Sushi Gateway Helm Chart - Minikube Installation Guide

Welcome to the Getting Started guide for Sushi Gateway! This guide will help you set up Sushi Gateway quickly when deploying onto a Minikube cluster. In just a few steps, you'll have a working API Gateway to manage and secure your APIs.

Prerequisites

Before installing Sushi Gateway on Minikube, ensure you have the following installed:

• Minikube
• Helm
• kubectl

Installation Steps

1. Start Minikube Cluster

First, start your Minikube cluster with adequate resources:

minikube start --cpus=4 --memory=8192 --driver=docker

Verify your cluster is running:

minikube status
kubectl get nodes

2. Install Sushi Gateway Helm Chart

Navigate to the chart directory and install the Sushi Gateway:

cd k8s/charts/minikube
helm upgrade --install --debug sushi-gateway .

This will:

• Deploy all Sushi Gateway components
• Create necessary Kubernetes resources
• Create configuration JSON file based on the content in files/config.json
• Start your cluster 😃

3. Expose Services with Minikube Tunnel

In a new terminal, run the Minikube tunnel to expose services:

minikube tunnel

Keep this terminal open while using the gateway.

4. Verify Installation

Check deployed services:

kubectl get svc

Look for the EXTERNAL-IP column in the output. You should see services like:

• sushi-gateway-proxy (ports 8008, 8443, 8081)
• sushi-gateway-manager (port 5173)

5. Access Sushi Gateway Components

Use the following endpoints to access different components:

Component	URL Format	Default Ports
Manager UI	http://<EXTERNAL-IP>:5173	5173
Proxy HTTP	http://<EXTERNAL-IP>:8008	8008
Proxy HTTPS	https://<EXTERNAL-IP>:8443	8443
Admin API	http://<EXTERNAL-IP>:8081	8081

6. Verify Connectivity

Test the manager endpoint:

curl http://<EXTERNAL-IP>:5173/login

And login using your credentials in values.yaml!. The default credentials should be admin and changeme.

Cleanup

To remove the installation:

helm uninstall sushi-gateway
minikube stop
minikube delete
