Welcome to Octopus Zero to Hero! This project is designed to help you follow along during our "Zero to Hero" Octopus Deploy webinar. By following this guide, you'll be able to deploy a sample .NET application to a Kubernetes cluster using Octopus Deploy.
We highly recommend reviewing the Octopus docs to help you understand the core concepts. The Octopus introduction and getting started guide combined with technology-specific docs (Kubernetes, IIS, Tomcat, etc) are great resources to help you go grow your Octopus experience from zero to hero.
Before getting started, please make sure you have the following:
-
A Kubernetes cluster. You can use any of the following options:
- Docker Desktop with Kubernetes extension enabled
- Minikube
- A cloud-based Kubernetes cluster (e.g., Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Amazon EKS, or Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)).
-
Helm installed
-
kubectl CLI installed
Start by forking this repository to your GitHub account and give it a name (i.e. octopus-demo-template-net). Then, clone your forked repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/octopus-demo-template-net.git
cd octopus-demo-template-net
Ensure that your Kubernetes cluster is up and running. If you are using Docker Desktop:
- Make sure Docker Desktop is running.
- Go to Settings > Kubernetes and enable Kubernetes.
This token must have read:packages and repo scopes to enable pulling packages from the GitHub registry of your forked repository. You can create a token by following these steps:
-
Go to your GitHub account settings.
-
Navigate to Developer settings > Personal access tokens > Generate new token.
-
Select read:packages and repo scopes.
-
Generate the token and keep it safe, as you'll need it during the deployment process.
Following Along During the Webinar
This repository and the example deployment are intended to be used as part of our "Zero to Hero" webinar. We will cover:
Setting up Octopus Deploy from scratch.
Configuring a Kubernetes target.
Deploying the provided .NET application.
