== Use minikube ==

<sxh>
minikube start
</sxh>

{{https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/alf-digital-wiki-pics/sharex/aAf1dtbFrE.png}}






<sxh>
kubectl get po -A
</sxh>

== Prefix "minikube kubectl" ==

To avoid "Unauthorized exception" when using "kubectl"

it is important to use 

<sxh>
minikube kubectl -- <YOU KUBECTL PARAMS>
minikube kubectl -- version
minikube kubectl -- create deployment demo-consume-api --image=ghcr.io/alfrepo/demo-consume-api:latest
</sxh>

== "alias" for kubectl ==

Use the alias on Linux
<sxh>
alias kubectl="minikube kubectl --"
</sxh>

Use the functions on Windows powershell
<sxh>
function kubectl {
  param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
    [string] $arguments
  )
  minikube kubectl -- $arguments
}
</sxh>

<sxh>
minikube kubectl -- get po -A
</sxh>





== Dashboard == 
<sxh>
minikube dashboard
</sxh>

== On Minikube - open a port to listen on your Windows machine == 

Assume you earlier created some **deployment**

<sxh shell>
minikube kubectl -- create deployment demo-consume-api --image=ghcr.io/alfrepo/demo-consume-api:latest
</sxh>

This application is running on port ''8080'', exposing API on ''/public/hello''

Then to expose the deployment

<sxh shell>
minikube service list
|----------------------|---------------------------|--------------|-----|
|      NAMESPACE       |           NAME            | TARGET PORT  | URL |
|----------------------|---------------------------|--------------|-----|
| default              | demo-consume-api          |         8080 |     |
| default              | kubernetes                | No node port |     |
| kube-system          | kube-dns                  | No node port |     |
| kubernetes-dashboard | dashboard-metrics-scraper | No node port |     |
| kubernetes-dashboard | kubernetes-dashboard      | No node port |     |
|----------------------|---------------------------|--------------|-----|


# pick the service deployment
# its on port 8080
# now make a port exposed

minikube service --url demo-consume-api
http://127.0.0.1:52260
❗  Because you are using a Docker driver on windows, the terminal needs to be open to run it.

# other terminal you now can
curl http://127.0.0.1:52260/public/hello
