How to build a developer kubernetes setup with MicroK8s

I needed a test kubernetes cluster to deploy my applications during the development. I have a Intel NUC which is perfect as small server and installed Ubuntu Server 19.10 and at the end of the installation the setup asked if I want to install MicroK8s.

As I have only installed a full featured kubernetes cluster on linux and on Windows I am using Docker Desktop for Windows with Kubernetes, I thought I give it a try.

It took a little while, but I ended up with a nice little kubernetes running which is perfect for my needs.

Version 1.0.0 released!

After a long time of inactivity, I managed to release version 1.0.0 A former colleague asked me for a feature for SmartCSV.fx. He needed the ability to set the encoding. I was about to program it, when I saw that I had received a PullRequest that solved the problem. This motivated me to write two of the outstanding issues on the way to release 1.0.0. SmartCSV.fx now supports changing the order of columns using drag’n’drop and I created an official logo.

Develop With Containers

Develop containerized applications

When using docker for developing a microsoervice architecture, than the easiest way to let them run on a development machine is by putting all pieces into docker containers and let the debugger debug into the docker container.

This can slow down your development process as a change in the application can result in a compile, build image, start container process. And the classic way of comiple and run in the IDE tend to be a lot faster.

So I came up with a solution that our nginx reverse proxy does not send the request to the containers, that I am working on, but to the host. And all containers I am not working on are running as containers.

In my example, I have a simple .NET core REST-API as backend server I am working on, an Angular application as frontend I am working on and another backend service which is just used as it is.

Configure URL from server before http-request in Angular header image

For an angular application which is deployed inhouse to several customers, the application has to figure out, where the backend server exists.

Setting the url in the environment was not useful, as each customer needs his own url and this would end up in big build scripts.

Also the customer could not reorganize the server names on his own, without breaking the application if he chooses to change the server name.

Converter for the old validation configuration written in Kotlin.
