kind (Kubernetes in Docker) is great for local dev and CI. The chart’s
test-chart.sh script in this repo uses kind.

Cluster

The repo ships a kind-config.yaml:

1
kind create cluster --config kind-config.yaml --name npa-test

That mounts /dev/net/tun into the kind node container so the
Publisher can reach the host’s tun device. Without this mount, the
Publisher fails on startup.

Quirks

  • The host Docker daemon must have /dev/net/tun accessible — on
    Docker Desktop (Mac/Windows) this is not guaranteed; prefer Linux.
  • Resource limits in the default values.yaml are sized for production.
    For kind on a laptop, halve them.
  • kind nodes are ephemeral — kind delete cluster wipes the Publisher.
    Pair with persistence.enabled: false for clean teardown.
