    • For Windows, create a directory and add it to you System PATH. We recommend creating a C:\Program Files\kbcli directory and adding it to the PATH.

Install KubeBlocks on your local machine

This guide walks you through the quickest way to get started with KubeBlocks, demonstrating how to create a demo environment (Playground) with one kbcli command.

Prerequisites

Meet the following requirements for a smooth user experience:

  • Minimum system requirements:

    • CPU: 4 cores, use sysctl hw.physicalcpu command to check CPU;
    • RAM: 4 GB, use top -d command to check memory.

  • Make sure the following tools are installed on your laptop:

    • Docker: v20.10.5 (runc ≥ v1.0.0-rc93) or above;
    • kubectl: it is used to interact with Kubernetes clusters;

Initialize Playground

kbcli playground init

This command:

  1. Creates a Kubernetes cluster in the container with K3d.
  2. Deploys KubeBlocks in the K3d cluster.
  3. Creates a standalone MySQL cluster.

NOTE: If you previously ran kbcli playground init and it failed, running it again may cause errors. Please run the kbcli playground destroy command first to clean up the environment, then run kbcli playground init again.

Check the MySQL cluster repeatedly until the status becomes Running.

kbcli cluster list

Try KubeBlocks with Playground

View the database cluster list.

kbcli cluster list

View the details of a specified database cluster, such as STATUS, Endpoints, Topology, Images.

kbcli cluster describe mycluster

Wait until the status of this cluster is Running, run kbcli cluster connect to access a specified database cluster. For example,

kbcli cluster connect mycluster

List and open the grafana dashboard.

# list all dashboards
kbcli dashboard list

# open grafana dashboard
kbcli dashboard open kubeblocks-grafana

Destroy Playground

kbcli playground destroy
