complete setup of a local k3d cluster on macos with flux enabled on local git server

k3d_local_git.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -m  # enable job control

## change your LAN ip address in the variable "PUBLICIP" before run
## run with "-d" command line switch to debug each step, script will wait for keypress to go on
## integrated mods by KingdonB in his fork: https://gist.github.com/kingdonb/dec74f3b74ffbb83b54d53d5c033e508
## added proper coredns patching via "coredns-custom" configmap
## added automatic /etc/hosts file modification if needed, sudo password will be asked in case
## added (commented out) lines to add Flux extra controllers to the setup
## deployed podinfo as in Flux Get Started guide
## added kustomize patch to change color in podinfo deployment
## issue: https://github.com/fluxcd/flux/issues/3594

I was aiming to make it work with one key, the -d mode will be nice for the demo of this script 👍

...but when I show this off later myself, at least the first time I'm going to be running a stop-watch, and the key feature will be "it takes care of all the stuff we've already demonstrated in prior videos, in less than 200 seconds without any of my attention required except for this single keystroke about halfway through"

This gives roughly just enough time to speak quickly about "what that is we did many times before," or even enough to split between that and a summary of what we'll do next.

As for saving the PID, I commented out just enough to communicate what changes I would make, I wasn't aiming for clean or polished – just reliably functional. There is no reason to save that PID now. You can cherry-pick and amend to your heart's content. I also noticed the trailing slash/duplicated slash issue myself, and had that fix saved in a Git stash.

One other minor improvement, it took me a while to figure out that fg %1 was wrong and I should fg %2 – I also learned then about fg %+ and fg %- one of which is probably correct and wouldn't require anymore counting up the number of times we suspend and toss a port-forward process into the background. With a minor enhancement like that, it would be easy to:

(2) Subshell that monitors for rollout progress, join a previous port-forward, and start a new one after it's finished. (As many times as needed while the script still runs!)

@fragolinux It's been a while since I was this excited about a BASH script, thanks again for sharing this 😃
