Installing MockServer

Prerequisites

Helm Install

To run MockServer in Kubernetes the easiest way is to use the existing MockServer helm chart.

This is available by using www.mock-server.com as a chart repo, with the following command:

helm upgrade --install --namespace mockserver mockserver http://www.mock-server.com/mockserver-5.11.1.tgz

OR

If you have helm chart source folder (i.e. you have the repository cloned):

helm upgrade --install --namespace mockserver mockserver helm/mockserver

The two commands above will install MockServer into a namespace called mockserver with default configuration (as per the embedded values.yaml).
MockServer will then be available on domain name mockserver.mockserver.svc.cluster.local, as long as the namespace you are calling from isn't prevented (by network policy) to call the mockserver namespace.

THEN

To view the logs:

kubectl -n mockserver logs --tail=100 -l app=mockserver,release=mockserver

To wait until the deployment is complete run:

kubectl -n mockserver rollout status deployments mockserver

To check the status of the deployment without waiting, run the following command and confirm the mockserver has the Running status:

kubectl -n mockserver get po -l release=mockserver

Basic MockServer Configuration

Modify the arguments used to start the docker container by setting values explicitly using --set, as follows:

helm upgrade --install --namespace mockserver --set app.serverPort=1080 --set app.logLevel=INFO mockserver http://www.mock-server.com/mockserver-5.11.1.tgz

The following values are supported:

  • app.serverPort (default: 1080)
  • app.logLevel (default: INFO)
  • app.proxyRemoteHost (no default)
  • app.proxyRemotePort (no default)
  • app.jvmOptions (no default)
  • image.snapshot (default: false) - set true to use latest snapshot version

For example configure a proxyRemoteHost and proxyRemotePort, as follows:

helm upgrade --install --namespace mockserver --set app.serverPort=1080 --set app.proxyRemoteHost=www.mock-server.com --set app.proxyRemotePort=443 mockserver http://www.mock-server.com/mockserver-5.11.1.tgz

Double check the correct arguments have been passed to the pod, as follows:

kubectl -n mockserver logs -l app=mockserver,release=mockserver

Detailed MockServer Configuration

If a configmap called mockserver-config exists in the same namespace this will be mapped into the MockServer container under the mountPath /config. This configmap can be used to configure MockServer by containing a mockserver.properties file and other related configuration files such as a:

See MockServer Configuration for details of all configuration options.

The mapping of the configuration configmap can be configured as follows:

  • app.mountedConfigMapName (default: mockserver-config) - name of the configuration configmap (in the same namespace) to mount
  • app.propertiesFileName (default: mockserver.properties) - path of the property file in the configmap

For example:

helm upgrade --install --namespace mockserver --set app.mountedConfigMapName=other-mockserver-config --set app.propertiesFileNamem=other-mockserver.properties mockserver helm/mockserver

An example of a helm chart to configure MockServer is helm/mockserver-config

Extending MockServer Classpath

To use class callbacks or an expectation initializer class the classpath for MockServer must include the specified classes. To support adding classes to the classpath if a configmap called mockserver-config exists in the same namespace any jar files contained in this configmap will be added into MockServer classpath.

The mapping of the libs configmap can be configured as follows:

  • app.mountedLibsConfigMapName (default: mockserver-config) - name of the libs configmap (in the same namespace) to mount

For example:

helm upgrade --install --namespace mockserver --set app.mountedLibsConfigMapName=mockserver-libs mockserver helm/mockserver

MockServer URL

Local Kubernetes Cluster (i.e. minikube, microk8s)

If the service type hasn't been modified the following will provide the MockServer URL from outside the cluster.

export NODE_PORT=$(kubectl get -n mockserver -o jsonpath="{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}" services mockserver)
export NODE_IP=$(kubectl get nodes -n mockserver -o jsonpath="{.items[0].status.addresses[0].address}")
export MOCKSERVER_HOST=$NODE_IP:$NODE_PORT
echo http://$MOCKSERVER_HOST

To test the installation the following curl command should return the ports MockServer is bound to:

curl -v -X PUT http://$MOCKSERVER_HOST/status

Docker for Desktop

Docker for Desktop automatically exposes LoadBalancer services.
On MacOS Docker for Desktop runs inside Hyperkit so the node IP address is not reachable, therefore the only way to call services is via the exposed LoadBalancer service added by Docker for Desktop.

To ensure that Docker for Desktop exposes MockServer update the service type to LoadBalancer using --set service.type=LoadBalancer and set the exposed port using --set service.port=1080, as follows:

helm upgrade --install --namespace mockserver --set service.type=LoadBalancer --set service.port=1080 mockserver http://www.mock-server.com/mockserver-5.11.1.tgz

MockServer will then be reachable on http://localhost:1080

For LoadBalancer services it is possible to query kubernetes to programmatically determine the MockServer base URL as follows:

export SERVICE_IP=$(kubectl get svc --namespace mockserver mockserver -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname}')
export MOCKSERVER_HOST=$SERVICE_IP:1081
echo http://$MOCKSERVER_HOST

Outside Remote Kubernetes Cluster (i.e. Azure AKS, AWS EKS, etc)

kubectl -n mockserver port-forward svc/mockserver 1080:1080 &
export MOCKSERVER_HOST=127.0.0.1:1080
echo http://$MOCKSERVER_HOST

Inside Kubernetes Cluster

If a DNS server has been installed in the Kubernetes cluster the following DNS name should be available mockserver.<namespace>.svc.cluster.local, i.e. mockserver.mockserver.svc.cluster.local

Helm Delete

To completely remove the chart:

helm delete mockserver --purge
