vkdr infra

The vkdr infra commands are used to manage the single local cluster where vkdr may be able to install other tools.

vkdr infra start​

This command will start the local vkdr cluster. The vkdr cluster is a single-node k3d cluster with a few opinionated settings and optimizations.

This command will also start a pass-through local registry in port 6000. All image pulls from the vkdr cluster will be redirected to this local registry transparently, avoiding Docker Hub current limits.


This example starts the cluster with Traefik as its ingress controller exposed in 8000/8001 ports:
    
```bash
# default ports are 8000/8001
vkdr infra start --traefik

This example starts the cluster without an ingress controller, but ready to expose one in ports 80/443:

vkdr infra start --http 80 --https 443

vkdr infra stop​

This command stops the local vkdr cluster.

vkdr infra stop

vkdr infra up​

This is just a shortcut for vkdr infra start with all defaults.

# no ingress controller, default ports are 8000/8001
vkdr infra up

vkdr infra down​

This is just a shortcut for vkdr infra stop with all defaults.

# no ingress controller, default ports are 8000/8001
vkdr infra down

vkdr infra expose​

This command will expose the local vkdr cluster admin port to the internet, using a public cloudflare tunnel:

vkdr infra expose

Notice that a temporary "kubeconfig" file for this endpoint will be available at ~/.vkdr/tmp/kconfig.

warning

Please understand the risk of exposing your cluster to the internet and the potential security implications of doing so. This is a good hack for testing remote access to your cluster, but please be aware of the risks.
