minikube

This guide explains how you can install APISIX ingress on minikube.

Prerequisites

• Install Minikube.
• Install Helm.

Install APISIX and ingress controller

The script below installs APISIX and the ingress controller:

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

This will create the five resources mentioned below:

• apisix-gateway: dataplane the process the traffic.
• apisix-admin: control plane that processes all configuration changes.
• apisix-ingress-controller: ingress controller which exposes APISIX.
• apisix-etcd and apisix-etcd-headless: stores configuration and handles internal communication.

You should now be able to use APISIX ingress controller. You can try running this minimal example to see if everything is working perfectly.
