High-level Overview

System Requirements | Lifecycle | Interacting with Services |

Getting Started

1. Download the latest release for your platform and install the devenv binary to /usr/local/bin/:

tar xvf devenv_**_**.tar.gz
mv devenv /usr/local/bin/

# Linux/WSL2 optional: allow your user to update the devenv
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $(command -v devenv)

1. (macOS only) Ensure the devenv binary is authorized to run.

xattr -c $(command -v devenv)

1. Follow the instructions for your platform in the detailed system requirements docs

Defining a Box

TODO. See gobox/pkg/box for the spec.

Creating the Developer Environment

To create a developer environment, run:

devenv provision

Next there's a manual step that you'll need to do. You'll need to add a KUBECONFIG environment variable, this can be done by adding the line below to your shellrc (generally ~/.zshrc or ~/.zsh_profile or ~/.bashrc):

NOTE: For Outreach developers this step is already completed by orc.

# Add the dev-environment to our kube config
export KUBECONFIG="$HOME/.kube/config:$HOME/.outreach/kubeconfig.yaml"

You now have a developer environment provisioned!

FAQ

Using different drivers

The devenv supports different kubernetes runtime drivers, below are the instructions for each driver

KinD

This should work out of the box!

Loft

You will need to create a loft instance, and set it in your box.yaml: TODO

You will need to create a vcluster template named devenv with the following contents:

storage:
  size: 50Gi

syncer:
  # Don't sync ingresses, our ingress controller will handle this, and get its own IP address
  # so we can address it via /etc/hosts
  extraArgs: ["--disable-sync-resources=ingresses"]

# This allows metrics-server to function properly
rbac:
  clusterRole:
    create: true
