Option 2: HTTP Only (Basic Setup)

# Deploy without HTTPS
kubectl apply -k infrastructure/kubernetes/overlays/dev/

Kind Configuration for Permanent Localhost Access

The kind-config.yaml file in the root directory provides permanent localhost access without port forwarding:

kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
name: bakery-ia-local
nodes:
- role: control-plane
  kubeadmConfigPatches:
  - |
    kind: InitConfiguration
    nodeRegistration:
      kubeletExtraArgs:
        node-labels: "ingress-ready=true"
  extraPortMappings:
  # HTTP ingress
  - containerPort: 30080
    hostPort: 80
    protocol: TCP
  # HTTPS ingress
  - containerPort: 30443
    hostPort: 443
    protocol: TCP
  # Direct frontend access (backup)
  - containerPort: 30300
    hostPort: 3000
    protocol: TCP
  # Direct gateway access (backup)
  - containerPort: 30800
    hostPort: 8000
    protocol: TCP

This configuration maps:

• Port 80 → localhost:80 (HTTP)
• Port 443 → localhost:443 (HTTPS)
• Port 3000 → localhost:3000 (Direct frontend)
• Port 8000 → localhost:8000 (Direct gateway)

🚀 Quick Start (macOS with Kind + Colima)

1. Start Colima and Create Kind Cluster with Permanent Localhost Access

# Start Colima with proper resources for development
colima start --cpu 4 --memory 8 --disk 100 --runtime docker --profile k8s-local

# Create Kind cluster with permanent port mapping for localhost access
kind create cluster --config kind-config.yaml

# Verify cluster is running and port mappings
kubectl cluster-info
docker port bakery-ia-local-control-plane

The kind-config.yaml configuration provides permanent localhost access on ports 80 and 443 without requiring port forwarding!

2. Install NGINX Ingress Controller for Kind

# Install NGINX Ingress Controller (Kind-specific with permanent localhost access)
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/main/deploy/static/provider/kind/deploy.yaml

# Wait for ingress controller to be ready
kubectl wait --namespace ingress-nginx \
  --for=condition=ready pod \
  --selector=app.kubernetes.io/component=controller \
  --timeout=300s

# Configure ingress controller for permanent localhost access
kubectl patch svc ingress-nginx-controller -n ingress-nginx -p '{"spec":{"type":"NodePort","ports":[{"name":"http","port":80,"targetPort":"http","nodePort":30080},{"name":"https","port":443,"targetPort":"https","nodePort":30443}]}}'

3. Deploy with Skaffold (No Port Forwarding Required!)

# Option A: Development mode with auto-rebuild (Recommended)
skaffold dev --profile=dev

# Option B: One-time deployment
skaffold run --profile=dev

# Option C: Debug mode (still includes port forwarding for individual services)
skaffold debug --profile=debug

# Check deployment status
kubectl get pods -n bakery-ia
kubectl get services -n bakery-ia
kubectl get ingress -n bakery-ia

Note: With the new configuration, skaffold no longer needs port forwarding for frontend access since localhost:80 and localhost:443 are permanently mapped!

4. Access the Application - Permanent Localhost Access! 🎉

No /etc/hosts modification needed! The application is now accessible directly via standard localhost URLs:

Primary Access (Recommended):

• Frontend: http://localhost or https://localhost
• API Gateway: http://localhost/api or https://localhost/api

Named Host Access (Optional): If you prefer named hosts, add to your /etc/hosts file:

echo "127.0.0.1 bakery-ia.local" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.0.1 api.bakery-ia.local" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.0.1 monitoring.bakery-ia.local" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

Then access via:

• Frontend: http://bakery-ia.local or https://bakery-ia.local
• API Gateway: http://api.bakery-ia.local or https://api.bakery-ia.local
• Monitoring: http://monitoring.bakery-ia.local or https://monitoring.bakery-ia.local

🔒 HTTPS Configuration (FREE with Let's Encrypt)

Automated HTTPS Setup

The quickest way to enable HTTPS is using the automated setup script:

# Run the automated HTTPS setup script
./setup-https.sh

This script will:

• ✅ Install cert-manager (FREE Let's Encrypt client)
• ✅ Install NGINX Ingress Controller
• ✅ Set up cluster issuers (staging, production, and local CA)
• ✅ Deploy your application with HTTPS support
• ✅ Generate and configure TLS certificates
• ✅ Export CA certificate for browser trust

Manual HTTPS Setup

If you prefer manual setup:

