SETUP.md

Install Minikube and Kubernetes CLI:

brew cask install minikube
brew install kubernetes-cli

I chose HyperKit as the hypervisor:

brew install hyperkit
minikube config set vm-driver hyperkit

• Make sure to set it as the default driver otherwise it will fail with something like:

  Retriable failure: create: precreate: VBoxManage not found. Make sure VirtualBox is installed and VBoxManage is in the path
  

Run Minikube and set Docker environment variables:

minikube start --cpus 4 --memory 8192 --vm-driver=hyperkit
eval $(minikube docker-env)

• Note the --vm-driver=hyperkit option.
• Alternatively use .bashrc and run bigkube.

Installing Helm:

brew install kubernetes-helm

Configuring Tiller:

TILLER_NAMESPACE=kube-system
kubectl create serviceaccount --namespace $TILLER_NAMESPACE tiller
kubectl create clusterrolebinding $TILLER_NAMESPACE:tiller --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=$TILLER_NAMESPACE:tiller

Installing Tiller fails on K8 1.16 due to helm/helm#6374 so use this workaround:

helm init --wait --service-account tiller --tiller-namespace=$TILLER_NAMESPACE \
  --override spec.selector.matchLabels.'name'='tiller',spec.selector.matchLabels.'app'='helm' --output yaml | \
  sed 's@apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1@apiVersion: apps/v1@' | \
  kubectl apply -f -

• This adds the selector and replaces extensions/v1beta1 with apps/v1.

Verify Helm:

helm version

• The versions should match.

Do the cred dance ($HOME/.lightbend/commercial.credentials):

realm = Bintray
host = dl.bintray.com
user = <userid>
password = <token>

Download the install script:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lightbend/console-charts/master/enterprise-suite/scripts/lbc.py
chmod u+x lbc.py

Create the lightbend namespace:

kubectl create namespace lightbend

The install script will fail since the config also uses apiVersion of apps/v1beta2. We have to tweak the config and install manually.

Manually install the creds:

./lbc.py install --namespace=lightbend --version=1.2.2 --export-yaml=creds | \
  kubectl --namespace=lightbend apply -f -

Export the config, modify, then apply:

./lbc.py install --namespace=lightbend --version=1.2.2 --export-yaml=console --set minikube=true | \
  sed 's@apps/v1beta2@apps/v1@' | \
  kubectl --namespace=lightbend apply -f -

Now wait a little bit and run:

./lbc.py verify --namespace=lightbend
