For deploying CAPI to K8s

Disclaimer

This repo is very new, experimental, and not yet continuously integrated or tested to the degree we'd like.

Pre-requisites

1. minikube (brew install minikube)
2. helm (brew install kubernetes-helm) We require helm 3.0.0+ to install the postgres & minio data stores in your minikube.
3. To ensure cloud controller submodule is up-to-date run git submodule update --init
4. Run ./scripts/setup.sh to enable the minikube registry and add it to your local docker daemon's list of insecure registries.
5. Restart your docker daemon if the script thinks you should.

Installing dependencies and CAPI

CAPI requires a database and blobstore. We chose to use Postgres and Minio for those dependencies, respectively. Both have stable helm charts, so that is the approach we use to install them.

1. minikube start to make sure minikube is up and running
2. ./scripts/deploy.sh to deploy the dependencies and CAPI
3. Optionally, you can supply custom configuration as an additional argument. E.g.: ./scripts/deploy.sh my-custom-values.yaml.
   See an example of custom configuration here: custom-values.yml

Rolling out changes to CAPI

1. ./scripts/build-and-rollout-capi.sh will take the cloud_controller_ng code in the src/cloud_controller_ng submodule, build a docker image with it, and roll the new image out to the minikube cluster.
2. Optionally, you can supply custom configuration as an additional argument. E.g.: ./scripts/build-and-rollout-capi.sh my-custom-values.yaml.

Known Issues

1. If you see an issue with helm (eg. tiller not found) then update to the latest helm version (brew upgrade helm)
