GXF gitops

Gitops repo for GXF platform and cucumber tests. This repo can also be used to run the platform and/or cucumber tests locally. It is using K3D to start up a kubernetes cluster.

Requirements to run the GXF platform locally

• Unix file system: Linux, Mac or WSL
• Enough ram: at least 32GB
• Installed software:
  • Docker
  • Helm
  • Kubectl

How to set up the GXF platform or cucumber tests locally

• Run the setup.sh script, this will download, install and then use k3d to create a local cluster named test.
  • When you add an argument to this setup script it will create a local K3D image-registry and will install the dev chart. This dev chart will install a kubernetes dashboard and PgWeb instance on the just created kubernetes cluster
  • This setup.sh script will also create the necessary secrets needed to deploy the GXF containers
• After the setup.sh script you can use the port-forward.sh script in the dev chart to get access to you kubernetes dashboard
• Now you can install the GXF platform by running the template-apply.sh script in the gxf-platform chart. This will install the complete GXF platform to the just created kubernetes dashboard
• Now you can run the template-apply.sh in the gxf-cucumber chart. However, you need to supply a correct values file. You can supply this values file by adding --valuesFile <values file in ci folder>
  • To see extra logs of the cucumber tests you can have a look at /tmp/k3dvolume, there should be some logs present.
