This guide covers setting up Flex on a local Kubernetes cluster for development and testing.

#System Requirements

For local deployments, minimum resources are:

• 8 GB RAM
• 4 CPU cores
• 50 GB hard-disk

#Quick Start Script

Start a fresh Ubuntu VM with ports 443 and 80 open, then run:

sudo su -
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GluuFederation/flex/v6.3.0/automation/startflexdemo.sh && chmod u+x startflexdemo.sh && ./startflexdemo.sh

This installs Docker, MicroK8s, Helm, and Flex with default settings.

#Accessing Endpoints

The installer adds a hosts record in the VM. To access from outside the VM, map the VM IP to your FQDN.

#Manual Setup

If you prefer manual setup:

1. Install Minikube or MicroK8s
2. Install Helm
3. Create the namespace:

   kubectl create namespace gluu

   Copy

#Next Steps

Proceed to Ingress Setup to configure traffic routing.
