Setup the Azure log in with kubectl by executing this command: az aks get-credentials --resource-group <Azure_Resource_Group> --name <Azure_Kubernetes_Service>

Deployment steps

Open a command prompt from the folder that contains the YAML deployment files. Flow steps below to deploy OneList.

1. Create the Kubernetes namespace

Run the command below to create the namespace in Kubernetes, e.g. onelist.

kubectl create namespace <ONELIST_NAMESPACE>

2. Create ConfigMap and Secret

RoleManager__MachineKey
The value is the generated machine key.
Database__ConnectionString
The value is the SQL Server connection string. The name of the databases will be automatically specified by the services.
Smtp__UserName
Smtp__Password
ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT
The value specifies the environment. It can be one of the following Production, Dev, QA.
Smtp__From
This is the sender email address of notifications from OneList
Smtp__Host
This is the SMTP server OneList use to send notifications.
Smtp__Port
This is the port of SMTP server.
Smtp__UseSsl

Save the "config.yaml" file then run the command below.

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
