### How to run minikube in github acitons ?
you can add [setup-minikube](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/setup-minikube) as a step in your workflow.
To install and start a minikube cluster, add the following step to your [github action workflow](https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/configuring-a-workflow).
```yaml
steps:
-name:start minikube
id:minikube
uses:medyagh/setup-minikube@master
```
## Full example: build image and deploy to minikube on each PR
Required :
- a valid Dockerfile
- a valid deployment.yaml (make sure image pull policy is set to never see bellow for example
- Copy the yaml to `.github/workflows/pr.yml` in your github repo.
- Make a PR to your repo and see the result in github actions.
```yaml
name:CI
on:
-pull_request
jobs:
job1:
runs-on:ubuntu-latest
name:build example and deploy to minikbue
steps:
-uses:actions/checkout@v2
-name:Start minikube
uses:medyagh/setup-minikube@master
-name:Try the cluster !
run:kubectl get pods -A
-name:Build image
run:|
export SHELL=/bin/bash
eval $(minikube -p minikube docker-env)
docker build -f ./Dockerfile -t local/example1 .
echo -n "verifying images:"
docker images
-name:Deploy to minikube
run:
kubectl apply -f deploy-to-minikube.yaml
-name:Test service URLs
run:|
minikube service list
minikube service example --url
echo "------------------opening the service------------------"
curl $(minikube service example --url)/version
```
In this example, the above workflow yaml, will do the following steps on each coming PR:
1- Checks out the the source code
2- Installs and starts minikube
3- Trying out the cluster just by running kubectl get pods -A
4- Build the docker image using minikube's docker-env feature
