Getting started with PingDirectory on Kubernetes
Before you begin
- PingDirectory
-
-
Download and install the Docker image for PingDirectory from the Ping Identity PingDirectory Docker Image page.
-
Get a PingDirectory license from the License Key Request Form (requires authentication).
-
- Docker
-
Download and install Docker Desktop. Learn more in Install Docker Desktop on Mac in the Docker documentation.
About this task
Follow these steps to run PingDirectory in a Kubernetes container on a MacOS system.
Steps
-
Launch Docker and enable Kubernetes in Docker. Learn more in Sign in to Docker Desktop and Install and turn on Kubernetes in the Docker documentation.
-
Verify that Kubernetes is running. Learn more in Deploy on Kubernetes with Docker Desktop in the Docker documentation.
Example:
$ kubectl version Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"10", GitVersion:"v1.10.3", GitCommit:"2bba0127d85d5a46ab4b778548be28623b32d0b0", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2018-05-21T09:17:39Z", GoVersion:"go1.9.3", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"darwin/amd64"} Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"10", GitVersion:"v1.10.3", GitCommit:"2bba0127d85d5a46ab4b778548be28623b32d0b0", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2018-05-21T09:05:37Z", GoVersion:"go1.9.3", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
-
Confirm that the Kubernetes context is set to your local desktop.
Kubernetes has contexts that allow you to manage different Kubernetes cluster environments. By default, when you enable Kubernetes on Docker Desktop, Kubernetes creates a local context.
Example:
$ kubectl config current-context docker-desktop
-
Create a dashboard to manage your Kubernetes cluster. Learn more in Deploy and Access the Kubernetes Dashboard in the Kubernetes documentation.
Example:
$ kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/src/deploy/recommended/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml secret "kubernetes-dashboard-certs" created serviceaccount "kubernetes-dashboard" created role.rbac.authorization.k8s.io "kubernetes-dashboard-minimal" created rolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io "kubernetes-dashboard-minimal" created deployment.apps "kubernetes-dashboard" created service "kubernetes-dashboard" created
-
Verify that the dashboard has started.
Example:
$ kubectl get pods --namespace=kube-system NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE etcd-docker-desktop 1/1 Running 1 13d kube-apiserver-docker-desktop 1/1 Running 1 13d kube-controller-manager-docker-desktop 1/1 Running 1 13d kube-dns-86f4d74b45-d72qr 3/3 Running 0 13d kube-proxy-2ntt5 1/1 Running 0 13d kube-scheduler-docker-desktop 1/1 Running 1 13d kubernetes-dashboard-7d5dcdb6d9-qqxn9 1/1 Running 0 9m
-
To enable browsing to the dashboard, set up forwarding from the Kubernetes host to the container port.
Example:
$ kubectl port-forward kubernetes-dashboard-7d5dcdb6d9-qqxn9 8443:8443 --namespace=kube-system Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8443 -> 8443 Forwarding from [::1]:8443 -> 8443
-
In a browser window, go to the dashboard at https://localhost:8443/.
-
In Kubernetes, create a PingDirectory configmap. Learn more about creating a configmap in the Kubernetes documentation.
Example:
$ kubectl create configmap ping-directory-config --from-file=/path/to/PingDirectory.lic configmap "ping-directory-config" created
