To run a Spring Boot application in Minikube, you can follow these steps:

1. Install Minikube: First, make sure you have Minikube installed and running on your machine. You can download and install Minikube from the official website: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/
2. Build the Docker image: In order to run your Spring Boot application in Kubernetes, you need to create a Docker image for your application. This can be done by adding a Dockerfile to your project and building the image using the following command in the project root directory:

1

docker build -t <image-name> .

Replace <image-name> with a suitable name for your Docker image.

1. Start Minikube: Start Minikube by running the following command in your terminal:

1

minikube start

This will start a local Kubernetes cluster using Minikube.

1. Configure Docker environment: Configure your Docker client to connect to the Minikube Docker daemon by running the following command:

1

eval $(minikube -p minikube docker-env)

This will set up the environment variables required to use the Minikube Docker daemon.

1. Deploy the Spring Boot application: Create a Kubernetes deployment for your Spring Boot application by running the following command:

1

kubectl create deployment <deployment-name> --image=<image-name>

Replace <deployment-name> with a suitable name for your Kubernetes deployment. Also, replace <image-name> with the same name used in step 2.

1. Expose the Spring Boot application: Expose your Spring Boot application by creating a Kubernetes service for it. You can do this by running the following command:

1

kubectl expose deployment <deployment-name> --type=NodePort --port=<port-number>

Replace <deployment-name> with the name of your Kubernetes deployment created in step 5. Also, replace <port-number> with the port number your Spring Boot application is listening on.

1. Access the application: To access your Spring Boot application, get the URL of the Minikube cluster by running the following command:

1

minikube service <deployment-name> --url

Replace <deployment-name> with the name of your Kubernetes deployment created in step 5. This command will provide you with a URL that you can use to access your application in a web browser.

That's it! Your Spring Boot application should now be running in Minikube. You can repeat steps 5-7 if you need to redeploy your application with changes.
