Digital Ocean

As a start, read the introduction into kubernetes by the folks at Digital Ocean. The following section should enable you to deploy Human Connection to your kubernetes cluster.

Connect to your local cluster

1. Create a cluster at Digital Ocean.

2. Download the ***-kubeconfig.yaml from the Web UI.

3. Move the file to the default location where kubectl expects it to be: mv ***-kubeconfig.yaml ~/.kube/config. Alternatively you can set the config on every command: --kubeconfig ***-kubeconfig.yaml

4. Now check if you can connect to the cluster and if its your newly created one by running: kubectl get nodes

The output should look about like this:

$ kubectl get nodes
NAME                  STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION
nifty-driscoll-uu1w   Ready    <none>   69d   v1.13.2
nifty-driscoll-uuiw   Ready    <none>   69d   v1.13.2
nifty-driscoll-uusn   Ready    <none>   69d   v1.13.2

If you got the steps right above and see your nodes you can continue.

Digital Ocean kubernetes clusters don't have a graphical interface, so I suggest to setup the kubernetes dashboard as a next step. Configuring HTTPS is bit tricky and therefore I suggest to do this as a last step.
