hey @full-accountant-59700, thanks for your honest feedback! That’s very important for us. Let me try to answer or ask you something more to get a deeper understanding, and see where we can improve. The no-experience with Kubernetes is meant to be from the developer point of you. Epinio is meant to be installed and configured on a Kubernetes cluster, so you need some experience for this step. But then, if you are a developer that is just using Epinio as a PaaS then you don’t need any experience, and you can use just the Epinio CLI to deploy and play with it. Regarding the installation part the youtube videos are probably very outdated. Right now you can install Epinio with just an Helm command, and the only requirement is to have

cert-manager

. So if you have a local k8s cluster (I usually use

k3d

) it’s just a matter of a

helm install epinio epinio/epinio

. The easiest way to do that is going through the quickstart. Did you eventually end up following other more complex installation scenarios? Let us know where we can improve!

@broad-dream-81849 I tried in Linux Mint, in Ubuntu, in Debian, in OpenSuse, in Fedora (this distro was the first i tried, but the conda got bugged my terminal that i needed to reinstall my whole machine). Now, lesson learned. I am trying to install in a Ubuntu machine with VirtualBox and let's see what ahead. Let you know the other scenarios in a couple hours. Just to let you know, i'm not stopping until i see epinio running the easiest way possible. My idea after those frustrations is to set an shell script for Ubuntu deploy, with all dependencies, cert-manager and k3d, installing afterwards the epinio solution in one single instance. I'm not satisfied. Easiest is easiest. Not kinda easy. 🙂 We talk shortly. Thanks for the fast reply do. 😉

for a local development k3d is very easy. It’s kubernetes (k3s) in docker, so once you have your favorite distro running with docker installed you are good to go. And you will be pretty confident to not mess up your machine! Anyway, if you find any issue just let me know. 🙂

yeah, use k3d... anyway, given u that script... u should be on your way to test developer's experience point of view. You need to have some k8 knowledge in order to install this, this is true... I am from developer to doing k8 and it is not fun! and this is why you need epinio.

I am in the sslip.io part.

Welcome to the world of k8. You should still try the makefile :-)

Nicelly putted. 🤣🤣🤣

That script is one of them but using k3d as the k8. But yes, you need to have a script that automates from zero

I was remembering here, i was able to install thanks to this Makefile. I thought not, but it worked. As in mention, “I don’t how i did”.. hehe
