Install Ingress APISIX on Minikube

This document explains how to install Ingress APISIX on Minikube.

Prerequisites#

  • Install Minikube.
  • Install Helm.
  • Clone Apache APISIX Charts.
  • Make sure your target namespace exists, kubectl operations thorough this document will be executed in namespace ingress-apisix.

Install APISIX and apisix-ingress-controller#

As the data plane of apisix-ingress-controller, Apache APISIX can be deployed at the same time using Helm chart.

cd /path/to/apisix-helm-chart
helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
helm repo update
kubectl create ns ingress-apisix
helm install apisix charts/apisix \
  --set gateway.type=NodePort \
  --set ingress-controller.enabled=true \
  --namespace ingress-apisix
kubectl get service --namespace ingress-apisix

Five Service resources were created.

  • apisix-gateway, which processes the real traffic;
  • apisix-admin, which acts as the control plane to process all the configuration changes.
  • apisix-ingress-controller, which exposes apisix-ingress-controller's metrics.
  • apisix-etcd and apisix-etcd-headless for etcd service and internal communication.

Now try to create some resources to verify the running of Ingress APISIX. As a minimalist example, see proxy-the-httpbin-service to learn how to apply resources to drive the apisix-ingress-controller.