1. Install cert-manager

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.13.2/cert-manager.yaml
kubectl wait --for=condition=ready pod -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=cert-manager -n cert-manager --timeout=300s

2. Install NGINX Ingress Controller for Kind

kubectl apply -f https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/examples/ingress/deploy-ingress-nginx.yaml
kubectl wait --namespace ingress-nginx --for=condition=ready pod --selector=app.kubernetes.io/component=controller --timeout=300s

3. Apply Certificate Issuers

kubectl apply -f infrastructure/kubernetes/base/components/cert-manager/cluster-issuer-staging.yaml
kubectl apply -f infrastructure/kubernetes/base/components/cert-manager/local-ca-issuer.yaml
kubectl apply -f infrastructure/kubernetes/base/components/cert-manager/cluster-issuer-production.yaml

4. Deploy with HTTPS

kubectl apply -k infrastructure/kubernetes/overlays/dev/
kubectl patch ingress bakery-ingress -n bakery-ia --patch-file infrastructure/kubernetes/overlays/dev/ingress-https-patch.yaml

5. Export CA Certificate for Browser Trust

kubectl get secret local-ca-key-pair -n cert-manager -o jsonpath='{.data.tls\.crt}' | base64 -d > bakery-ia-ca.crt

Access HTTPS Application

After HTTPS setup:

• 🔐 Frontend: https://bakery-ia.local
• 🔐 API Gateway: https://api.bakery-ia.local
• 🔐 Monitoring: https://monitoring.bakery-ia.local

Trust the CA Certificate

For macOS:

open bakery-ia-ca.crt
# In Keychain Access, find "bakery-ia-local-ca" and set to "Always Trust"

For Linux:

sudo cp bakery-ia-ca.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
sudo update-ca-certificates

Certificate Management Commands

# Check certificate status
kubectl get certificates -n bakery-ia

# Check certificate details
kubectl describe certificate bakery-ia-tls-cert -n bakery-ia

# Check cluster issuers
kubectl get clusterissuers

# Check TLS secret
kubectl get secret bakery-ia-tls-cert -n bakery-ia

Switching to Production Let's Encrypt

To use real Let's Encrypt certificates (requires public domain):

1. Update the cluster issuer in ingress-https-patch.yaml:

cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: "letsencrypt-production"  # Change from local-ca-issuer

2. Update email in cluster issuers to your real email
3. Ensure your domain points to your cluster's external IP

Cleanup HTTPS Setup

# Run cleanup script
./cleanup-https.sh

# Or manually clean up
kubectl delete -k infrastructure/kubernetes/overlays/dev/
kubectl delete -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.13.2/cert-manager.yaml
rm -f bakery-ia-ca.crt

Port Forwarding for Direct Access

If you prefer to access services directly without ingress:

# Frontend
kubectl port-forward -n bakery-ia svc/frontend-service 3000:3000

# Gateway
kubectl port-forward -n bakery-ia svc/gateway-service 8000:8000

# Auth Service
kubectl port-forward -n bakery-ia svc/auth-service 8001:8000

# Redis
kubectl port-forward -n bakery-ia svc/redis-service 6379:6379

# Database example (auth-db)
kubectl port-forward -n bakery-ia svc/auth-db-service 5432:5432

Managing the Deployment

Check Status

# Check all resources
kubectl get all -n bakery-ia

# Check specific resource types
kubectl get pods -n bakery-ia
kubectl get services -n bakery-ia
kubectl get deployments -n bakery-ia
kubectl get pvc -n bakery-ia

# Check logs
kubectl logs -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-service
kubectl logs -n bakery-ia deployment/frontend -f  # Follow logs

Update Deployments

# After making changes to manifests
kubectl apply -k infrastructure/kubernetes/overlays/dev/

# Force restart a deployment
kubectl rollout restart -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-service

# Check rollout status
kubectl rollout status -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-service

Scaling Services

# Scale a service
kubectl scale -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-service --replicas=3

# Or edit the kustomization.yaml replicas section and reapply

Clean Up (macOS + Kind + Colima + Skaffold)

# Option 1: Quick cleanup (development session)
skaffold delete --profile=dev

# Option 2: Clean up HTTPS setup
./cleanup-https.sh

# Option 3: Complete cleanup (everything)
./complete-cleanup.sh

# Option 4: Manual cleanup steps
kubectl delete namespace bakery-ia
kind delete cluster --name bakery-ia-local
colima stop --profile k8s-local

📖 For detailed cleanup options, see CLEANUP-GUIDE.md

Configuration

Secrets

The secrets.yaml file contains base64-encoded secrets. For production, these should be:

