This document explains how you can install APISIX ingress locally on kind.
:::tip
If you encounter issues, check the version you are using. This document uses kind v0.12.0, Helm v3.8.1, and kubectl v1.23.5.
:::
Ensure you have Docker running and start the kind cluster:
kind create cluster
See Ingress to learn more about setting up ingress on a kind cluster.
The script below installs APISIX and the ingress controller:
helm repo add apisix https://charts.apiseven.com helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami helm repo update kubectl create ns ingress-apisix helm install apisix apisix/apisix \ --set gateway.type=NodePort \ --set ingress-controller.enabled=true \ --namespace ingress-apisix \ --set ingress-controller.config.apisix.serviceNamespace=ingress-apisix kubectl get service --namespace ingress-apisix
This will create the five resources mentioned below:
apisix-gateway
: dataplane the process the traffic.apisix-admin
: control plane that processes all configuration changes.apisix-ingress-controller
: ingress controller which exposes APISIX.apisix-etcd
and apisix-etcd-headless
: stores configuration and handles internal communication.You should now be able to use APISIX ingress controller. You can try running this minimal example to see if everything is working perfectly.
