Deployment of Dapr Store to Kubernetes
This is a brief guide to deploying Dapr Store to Kubernetes.
Assumptions:
- kubectl is installed, and configured to access your Kubernetes cluster
- dapr CLI is installed - https://docs.dapr.io/getting-started/install-dapr-cli/
- helm is installed - https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/
This guide does not cover more advanced deployment scenarios such as deploying behind a DNS name, or with HTTPS enabled or with used identity enabled.
For more details see the documentation for the Dapr Store Helm chart
🥾 Initial Setup
Deploy Dapr to Kubernetes
Skip this if the Dapr control plane is already deployed
dapr init --kubernetes
kubectl get pod --namespace dapr-system
Full instructions here:
📃 https://docs.dapr.io/operations/hosting/kubernetes/kubernetes-overview/
Optional - If you wish to view or check the Dapr dashboard
kubectl port-forward deploy/dapr-dashboard --namespace dapr-system 8080:8080
Open the dashboard at http://localhost:8080/
Create namespace for Dapr Store app
namespace=dapr-store
kubectl create namespace $namespace
Add Helm repos
helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
helm repo add ingress-nginx https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx
helm repo update
💾 Deploy Redis
helm install dapr-redis bitnami/redis --values deploy/config/redis-values.yaml --namespace $namespace
Validate & check status
helm list --namespace $namespace
kubectl get pod daprstore-redis-master-0 --namespace $namespace
🌐 Deploy NGINX Ingress Controller (API Gateway)
helm install api-gateway ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx --values deploy/config/ingress-values.yaml --namespace $namespace
Validate & check status
helm list --namespace $namespace
kubectl get pod -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=api-gateway --namespace $namespace
kubectl get svc --namespace $namespace
🚀 Deploy Dapr Store
Now deploy the Dapr Store application and all services using Helm
helm install store ./deploy/helm/daprstore --namespace $namespace
Validate & check status
helm list --namespace $namespace
kubectl get pod -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=store --namespace $namespace
To get the URL of the deployed store run the following command:
echo -e "Access Dapr Store here: http://$(kubectl get svc -l "purpose=daprstore-api-gateway" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}")/"
