This app is my version of the excellent course from Stephen Grider Microservices with NodeJS and React on udemy. (https://www.udemy.com/course/microservices-with-node-js-and-react)

Note: Last tested on Windows 10 (August 2022)

Requirements

• node v.
• npm v.
• docker desktop v.
• skaffold cli v.

Before running cluster

npm install

Note: you must initialize secrets in your cluster, here I use kubectl from-literal but any way you prefer should work

kubectl create secret generic jwt-secret --from-literal=JWT_KEY=[THE KEY]

kubectl create secret generic stripe-secret --from-literal=STRIPE_KEY=[THE KEY]

kubectl create secret generic stripe-public --from-literal=STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE=[THE KEY]

You can get your stripe secret key and publishable key in API Keys in the Developers section of your stripe account. (Using secrets for something not secret could probably be improved)

you also need to install ingress-nginx on your cluster

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/controller-v1.3.0/deploy/static/provider/cloud/deploy.yaml

⚠️ You will have to restart Docker Desktop after installing ingress-nginx on the cluster

Running cluster

skaffold dev

this might take quite a long time and you might have to restart the process a few time as docker desktop is not 100%...

Dev Tips

1. To debug this locally using chrome you'll have to bypass security for the weird nginx configs will not allow us to normally bypass this by exporting and importing the fake certificate. The way to go is, in Chrome, in the tab you're loading type this: thisisunsafe
2. To test payments, you can use the test credit card credentials from stripe
