idcApp-k8s

Base application repository for the iDC kubernetes project.

Quick start

Extract snapshot content into a tar file. Currently, idcApp-k8s does not have a convenient way of handling snapshots, so this must be handled manually.

a. Identify a snapshot image to extract. Copy the latest image tag from the github package registry, or look in idc-isle-dc/.env. For example, ghcr.io/jhu-sheridan-libraries/idc-isle-dc/snapshot:upstream-20201007-739693ae-405-g521b43f.1630614319.

b. Extract a tar file from the snapshot image via snapshot=$(docker create <IMAGE>); docker export $snapshot > data.tar. For example,
```
   snapshot=$(docker create ghcr.io/jhu-sheridan-libraries/idc-isle-dc/snapshot:upstream-20201007-739693ae-405-g521b43f.1630614319); \
   docker export $snapshot > data.tar
  
```
Extract the data directory of the tar file to the right location for your platform; then re-name it to idc. if there is a pre-existing idc directory present, delete it. The kubernetes app uses this directory as a bind mount volume for all persistent state. So deleting the existing idc directory and replacing it with content extracted from the snapshot will start from a clean/empty snapshot.

a. Windows (wsl2): tar -C /mnt/c/kubernetes -xvf data.tar data; mv /mnt/c/kubernetes/data /mnt/c/kubernetes/idc

b. Linux: tar -C /minukube-host/ -xvf data.tar data; mv /minikube-host/data /minikube-host/idc

c. Mac: ??
cd into the overlays/development/deployment/<PLATFORM> directory for your platform.
Run kubectl kustomize . | kubectl apply -f - to start the stack!
