Create Kubernetes cluster with KinD
We recommend users developing Submarine with minikube. However, KinD is also an option to setup a Kubernetes cluster on your local machine.
Run the following command, and specify the KinD version and Kubernetes version here.
# Download the specific version of KinD (must >= v0.6.0) export KIND_VERSION=v0.11.1 curl -Lo ./kind https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind/releases/download/${KIND_VERSION}/kind-linux-amd64 # Make the binary executable chmod +x ./kind # Move the binary to your executable path sudo mv ./kind /usr/local/bin/ # Create cluster with specific version of kubernetes export KUBE_VERSION=v1.15.12 kind create cluster --image kindest/node:${KUBE_VERSION}
