Develop KubeVela with VelaD

It's easy to use VelaD to get a local KubeVela development environment. This document will show you how to create a KubeVela controller (vela-core) development environment.

Prerequisites

1. No need for preparing a cluster. VelaD will take care of the cluster.
2. Other tools you need is listed in contribution guide.

Note the second item "Kubernetes ..." is NOT needed. If you want to use cluster already exist as develop environment, please check this doc directly

3. Docker (If you are using macOS or Windows)

Steps

1. Setup Cluster and Helm Chart

velad install --set admissionWebhooks.enabled=false --set replicaCount=0

This command setup k3d/k3s cluster and install vela-core with no running controller.

2. Run Vela Core

export KUBECONFIG=$(velad kubeconfig --host)
make core-run

This command will run KubeVela controller locally. There you go! you already have a KubeVela development environment.
