(If you want to work with helm2 you can find an old version of this blogpost archived here). The following instructions are for helm version 3.
#Kubernetes is starting docker for mac install
Recently helm version 3 was released, which has some breaking changes over version 2 (most notably, there’s no need anymore to install the server side component tiller). (For example, installing grafana with helm looks like: helm install my-grafana stable/grafana ). They are currently the de-facto standard for installing apps and extensions on k8s clusters. It allows to define and install applications for k8s. The result of enabling Kubernetes in the Docker Desktop preferences is a rather minimal k8s cluster - and it might make sense to install and enable some additional components before starting to hack with kubectl.

Until next time, Code with Passion and Strive for Excellence. I hope that developers working with Docker and Kubernetes find this tool useful. Just by setting the proper context for kubectl we can have the same productivity gains that we saw during the last post. It does not require any configuration change to the skaffold.yaml file or to the Kubernetes manifest files. I commented and uncommented the same set of lines that we had used during the previous post.Īs can be seen from this demo, we can seamlessly move from minikube cluster to the docker for mac cluster while working with skaffold.

It doesn't even take 1 second to update the deployment. Let test it by making some changes in the code.Īs you can see from the above screen capture, the updates are really fast. With this, now skaffold is continuously monitoring for changes to the source code. I have not seen these kind of speeds while using docker compose in the past. Same way the deploy is done in less than 2 seconds. The build speed is just over 1 second to build the required Docker images. The proper context has been selected by skaffold. We execute the same command skaffold dev which we did during the earlier post. Once the right context is set, there is no change to be done on the skaffold side. We are now ready to deploy the application to this cluster. Kubectl config use-context docker-for-desktop This can be done by executing the command We need the context to be set to the docker-for-mac context. The minikube cluster is the current context as shown by the * sign in front of the cluster name. We can see two clusters are currently configured. Lets first get the list of all the clusters we have at our disposal. We need to ensure that the right context is set for the kubectl. kubectl can work with multiple clusters at the same time. We will be using the kubectl command line tool to deploy the artifacts to Kubernetes cluster.


Once everything is setup we should get the Docker is running and Kubernetes is running in green status. If you are enabling the settings for the first time it can take a while for the Kubernetes to start the single node cluster. In my case I had these settings already enabled. Finally apply the setting as shown with steps 1 to 4 below. Select the Kubernetes pane, enable Kubernetes support, select default Orchestrator ad Kubernetes. Navigate to the preferences section of Docker.


Lets first enable the support for Kubernetes orchestrator for our installation of Docker for Mac.
