Getting started with Otomi on Minikube

Prerequisites

• minikube(Mac/Windows)

Configure Minikube cluster

NOTE: Windows users, open PowerShell as Administrator to execute the commands

# Enable calico if you want to check network policies
# For Windows 
minikube start --memory=8192 --cpus=8 --driver=hyperv --kubernetes-version=v1.22.4 --cni calico
# For Mac
minikube start --memory=8192 --cpus=8 --driver=hyperkit --kubernetes-version=v1.22.4 --cni calico

Enable metallb (network load balancer)

# Enable metallb
minikube addons enable metallb
# Get the IP
minikube ip
# Configure metallb with the IP as seen in the figure below
minikube addons configure metallb

Install Otomi using helm

# Add the Otomi repo
helm repo add otomi https://otomi.io/otomi-core 
helm repo update
# Otomi install with minimal chart values
helm install otomi otomi/otomi --set cluster.k8sVersion="1.22" --set cluster.name=minikube --set cluster.provider=custom --set apps.host-mods.enabled=false

The helm chart deploys an installer job responsible for installing the Otomi platform on the minikube cluster.

# Monitor the job status
kubectl get job otomi -w
# Installer job logs
kubectl logs jobs/otomi -n default -f

At the end of the logs of the installer job, you will find the URL and the credentials to log into the Otomi console.
