# Development
## Prerequisites
To start developing K3k you will need:
- Go
- Docker
- Helm
- A running Kubernetes cluster
### TLDR
```shell
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
# These environment variables configure the image repository and tag.
export REPO=ghcr.io/myuser
export VERSION=dev-$(date -u '+%Y%m%d%H%M')
make
make push
make install
```
### Makefile
To see all the available Make commands you can run `make help`, i.e:
```
-> % make help
all Run 'make' or 'make all' to run 'version', 'build-crds', 'build' and 'package'
version Print the current version
build Build the the K3k binaries (k3k, k3k-kubelet and k3kcli)
package Package the k3k and k3k-kubelet Docker images
push Push the K3k images to the registry
test Run all the tests
test-unit Run the unit tests (skips the e2e)
test-controller Run the controller tests (pkg/controller)
test-e2e Run the e2e tests
build-crds Build the CRDs specs
docs Build the CRDs docs
lint Find any linting issues in the project
validate Validate the project checking for any dependency or doc mismatch
install Install K3k with Helm on the targeted Kubernetes cluster
help Show this help.
```
### Build
To build the needed binaries (`k3k`, `k3k-kubelet` and the `k3kcli`) and package the images you can simply run `make`.
By default the `rancher` repository will be used, but you can customize this to your registry with the `REPO` env var:
```
REPO=ghcr.io/userorg make
```
To customize the tag you can also explicitly set the VERSION:
```
VERSION=dev-$(date -u '+%Y%m%d%H%M') make
```
### Push
You will need to push the built images to your registry, and you can use the `make push` command to do this.
### Install
Once you have your images available you can install K3k with the `make install` command. This will use `helm` to install the release.
## Tests
To run the tests you can just run `make test`, or one of the other available "sub-tests" targets (`test-unit`, `test-controller`, `test-e2e`).
We use [Ginkgo](https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/), and [`envtest`](https://book.kubebuilder.io/reference/envtest) for testing the controllers.
The required binaries for `envtest` are installed with [`setup-envtest`](https://pkg.go.dev/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/tools/setup-envtest), in the `.envtest` folder.
## CRDs and Docs
We are using Kubebuilder and `controller-gen` to build the needed CRDs. To generate the specs you can run `make build-crds`.
Remember also to update the CRDs documentation running the `make docs` command.
