Using a Local Registry with Minikube

Install a local Registry

These instructions include running a local registry accessible from Kubernetes as well as from the host development machine at registry.dev.svc.cluster.local:5000.

Use the docker CLI to run the registry:2 container from Docker, listening on port 5000, and persisting images in the ~/.registry/storage directory.

A Bash script for Debian/Ubuntu-based systems that will install Docker (if not already installed) and configure it to use a specified directory (presumably on your mounted external drive) for storing containers, images, volumes, etc.

Important Considerations BEFORE Running:

External Drive MUST be Mounted: This script assumes your external drive is already mounted before you run the script. It does not handle mounting the drive itself.
Persistent Mount: For Docker to start correctly after a reboot, the external drive must be mounted persistently (e.g., via an entry in /etc/fstab) at the same path every time.
Backup: If you have existing Docker data in /var/lib/docker and it's important, BACK IT UP before running this script. The script attempts to move existing data, but failures can happen.
Root Privileges: You need to run this script with sudo.
Distribution: This script is tailored for Debian/Ubuntu. The package manager (apt), repository s

Serve a local directory of static assets - using one-line solutions and no scripts

The first solution uses an IDE extension, while the rest involve using the command-line (intended for macOS and Linux, but they will hopefully work on Windows too).

VSCode + Dev Containers and Toolbx/Distrobox setup for Fedora Silverblue

PLEASE NOTE:

I personally don't use Flatpak VSCode anymore, since I switched from Fedora Silverblue to Universal Blue's project Bluefin-DX. I'll leave the instructions here for those who want them, but be aware that Flatpak VSCode instructions won't be maintained anymore.

Steps

If you prefer VSCode Flatpak

Install VSCode Flatpak from Flathub:

Ubuntu Dev Setup Script

I tend to setup and teardown my dev environments quite frequently. So I have created this setup.sh script to automate setting up the dev environment with my preferences.

This script -

Installs curl, git, net-tools, and tree.
Installs build-essential package which installs gcc, g++ and some other libs.
Installs the latest openjdk and maven.
Installs python3 and some required libraries (I use them pretty often).
Installs nodejs 12 globally. Then installs Node Version Manager and installs all LTS versions.
