Prerequisites

0. [Optional] if you use a proxy to access internet, you have to put it in different files

   • for containerd make entry

     HTTPS_PROXY=http://<yourProxyIP>:<ProxyPort>
     NO_PROXY=10.1.0.0/16,10.152.183.0/24
     

     in /var/snap/microk8s/current/args/containerd-env. After this step restart microk8s with sudo microk8s stop; sudo microk8s start
   • for curl (necessary for microk8s modules) make entry HTTPS_PROXY=http://<yourProxyIP>:<ProxyPort> in /etc/environment
   • for snapd make entry Environment="HTTPS_PROXY=http://<yourProxyIP>:<ProxyPort>"in /etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d/snap_proxy.conf

1. Add your user to microk8s group to avoid sudo

   sudo usermod -a -G microk8s <user>
   sudo chown -f -R <user> ~/.kube
   

2. Add .bash_aliases to your home directory

   (copy existing or write your own)

   # my aliases
   alias ls='ls -la --color=auto'
   alias mk='microk8s'
   alias kubectl='microk8s.kubectl'
   

3. make kompose executable and copy to /usr/bin/

   chmod +x kompose
   sudo cp kompose /usr/bin/
   

4. logout and login again

5. enable microK8s modules

   microk8s enable dns dashboard prometheus storage
   

6. generate certificates and files

   /bin/bash generate-cert.sh
   

   This generates the certs and YAML files for coffeshop and VPX-ingress

7. add Route to VPX add Route for Network 10.1.0.0/16 with gateway <Ubuntu20.04-IPaddress> to Tier-1 adc

   Normally CIC would push the routes to the POD network to VPX, but for some reasons this do not work in a MicroK8s environment.

Start with coffeeshop
