kubectl apply -f config.yaml --namespace <ONELIST_NAMESPACE>

3. Create the Secrete for pulling OneList images

Replace placeholders in the command below and run it.

kubectl create secret docker-registry iqx.acr --docker-server=https://iqxbusiness.azurecr.io --docker-username=<ACR_USERNAME> --docker-password=<ACR_PASSWORD> --docker-email=<YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS> --namespace <ONELIST_NAMESPACE>

4. Deploy OneList containers for the apps and services

Run the 2 commands below.

kubectl apply -f onelist6-deployment.yaml --namespace <ONELIST_NAMESPACE>

kubectl apply -f onelist6-service.yaml --namespace <ONELIST_NAMESPACE>

5. Create Nginx ingress service

Run the 2 commands below.

kubectl create -f ingress-nginx-controller.yaml

kubectl create -f onelist6-ingress.yaml --namespace <ONELIST_NAMESPACE>

6. Create the TLS secrete

Run the command below.

kubectl create secret tls tls.onelist --cert <SSL_CERTIFICATE_FILE> --key <PRIVATE_KEY_FILE> --namespace ingress-nginx

7. Create the administrator user account
