up directly using kompose up.
> kompose up
Exporting
For more complicated docker-compose files, we will need to export and then modify the converted files.
> kompose convert
$ kompose convert WARN Volume mount on the host "/Users/john.mehan/projects/cloud/deployment/is-config/IND" isn't supported - ignoring path on the host INFO Kubernetes file "cloudservice-service.yaml" created INFO Kubernetes file "isservice-service.yaml" created INFO Kubernetes file "postgres-service.yaml" created INFO Kubernetes file "redis-service.yaml" created INFO Kubernetes file "cloudservice-deployment.yaml" created INFO Kubernetes file "isservice-deployment.yaml" created INFO Kubernetes file "isservice-claim0-persistentvolumeclaim.yaml" created INFO Kubernetes file "postgres-deployment.yaml" created INFO Kubernetes file "db-volume-persistentvolumeclaim.yaml" created INFO Kubernetes file "redis-deployment.yaml" created
Create Kubernetes pods in Cluster
We are using minkube for our cluster. Lets start by making sure it is running:
$ minikube start
Using the yaml files created by kompose export, lets create our pods:
$ kubectl create -f cloudservice-service.yaml,isservice-service.yaml,postgres-service.yaml,redis-service.yaml,cloudservice-deployment.yaml,isservice-deployment.yaml,isservice-claim0-persistentvolumeclaim.yaml,postgres-deployment.yaml,db-volume-persistentvolumeclaim.yaml,redis-deployment.yaml service/cloudservice created service/isservice created service/postgres created service/redis created deployment.extensions/cloudservice created deployment.extensions/isservice created persistentvolumeclaim/isservice-claim0 created deployment.extensions/postgres created persistentvolumeclaim/db-volume created deployment.extensions/redis created
Pulling image from Docker Registry
Kubernetes will pull docker images from docker hub by default. For our own custom images, we will pull them from our local docker registry.
For this to work we need to
- create a secret in the cluster that holds our authorization token
- update our deployment yaml files to include this secret
- setup an ssh tunnel between our localhost running docker registry and our cluster (minikube)
Create a Secret in the cluster that holds your authorization token
> kubectl create secret docker-registry regcred --docker-server=<your-registry-server> --docker-username=<your-name> --docker-password=<your-pword> --docker-email=<your-email>
$ kubectl create secret docker-registry regcred --docker-server=http://localhost:5000/ --docker-username=username --docker-password=password --docker-email=john.mehan@irdeto.com secret/regcred created
Revise deployment.yaml files
Add imagePullSecrets section to your deployment yaml files:
imagePullSecrets:
- name: regcred
example:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1 kind: Deployment metadata: ... spec: replicas: 1 strategy: type: Recreate template: metadata: creationTimestamp: null labels: io.kompose.service: isservice spec: containers: - image: localhost:5000/safa_is:0.1 name: isservice ports: - containerPort: 8080 resources: {} tty: true volumeMounts: - mountPath: /home/irdeto/CONF/ISF/IND name: is-volume restartPolicy: Always volumes: - name: is-volume persistentVolumeClaim: claimName: is-volume imagePullSecrets: - name: regcred status: {}
Setup SSH Tunnel
We will setup an SSH Tunnel in order to allow kubernetes to pull images from our local docker registry.
$ ssh -i ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/id_rsa docker@$(minikube ip) -R 5000:localhost:5000
