Knative on Kind (KonK)

Checkout my tutorials for other kubernetes like docker-desktop and minikube.

Please refer and complete the tasks specified the "Install Docker Desktop" and "Install Kind" section before executing the command below

TLDR;

curl -sL get.konk.dev | bash

If you only need the install without the sample apps then use curl -sL install.konk.dev | bash

Updated and verified on 2021/06/20 with:

Knative Serving 0.23.0

Knative Kourier 0.23.0

Knative Eventing 0.23.0

Kind version 0.11.0

Kubernetes version 1.21.1

Install Docker Desktop

To use kind, you will also need to install docker.

Docker post installation configuration to run docker commands as non-root logged in user without sudo Note: Make sure group called "docker" exists on the vm/bare-metal compute instance prior to adding user to docker group

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Refresh docker group membership of logged in non-root user

newgrp docker

Verify that docker engine and CLI is working without sudo:

docker version

Create cluster with Kind

TLDR; curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/csantanapr/knative-kind/master/01-kind.sh | sh

Install or Upgrade kind Linux, MacOS, or Windows. Download kind binary and verify the version with
```
kind --version
```

Delete and create, start your cluster, we specify the config file above.A kind cluster config manifest is used to expose port 80 on the host to be later used by the Knative Kourier ingress. To use a different version of kubernetes check the image digest to use from the kind release page

kind delete cluster --name knative || true

cat <<EOF | kind create cluster --name knative --config=-
kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
nodes:
- role: control-plane
  image: kindest/node:v1.21.1@sha256:fae9a58f17f18f06aeac9772ca8b5ac680ebbed985e266f711d936e91d113bad
  extraPortMappings:
  - containerPort: 31080 # expose port 31380 of the node to port 80 on the host, later to be use by kourier ingress
    hostPort: 80
EOF

Verify the versions of the client kubectl and the cluster api-server, and that you can connect to your cluster.
```
kubectl cluster-info --context kind-knative
```

For more information installing or using kind checkout the docs https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/

Note: You can optionally specify a kind cluster name by setting the environment variable KIND_CLUSTER_NAME.

Install Knative Serving

TLDR;

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/csantanapr/knative-kind/master/02-serving.sh | sh
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/csantanapr/knative-kind/master/02-kourier.sh | sh

Select the version of Knative Serving to install
```
export KNATIVE_VERSION="0.23.0"
```

Install Knative Serving in namespace knative-serving

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/knative/serving/releases/download/v$KNATIVE_VERSION/serving-crds.yaml
kubectl wait --for=condition=Established --all crd

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/knative/serving/releases/download/v$KNATIVE_VERSION/serving-core.yaml

kubectl wait pod --timeout=-1s --for=condition=Ready -l '!job-name' -n knative-serving > /dev/null

Select the version of Knative Net Kourier to install
```
export KNATIVE_NET_KOURIER_VERSION="0.23.0"
```

Install Knative Layer kourier in namespace kourier-system

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/knative/net-kourier/releases/download/v$KNATIVE_NET_KOURIER_VERSION/kourier.yaml
kubectl wait pod --timeout=-1s --for=condition=Ready -l '!job-name' -n kourier-system
kubectl wait pod --timeout=-1s --for=condition=Ready -l '!job-name' -n knative-serving

Set the environment variable EXTERNAL_IP to External IP Address of the Worker Node
```
EXTERNAL_IP="127.0.0.1"
```
Set the environment variable KNATIVE_DOMAIN as the DNS domain using nip.io
```
KNATIVE_DOMAIN="$EXTERNAL_IP.nip.io"
echo KNATIVE_DOMAIN=$KNATIVE_DOMAIN
```
Double-check DNS is resolving
```
dig $KNATIVE_DOMAIN
```

Configure DNS for Knative Serving

kubectl patch configmap -n knative-serving config-domain -p "{\"data\": {\"$KNATIVE_DOMAIN\": \"\"}}"

Configure Kourier to listen for http port 80 on the node

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: kourier-ingress
  namespace: kourier-system
  labels:
    networking.knative.dev/ingress-provider: kourier
spec:
  type: NodePort
  selector:
    app: 3scale-kourier-gateway
  ports:
    - name: http2
      nodePort: 31080
      port: 80
      targetPort: 8080
EOF

Configure Knative to use Kourier

kubectl patch configmap/config-network \
  --namespace knative-serving \
  --type merge \
  --patch '{"data":{"ingress.class":"kourier.ingress.networking.knative.dev"}}'

Verify that Knative is Installed properly all pods should be in Running state and our kourier-ingress service configured.
```
kubectl get pods -n knative-serving
kubectl get pods -n kourier-system
kubectl get svc  -n kourier-system
```

Deploy Knative Serving Application

Deploy using kn

kn service create hello \
--image gcr.io/knative-samples/helloworld-go \
--port 8080 \
--env TARGET=Knative

Optional: Deploy a Knative Service using the equivalent yaml manifest:

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: hello
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
        - image: gcr.io/knative-samples/helloworld-go
          ports:
            - containerPort: 8080
          env:
            - name: TARGET
              value: "Knative"
EOF

Wait for Knative Service to be Ready

kubectl wait ksvc hello --all --timeout=-1s --for=condition=Ready

Get the URL of the new Service

SERVICE_URL=$(kubectl get ksvc hello -o jsonpath='{.status.url}')
echo $SERVICE_URL

Test the App

curl $SERVICE_URL

The output should be:

Hello Knative!

Check the knative pods that scaled from zero

kubectl get pod -l serving.knative.dev/service=hello

The output should be:

NAME                                     READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
hello-r4vz7-deployment-c5d4b88f7-ks95l   2/2     Running   0          7s

Try the service url on your browser (command works on linux and macos)

open $SERVICE_URL

You can watch the pods and see how they scale down to zero after http traffic stops to the url

kubectl get pod -l serving.knative.dev/service=hello -w

The output should look like this:

NAME                                     READY   STATUS
hello-r4vz7-deployment-c5d4b88f7-ks95l   2/2     Running
hello-r4vz7-deployment-c5d4b88f7-ks95l   2/2     Terminating
hello-r4vz7-deployment-c5d4b88f7-ks95l   1/2     Terminating
hello-r4vz7-deployment-c5d4b88f7-ks95l   0/2     Terminating

Try to access the url again, and you will see a new pod running again.

NAME                                     READY   STATUS
hello-r4vz7-deployment-c5d4b88f7-rr8cd   0/2     Pending
hello-r4vz7-deployment-c5d4b88f7-rr8cd   0/2     ContainerCreating
hello-r4vz7-deployment-c5d4b88f7-rr8cd   1/2     Running
hello-r4vz7-deployment-c5d4b88f7-rr8cd   2/2     Running

Some people call this Serverless 🎉 🌮 🔥

Install Knative Eventing

TLDR; curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/csantanapr/knative-kind/master/04-eventing.sh | sh
