Installing in a Development Environment

Note

This instalation is meant for testing purposes only. It uses self signed certificates, so your browser will show a warning about it.

To install Tracetest OnPrem in a development environment, and get a first glimpse of how it works, you can follow the instructions below.

We provide a development install via a script that you can use to run Tracetest OnPrem locally on your machine. The only prerequisite is that you have kind installed.

You can then do a git checkout of the helm chart repo and follow the instructions when needed:

git clone https://github.com/kubeshop/tracetest-cloud-charts.git
cd ./tracetest-cloud-charts

sh ./scripts/setup_kind_cluster.sh --install-demo

You need to add the following lines to your /etc/hosts file to access Tracetest:

sudo sh -c 'echo "127.0.0.1 tracetest.localdev" >> /etc/hosts'
sudo sh -c 'echo "127.0.0.1 pokeshop.localdev" >> /etc/hosts'

This setup will configure a local kind cluster with Tracetest OnPrem and a demo PokeShop API, with all networking and prerequisites configured to work locally. For more details, see Prerequisites.

After setting up your hosts file, you can go to the following links:

• https://tracetest.localdev:30000 and check Tracetest Web UI, creating a user and an organization for you
• https://pokeshop.localdev:30000 and run tests against the demo PokeShop API
