For development purposes we will use [Minikube](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube) as single-node Kubernetes cluster. curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.21.0/minikube-linux-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/ ### Install kubectl kubectl is used as command line tool for Kubernetes cluster interaction. curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.6.0/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl && chmod +x ./kubectl && sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl ### Start Minikube Start your single-node Kubernetes cluster using Minikube. minikube start --vm-driver=virtualbox --memory=4096 --cpus=2 ## Deploy Camunda BPM The [camunda-bpm-platform-docker](https://github.com/camunda/camunda-bpm-platform-docker) project contains Docker images which are used to deploy Camunda BPM on Kubernetes. First we create namespace `camunda`. bash kubectl create namespace camunda Then we deploy Camunda BPM platform using following command: bash kubectl run camunda --image=camunda/camunda-bpm-platform:latest --port=8080 --namespace=camunda After some time (e.g., after few minutes) you should see that your pods are running: bash kubectl get pods --namespace=camunda NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE camunda-4938506618-g7g9k 1/1 Running 0 11m Now we expose our deployment using LoadBalancer type service: bash kubectl expose deployment camunda --type=LoadBalancer --port=8080 --target-port=8080 --namespace=camunda And finally we can check our service: bash $ kubectl get services --namespace=camunda NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE camunda LoadBalancer xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx.xx *:8080->8080/TCP xxm ## Access Camunda Webapps You should now be able to access Camunda webapps: * **Cockpit** at `http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/camunda` * **Tasklist** at `http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/camundatasklist` * **Admin** at `http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/admin/` * **Modeler** at `http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/modeler/` ## Cleanup After you finished playing with Kubernetes you can delete everything using following commands: bash kubectl delete services --all --namespace=camunda kubectl delete deployment --all --namespace=camunda kubectl delete namespace camunda minikube stop ## Conclusion I hope you enjoyed this post.
