This repository provides a simple and fast way to run Cloud Foundry locally. It enables developers to rapidly prototype, develop, and test new ideas in an inexpensive setup.
Prerequisites
The following tools need to be installed:
dockermake:- It should be already installed on MacOS and Linux.
- For Windows installation see: https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm
Run the Installation
make up
Access and Bootstrap CloudFoundry
# Login via CF CLI and create a test space
make login
# Upload Java, Node, Go, and Binary buildpacks
# 'make bootstrap-complete' would upload all buildpacks
make bootstrap
Deploy a Sample Application
cf push -f examples/hello-js/manifest.yaml
Delete the Installation
make down
Configuration
You can configure the installation by setting the environment variable INSTALL_OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS=false to leave out these optional components:
bosh-dns, cf-tcp-router, credhub, loggregator, nfsbroker, policy-agent, policy-server, routing-api, service-discovery-controller
Unsupported Features
- Routing isolation segments are not fully feature complete since this relies on more than one gateway which is not possible to realize in a local kind setup (see FAQ)
