## KinD

Kubernetes in Docker, KinD allows you to quickly build kubernetes clusters in docker. You can also build from source.

go get sigs.k8s.io/kind # Will need to be in path
git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes.git

cd kubernetes
git tag|grep v1.20.5
# v1.20.5
# v1.20.5-rc.0
git checkout v1.20.5

kind build node-image --image=v1.20.5 --kube-root=~/playground/kubernetes

# Create image
kind create cluster --name v1.20.5 --image=v1.20.5

# Or, more complex
kind create cluster --name v1.20.5 --image=v1.20.5 --config configs/kind_basic.yaml

# To delete the cluster
kind delete --name v1.20.5  cluster

# Example of loading images into KinD
kind --name v1.20.5 load docker-image memcached-operator:v0.0.1

Here's a link to
[configs/kind_basic.yaml](https://github.com/mchirico/k8s/blob/main/configs/kind_basic.yaml)

## Kubebuilder

Yes, you'll want to install both.

os=$(go env GOOS)
arch=$(go env GOARCH)

# download kubebuilder and extract it to tmp
curl -L https://go.kubebuilder.io/dl/2.3.1/${os}/${arch} | tar -xz -C /tmp/

# move to a long-term location and put it on your path
# (you'll need to set the KUBEBUILDER_ASSETS env var if you put it somewhere else)
sudo mv /tmp/kubebuilder_2.3.1_${os}_${arch} /usr/local/kubebuilder
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/kubebuilder/bin

This will give you the following:

ls /usr/local/kubebuilder/bin/
etcd		kube-apiserver	kubebuilder	kubectl
