Flux Getting Started Guide

1 - Kubernetes

Get a Kubernetes Cluster. In this video, I use Docker for Windows. If you are new to Kubernetes, checkout my videos here

2 - Flux CTL

I used Flux 1.18 which I got from the GitHub Release Page Rename it to fluxctl.exe & place it in a folder that is on your $env:Path environment variable. Open a new terminal and try

fluxctl

4 - Installing Flux

Make sure you are pointing to the kubernetes cluster you want to use

kubectl config current-context
kubectl get nodes

kubectl create ns flux

$GHUSER = "marcel-dempers"
fluxctl install `
--git-user=${GHUSER} `
--git-email=${GHUSER}@users.noreply.github.com `
--git-url=git@github.com:${GHUSER}/docker-development-youtube-series `
--git-path=kubernetes/configmaps,kubernetes/secrets,kubernetes/deployments `
--git-branch=flux-test `
--namespace=flux | kubectl apply -f -

kubectl -n flux rollout status deployment/flux

$env:FLUX_FORWARD_NAMESPACE = "flux"
fluxctl list-workloads
fluxctl identity
