Set up your development environment

From zero to hero: Write your first Kubernetes charm > Set up your development environment

See previous: Study your application

In this chapter of the tutorial you will set up your development environment.

You will need a charm directory, the various tools in the charm SDK, Juju, and a Kubernetes cloud. And it’s a good idea if you can do all your work in an isolated development environment.

To set all of this up, see Juju | Manage your deployment environment > Set things up, with the following changes:

  • At the directory step, call your directory fastapi-demo.

  • At the VM setup step, call your VM charm-dev. Also set up Docker:

    sudo addgroup --system docker
sudo adduser $USER docker
newgrp docker
sudo snap install docker

  • At the cloud selection step, choose microk8s.

  • At the mount step, read the tips about how to edit files locally while running them inside the VM.

Congratulations, your development environment is ready!
