Hello world
Now we have our single node Kubernetes cluster up and running, using Minikube we can look at launching a service. We will start off using the dashboard before moving on to the command-line client.
The dashboard
Each installation of Minikube comes with a web-based dashboard. This can be accessed by running minikube dashboard, which immediately opens the dashboard in your default browser:
Clicking on the + CREATE button, which can be found on the top-left of the page, will take you to a form that will let you deploy a containerized application.
On the Deploy a Containerized App page, you will find several options. Keeping the Specify app details below option enabled, fill them in as follows:
- App name:
dashboard-hello-world - Container image:
nginx:latest - Number of pods:
1 - Service:
External - Port:
8080 - Target port:
80 - Protocol:
TCP
For our purposes, we do not need to fill in any of the options that can be found under SHOW ADVANCED OPTIONS. Just click on the DEPLOY button at the bottom of the form...
