Kubernetes + Jenkins example doesn't work with Minikube

[cnunciato]

What happened?

The blog post that surfaces when searching for Pulumi + Jenkins uses the kubernetes-ts-jenkins example. In the post, it says the following:

If [...] you are targeting minikube or your own custom Kubernetes cluster, replace type: "LoadBalancer" with type: "ClusterIP" in jenkins.ts.

I did this, but when I ran pulumi up, I got an error about a config value that isn't in the blog post:

error: Missing required configuration variable 'jenkins-minikube:isMinikube'
    please set a value using the command `pulumi config set jenkins-minikube:isMinikube <value>`

This value is referenced in the code under a comment that the code itself seems to conflict with (i.e., the comment suggests using ClusterIP for Minikube, as the post does, but the code hard-fails on Minkube):

// Minikube does not implement services of type `LoadBalancer`; require the user to specify if we're
// running on minikube, and if so, create only services of type ClusterIP. 👈 Suggests this works with Minikube.
const config = new pulumi.Config();
if (config.require("isMinikube") === "true") {
    throw new Error("This example does not yet support minikube"); 👈 Suggests it doesn't.
}

When I use ClusterIP as the post describes, the deployment eventually times out, after many minutes of retries.

The code, comment, and README should be updated to reflect what is supported and the example should be placed under test, so users don't run lose time trying to debug something that may or may not actually be supported.

As an aside, there's an import here that doesn't seem to be doing anything, and warns on update:

warning: Undefined value (externalIp) will not show as a stack output.

Should probably just be deleted and replaced with exporting the actual output:

this.registerOutputs({externalIp: this.externalIp});

Example

See above.
