Configure local Kubernetes
Requirements
To use Garden to deploy to and test in a local Kubernetes cluster like Minikube or k3s you'll need one installed. If you don't have one check out our guide on installing local Kubernetes.
Provider configuration
The local-kubernetes
provider attempts to automatically detect which flavor of local Kubernetes is installed, and set the appropriate context for connecting to the local Kubernetes instance. So the only configuration you need is this:
If you happen to have installed both Minikube and a version of Docker for Mac with Kubernetes support enabled, garden
will choose whichever one is configured as the current context in your kubectl
configuration. If neither is set as the current context, the first available context is used.
You can always override this by configuring it explicitly in your project-level config as follows:
Now you can start adding actions for deploying K8s resources, installing Helm charts, running tests, and more in your local cluster.