1. Generated securely
2. Managed through external secret management systems
3. Not committed to version control

To encode/decode secrets:

# Encode
echo -n "your-secret-value" | base64

# Decode
echo "eW91ci1zZWNyZXQtdmFsdWU=" | base64 -d

Environment-Specific Configuration

Modify the overlays/dev/ files to customize the development environment:

• kustomization.yaml: Image tags, replicas, resource references
• dev-patches.yaml: Environment-specific configuration overrides

Adding New Services

1. Create a new directory under components/
2. Add the service YAML manifest
3. Update base/kustomization.yaml to include the new resource
4. Update configuration maps and secrets as needed

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Images not found: Ensure images are built and available to the cluster
2. Pending pods: Check resource requests and cluster capacity
3. CrashLoopBackOff: Check logs and environment variables
4. Service not accessible: Verify ingress controller is running and localhost ports are mapped
5. Database corruption: If PostgreSQL databases show "could not locate a valid checkpoint record", delete the PVC and restart the pod to get fresh storage
6. Port conflicts: If localhost:80 or localhost:443 are already in use, stop other services or change the Kind configuration
7. HTTPS certificate not issued: Check cert-manager logs and cluster issuer status
8. Browser security warnings: Import and trust the CA certificate (bakery-ia-ca.crt)
9. Certificate pending: Wait for cert-manager to issue the certificate (usually takes 30-60 seconds)
10. Kustomize deprecation warnings: Fixed - using modern patches syntax instead of deprecated patchesStrategicMerge and patchesJson6902

Database Recovery Commands

If you encounter database corruption (common after improper cluster shutdown):

# Check which databases are failing
kubectl get pods -n bakery-ia | grep -E "(db|CrashLoopBackOff)"

# For each corrupted database (example with inventory-db):
kubectl delete pod -n bakery-ia -l app.kubernetes.io/name=inventory-db
kubectl delete pvc -n bakery-ia inventory-db-pvc

# The deployment will automatically recreate with fresh storage
# Repeat for pos-db-pvc and training-db-pvc if needed

Debugging Commands

# Describe resources for detailed information
kubectl describe pod -n bakery-ia <pod-name>
kubectl describe deployment -n bakery-ia <deployment-name>

# Get events
kubectl get events -n bakery-ia --sort-by='.firstTimestamp'

# Execute commands in pods
kubectl exec -n bakery-ia -it <pod-name> -- bash
kubectl exec -n bakery-ia -it <pod-name> -- env

# Check resource usage
kubectl top pods -n bakery-ia
kubectl top nodes

# HTTPS/Certificate debugging
kubectl logs -n cert-manager deployment/cert-manager
kubectl describe clusterissuer letsencrypt-staging
kubectl describe certificate bakery-ia-tls-cert -n bakery-ia
kubectl get challenges -n bakery-ia
kubectl get certificaterequests -n bakery-ia

Production Considerations

For production deployment, consider:

1. Resource Limits: Set appropriate CPU and memory limits
2. Persistent Volumes: Use proper storage classes for databases
3. Secrets Management: Use external secret management (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, etc.)
4. Monitoring: Deploy Prometheus and Grafana
5. Backup: Implement database backup strategies
6. High Availability: Use multiple replicas and anti-affinity rules
7. Security: Network policies, RBAC, pod security policies
8. TLS/HTTPS: Use production Let's Encrypt certificates for public domains
9. CI/CD: Integrate with your deployment pipeline

Next Steps

1. Add monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana
2. Implement proper logging with ELK stack or similar
3. Add health checks and metrics endpoints
4. Implement automated testing
5. Set up CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments

Pre-Restart Shutdown Sequence:

1. Stop Skaffold:

If running interactively: Ctrl+C

If running in background:

pkill -f skaffold

2. Delete Kind cluster: kind delete cluster --name bakery-ia-local

3. Stop Colima: colima stop

Post-Restart Startup Sequence:

1. Start Colima: colima start

2. Create Kind cluster: kind create cluster --config kind-config.yaml --name bakery-ia-local

3. Start Skaffold with dev profile: skaffold dev -p dev

What Skaffold Will Do:

• Check existing Docker images (tagged as :dev)
• Skip rebuilds if source code unchanged
• Load images to new Kind cluster
• Deploy using infrastructure/kubernetes/overlays/dev
• Watch for changes and hot-reload

The -p dev profile ensures consistent tagging and deployment configuration as defined in your skaffold.yaml profiles section.
