How to Build and Deploy a Spring Boot Java application with Docker & Kubernetes


Pre-requisites:
Install Docker client/server
Install K8s cluster.

In the K8s Master Node.

git clone https://github.com/spring-guides/gs-spring-boot-docker


cd gs-spring-boot-docker/complete

./mvnw install -e -X # This will create a .jar file in the newely created target directory.

sudo docker build -t image-sb1 -f Dockerfile .

sudo docker images
sudo docker tag image-sb1 trow.kube-public:31000/myrepo # Tag the new image with your private registry (Optional)
sudo docker push trow.kube-public:31000/myrepo  # Push the new image to your local private registry (Optional)

kubectl run image-sb --image=trow.kube-public:31000/myrepo --port=8080

kubectl expose deployment/image-sb --type="NodePort" --port 8080

Testing:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ubuntu@namenode:~$ kubectl get svc
NAME          TYPE        CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)          AGE
kubernetes    ClusterIP   10.96.0.1               443/TCP          2d2h
image-sb   NodePort    10.102.38.118           8080:30148/TCP   18m


ubuntu@namenode:~$ curl 10.102.38.118:8080
Hello Docker World

----------------------------------------------------------------------

ubuntu@namenode:~$ kubectl get pods
NAME                           READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
image-sb-76448df777-mxwqq   1/1     Running   0          72m

The below command will get you inside the k8s pod image-sb-76448df777-mxwqq

ubuntu@namenode:~$ kubectl exec -ti image-sb-76448df777-mxwqq sh
#  wget localhost:8080
Connecting to localhost:8080 (127.0.0.1:8080)
index.html           100% |************************************************************************************************************************|    18  0:00:00 ETA
#
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are inside an aws Ec2 instance then whitelist your Public Ip for the NodePort 30148 in your k8s master node security group.


Take the url :30148 in the browser and you will see "Hello Docker World"

That is all .. Cheers :-)

K8s External Secrets integration between AWS EKS and Secrets Manager(SM) using IAM Role.

What is K8s External Secrets and how it will make your life easier? Before saying about External Secrets we will say about k8s secrets and how it will work. In k8s secrets we will create key value pairs of the secrets and set this as either pod env variables or mount them as volumes to pods. For more details about k8s secrets you can check my blog http://jinojoseph.blogspot.com/2020/08/k8s-secrets-explained.html   So in this case if developers wants to change the ENV variables , then we have to edit the k8s manifest yaml file, then we have to apply the new files to the deployment. This is a tiresome process and also chances of applying to the wrong context is high if you have multiple k8s clusters for dev / stage and Prod deployments. So in-order to make this easy , we can add all the secrets that is needed in the deployment, in the AWS Secret Manager and with the help of External secrets we can fetch and create those secrets in the k8s cluster. So what is K8s external Secret? It i...

Password reset too simplistic/systematic issue

Some time when we try to reset the password of our user in linux it will show as simple and systematic as below: BAD PASSWORD: it is too simplistic/systematic no matter how hard password you give it will show the same. Solution: ######### Check if your password is Ok with the below command, jino@ndz~$ echo 'D7y8HK#56r89lj&8*&^%&^%#56rlKJ!789l' | cracklib-check D7y8HK#56r89lj&8*&^%&^%#56rlKJ!789l: it is too simplistic/systematic Now Create a password with the below command : jino@ndz~$ echo $(tr -dc '[:graph:]' 7\xi%!W[y*S}g-H7W~gbEB4cv,9:E:K; You can see that this password will be ok with the cracklib-check. jino@ndz~$ echo '7\xi%!W[y*S}g-H7W~gbEB4cv,9:E:K;' | cracklib-check                 7\xi%!W[y*S}g-H7W~gbEB4cv,9:E:K;: OK Thats all, Thanks.

Setting /etc/hosts entries during the initial deployment of an Application using k8s yaml file

Some times we have to enter specific hosts file entries to the container running inside the POD of a kubernetes deployment during the initial deployment stage itself. If these entries are not in place, the application env variables mentioned in the yaml file , as hostnames , will not resolve to the IP address and the application will not start properly. So to make sure the /etc/hosts file entries are already there after the spin up of the POD you can add the below entries in your yaml file. cat > api-deployment.yaml apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: spec:   template:     metadata:     spec:       volumes:       containers:       - image: registryserver.jinojoseph.com:5000/jinojosephimage:v1.13         lifecycle:           postStart:             exec:               command:...
