Setting up a Kubernetes cluster

Introduction​

This guide is helpful in setting up a development environment intended to be used with odo; this setup is not recommended for a production environment.

odo can be used with ANY Kubernetes cluster. However, this development environment will ensure complete coverage of all features of odo.

Requirements​

  • You have a Kubernetes cluster set up (such as minikube)
  • You have admin privileges to the cluster

Important notes: odo will use the default storage provisioning on your cluster. If it have not been set correctly, see our troubleshooting guide for more details.

Troubleshooting​

Confirming your Storage Provisioning functionality​

odo deploys with Persistent Volume Claims. By default, when you install a StorageClass such as GlusterFS, it will not be set as the default.

You must set it as the default storage provisioner by modifying the annotation your StorageClass:

kubectl get StorageClass -A
kubectl edit StorageClass/YOUR-STORAGE-CLASS -n YOUR-NAMESPACE

And add the following annotation:

annotation:
  storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class: "true"
