Using werf to build and deploy on your localhost requires to setup the following components:

 .-----------------------------------------.
 |          Kubernetes (minikube)          |
 |                                         |
 |  .-------------.                        |
 |  | rc/registry |<-----( kubelet pull )  |
 |  '-------------'                        |
 |         `---------.                     |
 |                   |                     |
 |         .-----------------------.       |
 |         | service/werf-registry |       |
 |         '-----------------------'       |
 |                   |                     |
 '-------------------|---------------------'
                     |    .-----------------------------.
                     '----|   proxy localhost:5000 to   |
                          |    service/werf-registry    |<-----( werf push --repo :minikube )
                          |  with kubectl port-forward  |
                          '-----------------------------'
  1. Install minikube.

  2. Start minikube:

    minikube start

  3. Enable minikube registry addon:

    minikube addons enable registry

  4. Run custom werf-registry service with the binding to 5000 port:

    kubectl -n kube-system expose rc/registry --type=ClusterIP --port=5000 --target-port=5000 --name=werf-registry --selector='actual-registry=true'

  5. Setup registry domain in minikube VM:

    export REGISTRY_IP=$(kubectl -n kube-system get svc/werf-registry -o=template={{.spec.clusterIP}})
minikube ssh "echo '$REGISTRY_IP werf-registry.kube-system.svc.cluster.local' | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts"

  6. Setup registry domain in host system:

    echo "127.0.0.1 werf-registry.kube-system.svc.cluster.local" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

  7. Run port forwarder on host system in a separate terminal:

    kubectl port-forward --namespace kube-system service/werf-registry 5000

  8. Check connectivity on host system:

    curl -X GET werf-registry.kube-system.svc.cluster.local:5000/v2/_catalog
