This document describes how to use and run the KKP Dashboard.

Running Dashboard Locally

This approach assumes that you have all required dependencies available on your local machine:

  • Node v14 - v16
  • NPM v6+
  • Go v1.17+ (required only by the production build)

Preparation

Install the application dependencies by running:

npm ci

Starting the Application

There are multiple ways to start the application. We'll describe all of them shortly.

Using the Remote API

The easiest way to start the Dashboard is by running:

npm start

It will run a proxy for the API hosted at dev.kubermatic.io. It is always based on our latest master build, but be aware that it might be unstable.

Using the Local API

In order to start the KKP API locally, refer to the Kubermatic repository documentation.

Once you have started your local API, start the Dashboard by running:

npm run start:local

Using the Community Edition

To use the Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform Community Edition you should set KUBERMATIC_EDITION=ce environment variable before running any of the following commands. Using the application without mentioned environment variable leads to using Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform Enterprise Edition.

Note: You can verify your current setup by running the npm run vi command. Note: src/assets/config/version.json should not be edited manually.

Formatting the Code

We are using Google TypeScript Style and Stylelint to ensure consistent code formatting and linting.

To check if files are formatted and linted use npm run check command.

To automatically fix issues run npm run fix command.

Running Unit Tests

Run npm test to execute the unit tests via Jest.

Running End-to-end Tests

Mocked Tests

Mocked tests can be run locally without need to connect to the whole KKP.

KUBERMATIC_EDITION="ee" CYPRESS_MOCKS="true" npm run e2e:mock

Full Tests

Full end-to-end tests by default are executed against dev.kubermatic.io server.

KUBERMATIC_EDITION="ee" CYPRESS_USERNAME="[email protected]" CYPRESS_USERNAME_2="[email protected]" CYPRESS_PASSWORD="" npm run e2e

CYPRESS_PASSWORD contains password for users defined in CYPRESS_USERNAME and CYPRESS_USERNAME_2. It can be found in our vault inside e2e-dex secret.

NOTE: To test community edition use KUBERMATIC_EDITION="ce".

NOTE: Tests can be also run manually with npm run cy command. It requires app running at http://localhost:8000.

Building the Application

Run npm run build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory.

Please check package.json for more information regarding the available commands and the project setup.

Running NPM Inside a Docker Container

We support two ways of running the NPM commands inside a docker container:

NOTE: It should be possible to run most npm scripts available in package.json file this way.

Host-based

This approach will mount a whole Dashboard directory in RW mode inside the docker container and the container will directly manipulate your files on the host machine. It will also share your host network with the container. The advantage here is that you do not have to install required dependencies such as Node or NPM. Instead of running npm commands directly, simply run:

./hack/run-in-docker.sh npm ci

After installing the dependencies, you can start Dashboard by running:

./hack/run-in-docker.sh npm start

or if you want to start it against your local API run:

./hack/run-in-docker.sh npm run start:local

Container-based

This approach will first build a docker image and prepare all dependencies and whole environment inside the docker container. The container will expose the application on the default 8000 port, and it will be accessible at localhost:8000. It does not directly manipulate your host files, however the src directory is mounted inside the container in order to allow watching for source code changes and rebuilding the application on the fly.

Start Dashboard by running:

./hack/development/run-npm-in-docker.sh npm start

NOTE: Currently, running Dashboard this way only supports connecting to the remote API.
