Setup KinD (Kubernetes in Docker) with a single GitHub Action!

Because of a [deprecation in the GitHub Actions environment][gh-actions-path], versions lower than v0.5.0 will no longer work properly. See this issue for more details.

This action assumes a Linux environment (amd64 or arm64 architecture), and will not work on Windows or MacOS agents.

name: "Create cluster using KinD"
on: [pull_request, push]

jobs:
  kind:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@master
      - uses: engineerd/setup-kind@v0.5.0
      - name: Testing
        run: |
          kubectl cluster-info
          kubectl get pods -n kube-system
          echo "current-context:" $(kubectl config current-context)
          echo "environment-kubeconfig:" ${KUBECONFIG}

Note: KUBECONFIG is automatically merged after cluster creation starting with version 0.6 of Kind. See this document for a detailed migration guide

Note: GitHub Actions workers come pre-configured with kubectl.

The following arguments can be configured on the job using the with keyword (see example above). Currently, possible inputs are all the flags for kind cluster create, with the additional version, which sets the Kind version to download and skipClusterCreation, which when present, skips creating the cluster (the Kind tools is configured in the path).

Optional inputs:

• version: version of Kind to use (default "v0.11.1")
• config: path (relative to the root of the repository) to a kind config file. If omitted, a default 1-node cluster will be created
• image: node Docker image to use for booting the cluster.
• name: cluster name (default "kind")
• wait: wait for control plane node to be ready (default "300s")
• kubeconfig: sets kubeconfig path instead of $KUBECONFIG or $HOME/.kube/config
• skipClusterCreation: if "true", the action will not create a cluster, just acquire the tools
• skipClusterDeletion: if "true", the action will not delete the cluster
• skipClusterLogsExport: if "true", the action will not export the cluster logs
• verbosity: numeric log verbosity, (info = 0, debug = 3, trace = 2147483647) (default "0")
• quiet: silence all stderr output (default "false")

Example using optional inputs:

name: "Create cluster using KinD"
on: [pull_request, push]

jobs:
  kind:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@master
      - uses: engineerd/setup-kind@v0.5.0
        with:
          version: "v0.11.1"
      - name: Testing
        run: |
          kubectl cluster-info
          kubectl get pods -n kube-system
          echo "current-context:" $(kubectl config current-context)
          echo "environment-kubeconfig:" ${KUBECONFIG}
