Run the installer script from the root directory of this repo:
Mac/Linux:
./install-knative.sh
Windows:
.\install-knative.ps1
This script will install Contour as our ingress controller, and Knative as a serverless runtime.
For a personal computer install, we set Contour to use a ClusterIP endpoint because there will not be a LoadBalancer available. Whenever you want to access applications using Contour ingress, you will need a port forward to send localhost traffic to envoy.
Execute the following command in a separate terminal session or tab, and leave it running:
kubectl port-forward svc/envoy 8080:80 -n projectcontour
To simplify DNS, we set our Knative DNS Domain to 127-0-0-1.nip.io. This will automatically route requests to localhost, where your port forward will send them to Contour:
You can verify everything works so far by creating a Knative service:
kn service create helloworld-go --image gcr.io/knative-samples/helloworld-go
When the service is available, you should be able to access it in your browser through the port-forward: http://helloworld-go.default.127-0-0-1.nip.io:8080
As long as the port-forward is running, requests to your browser will find their way to the ingress controller on your cluster, which in turn will forward them to your application.
