Step by Step Procedure for Docker installation:

1. Download and install Docker for Desktop from the official site.
2. Open the application and wait for the Machine Engine screen to load.
3. Copy the path to your project folder and use change directory command in PowerShell.

cd C:\Users\pranay\Downloads\livechat

4. Run the below codes one after another. The build process takes quite some time to finish.

docker build -t livechat .




docker run livechat

5. Now, the image is created and running in a container.

Step by Step Procedure for Kubernetes installation:

1. Run the below commands one after another in PowerShell to enable Hyper-V.

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All

2. Install Chocolatey now.

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

3. To install Minikube using Chocolatey, run this code.

choco install minikube -y

4. To install kubectl, run this code.

choco install kubernetes-cli -y

5. Run these codes below to start Minikube.

minikube start




kubectl get nodes

6. To connect to a remote Kubernetes cluster, first obtain the kubeconfig file from your Kubernetes administrator or cloud provider. Then, run this code below in PowerShell.

$env:KUBECONFIG="path\to\kubeconfig.yaml"

7. Finally, verify connectivity using this code.

kubectl cluster-info
