Building the project with Skaffold and Kaniko

Prerequisites

• A Kubernetes cluster such as microk8s .
• Download skaffold cli
• helm
• kubectl

Install the Keda controller

Use helm to install the Keda Controller

helm repo add kedacore https://kedacore.azureedge.net/helm

helm repo update

helm install kedacore/keda-edge `
    --devel `
    --set logLevel=debug `
    --namespace keda `
    --name keda

Create secret for Kaniko use.

Kaniko will pull and push from a Docker registry. If you already have a docker config, you can easily create the kaniko secret.

Example

kubectl create secret generic regcred --from-file=/home/your user/.docker/config.json

Build and deploy the application

Examine the skaffold.yaml at the root of the project. Change the image name according to your registry.

You dont need to specify the tag, skaffold will create a tag base on git hash.

apiVersion: skaffold/v1beta15
kind: Config
profiles:
- name: techtalksproducer
  build:
    artifacts:
    - image: balchu/techtalkproducer
      context: src
      kaniko:
        dockerfile: Dockerfile-TechTalksAPI
        buildContext:
          localDir: {}
    cluster:
      dockerConfig:
        secretName: regcred
      namespace: default
    insecureRegistries: #Use this for local registry.  such as microk8s registry.
    - 10.152.183.39:5000
  deploy:
    kubectl:
      manifests:
        - k8s/TechTalksProducer/*.yml

- name: techtalksconsumer
  build:
    artifacts:
    - image: balchu/techtalksconsumer
      context: src
      kaniko:
        dockerfile: Dockerfile-TechTalksMQConsumer
        buildContext:
          localDir: {}
    cluster:
      dockerConfig:
        secretName: regcred
      namespace: default
    insecureRegistries:
    - 10.152.183.39:5000
  deploy:
    kubectl:
      manifests:
        - k8s/TechTalksConsumer/*.yml

After modifying the skaffold.yaml, execute the following command.

To build and run the producer:

skaffold run -p techtalksproducer

To build and run the consumer:

skaffold run -p techtalksconsumer
