The kind keptn is a disposable, temporary mechanism that runs a Keptn installation on your laptop so you can quickly evaluate keptn. The only prerequisite is a current version of Docker.
The kind keptn is not designed as a production-ready installation. It is not designed for long term use. For those, you want a proper installation of keptn or a SaaS hosted version.
This microsite covers the basics of the kind keptn. It is not intended as a replacement for the full docs and tutorials on the keptn site.
To begin, execute the following command from the shell of your laptop. You may want to create a separate directory and execute the command there.
docker run --rm -it \
--name thekindkeptn \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \
--add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
--publish 7681:7681 \
gardnera/thekindkeptn:0.16.0
This takes 10-15 minutes to execute, possibly longer, depending on your computer and the speed of your Internet connection. When it completes, you will see a “Keptn is now running” block and a shell prompt.
You now have a Docker container running that contains a small Kubernetes cluster with Keptn and the Keptn CLI installed, as well as a very simple Keptn project that we will use to explore what Keptn can do.
You will also find a web-based terminal shell on http://localhost:7681
