Install Bahmni on Kubernetes Minikube for Development
This document outlines running bahmni kubernetes cluster using minikube for local development. Minikube in general is not recomeded for Production usage (while technically possible) - for the biggest reason that it runs a single node kubernetes cluster and would result in a single point of failure (even if it could handle managing and scaling pods).
Prerequisite Knowledge:
- Docker: Getting started
- Kubernetes components
- Understand Minikube
- Helm Quick Start
Setup
You can also run minikube without using docker. Look here.
Start minikube with decent resources
you should see
Enable Ingress
Ingress would act as a controller to route between various applicaitons
minikube addons enable ingress
Add nginx ingress host entry to etc host
MacOS / Linux
Windows
Press the Windows key.
Type Notepad in the search field.
In the search results, right-click Notepad and select Run as administrator.
From Notepad, open the following file:
c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
Make the necessary changes to the file.
Select File > Save to save your changes.Run minikube tunnel in separate terminal
minikube tunnel runs as a process, creating a network route on the host to the service CIDR of the cluster using the cluster’s IP address as a gateway. The tunnel command exposes the external IP directly to any program running on the host operating system.
sudo minikube tunnel --alsologtostderr -v=1
Run this in a separate terminal and keep it open
Running MySQL DB Server
To uninstall or delete use
Running Database setup helm chart
helm install db-setup db-setup --repo https://bahmni.github.io/helm-charts --devel --wait --wait-for-jobs --atomic --timeout 1m \
--set DB_HOST=openmrsdb \
--set DB_ROOT_USERNAME=root \
--set DB_ROOT_PASSWORD=root \
--set databases.openmrs.DB_NAME=openmrs \
--set databases.openmrs.USERNAME=openmrs-user \
--set databases.openmrs.PASSWORD=password \
--set databases.crater.DB_NAME=crater \
--set databases.crater.USERNAME=crater-user \
--set databases.crater.PASSWORD=password \
--set databases.reports.DB_NAME=bahmni_reports \
--set databases.reports.USERNAME=reports-user \
--set databases.reports.PASSWORD=passwordThis command takes a while to complete. Once it is completed run the following command to remove database root credentials from the cluster.
helm uninstall db-setupYou can connect to your local mysql db using
followed by
Installing bahmni cluster using Helm-Umbrella Chart
Clone the helm-umbrella-chart repository and run below commands on your terminal (read the notes below if you need to toggle on/off certain services in the cluster)
helm dependency update
helm upgrade bahmni-local . --values=values/local.yaml --install- Toggle on the services in local.yaml based on your local setup requirements. Add any missing environment variables either in local.yaml or --set. Check helm upgrade ... for list of variable needed by each service.
- To uninstall a release use helm uninstall [release name] which will uninstall all the resources under that release e.g. helm uninstall db-setup
- Minikube runs in a VM (such as docker) and wont see your local built docker images. If you need to use your local docker images to be picked up while provisioning the pods on minikube you can use eval $(minikube docker-env) to actually configure your environment to utilise minikube's docker daemon for docker images. docs
