Exercise — Local Cluster

• We want to have our own local Kubernetes cluster

  (we can use Docker Desktop, KinD, minikube... anything will do!)

• Then we want to run a copy of dockercoins on that cluster

• We want to be able to connect to the web UI

  (we can expose the port, or use port-forward, or whatever)

---

Goal

• Be able to see the dockercoins web UI running on our local cluster

---

Hints

• On a Mac or Windows machine:

  the easiest solution is probably Docker Desktop

• On a Linux machine:

  the easiest solution is probably KinD or k3d

• To connect to the web UI:

  kubectl port-forward is probably the easiest solution

---

Bonus

• If you already have a local Kubernetes cluster:

  try to run another one!

• Try to use another method than kubectl port-forward
