I wrote a setup guide for developers to practice and learn Kubernetes locally

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/kubernetes

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • local-kubernetes-setup

    Setup a local Kubernetes cluster on any OS with TLS support and nginx as an ingress controller to deploy services on local trusted domains.

  • dashboard

    General-purpose web UI for Kubernetes clusters

  • At the end of the guide, two web applications will be deployed: the sample ASP.NET Core app from Microsoft and Kubernetes dashboard. Both served on custom local domains with trusted TLS.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • kind

    Kubernetes IN Docker - local clusters for testing Kubernetes

  • Unfortunately no, Docker Desktop is single-node cluster only. However, kind can create multi-nodes Kubernetes if you need to. It's another tool to "learn" but once you're comfortable with Kubernetes (tolerations, etc.) it's not that bad.

  • kubectx

    Faster way to switch between clusters and namespaces in kubectl

  • I would recommend those 2 tools to easily switch between contexts and namespaces : kubectx and kubens

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
