k1x

Reproducible Kubernetes environments for development and testing powered by Nix.

k1x is like docker-compose for Kubernetes. Create a k1x.nix file describing your setup, run nix up and you are good to go.

No Kubernetes knowledge required.

All dependencies managed by Nix

k1x manages all dependencies using Nix, so you don't have to worry about installing Helm, k3d, kubectl or any other kubernetes developer tool.

Getting started

Running k1x init generates a k1x.nix containing:

{ ... }:

{
  version = "1.0";
  cluster = {
    name = "mycluster";
    provider = "k3d";
    nativeConfig = {
      apiVersion = "k3d.io/v1alpha2";
      kind = "Simple";
      servers = 1;
      agents = 2;
      image = "rancher/k3s:v1.22.9-k3s1";
      ports = [{
        port = "8080:80";
        nodeFilters = [ "loadbalancer" ];
      }];
    };
  };
}

And k1x up starts the development cluster.

Usage

• k1x init: Scaffold k1x.nix
• k1x up: Starts development cluster
• k1x version: Outputs currenct version
