Development

A Development guide for redis operator

Pre-requisites
Access to Kubernetes cluster
First of all, you will need access to a Kubernetes cluster. The easiest way to start is minikube.
​Virtualbox - hypervisor to run a Kubernetes cluster
​Minikube - for Kubernetes cluster creation on local machine
​Kubectl - to interact with Kubernetes cluster
Tools to build an Operator
Apart from kubernetes cluster, there are some tools which are needed to build and test the redis operator.
Required Tools:-
​Git​
​Go​
​Docker​
​Operator SDK​
​Make​
Build Locally
To achieve this, execute this command:-
make build
Build Image
Redis operator gets packaged as a container image for running on the Kubernetes cluster. These instructions will guide you to build an image.
make build-image
Testing
If you want to play it on Kubernetes. You can use a minikube.
# Start minikube
minikube start --vm-driver virtualbox
​
# Deploy the image on minikube
helm upgrade redis-cluster ./helm/redis-setup \
    --set redisSetup.setupMode="cluster" \
    --set redisSetup.clusterSize=3 \
    --install --namespace redis-operator
Run Tests
make test
