System Requirements | Lifecycle | Interacting with Services |

Getting Started

1. Download the latest release for your platform and install the devenv binary to /usr/local/bin/:

tar xvf devenv_**_**.tar.gz
mv devenv /usr/local/bin/

# Linux/WSL2 optional: allow your user to update the devenv
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $(command -v devenv)

1. (macOS only) Ensure the devenv binary is authorized to run.

xattr -c $(command -v devenv)

1. Follow the instructions for your platform in the detailed system requirements docs

Defining a Box

TODO. See gobox/pkg/box for the spec.

Creating the Developer Environment

To create a developer environment, run:

devenv provision

Next there's a manual step that you'll need to do. You'll need to add a KUBECONFIG environment variable, this can be done by adding the line below to your shellrc (generally ~/.zshrc or ~/.zsh_profile or ~/.bashrc):

NOTE: For Outreach developers this step is already completed by orc.

# Add the dev-environment to our kube config
export KUBECONFIG="$HOME/.kube/config:$HOME/.outreach/kubeconfig.yaml"

You now have a developer environment provisioned!

FAQ

Using different drivers

The devenv supports different kubernetes runtime drivers, below are the instructions for each driver

KinD

This should work out of the box!

storage:
  size: 50Gi

syncer:
  # Don't sync ingresses, our ingress controller will handle this, and get its own IP address
  # so we can address it via /etc/hosts
  extraArgs: ["--disable-sync-resources=ingresses"]

# This allows metrics-server to function properly
