# Trying Pinniped
## Prerequisites
1. A Kubernetes cluster of a type supported by Pinniped.
Currently, Pinniped supports self-hosted clusters where the Kube Controller Manager pod
is accessible from Pinniped's pods.
Support for other types of Kubernetes distributions is coming soon.
Don't have a cluster handy? Consider using [kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) on your local machine.
See below for an example of using kind.
1. A kubeconfig where the current context points to that cluster and has admin-like
privileges on that cluster.
Don't have an identity provider of a type supported by Pinniped handy?
Start by installing `local-user-authenticator` on the same cluster where you would like to try Pinniped
by following the directions in [deploy-local-user-authenticator/README.md](../deploy-local-user-authenticator/README.md).
See below for an example of deploying this on kind.
## Steps
### General Steps
1. Install Pinniped by following the directions in [deploy/README.md](../deploy/README.md).
1. Download the Pinniped CLI from [Pinniped's github Releases page](https://github.com/suzerain-io/pinniped/releases/latest).
1. Generate a kubeconfig using the Pinniped CLI. Run `pinniped get-kubeconfig --help` for more information.
1. Run `kubectl` commands using the generated kubeconfig to authenticate using Pinniped during those commands.
### Specific Example of Deploying on kind Using `local-user-authenticator` as the Identity Provider
1. Install the tools required for the following steps.
- This example deployment uses `ytt` and `kapp` from [Carvel](https://carvel.dev/) to template the YAML files
and to deploy the app.
Either [install `ytt` and `kapp`](https://carvel.dev/) or use the [container image from Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/k14s/image/tags).
E.g. `brew install k14s/tap/ytt k14s/tap/kapp` on a Mac.
- [Install kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/), if not already installed. e.g. `brew install kind` on a Mac.
- kind depends on Docker. If not already installed, [install Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/), e.g. `brew cask install docker` on a Mac.
- This demo requires `kubectl`, which comes with Docker, or can be [installed separately](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/).
- This demo requires a tool capable of generating a `bcrypt` hash in order to interact with
the webhook. The example below uses `htpasswd`, which is installed on most macOS systems, and can be
installed on some Linux systems via the `apache2-utils` package (e.g., `apt-get install
apache2-utils`).
1. Create a new Kubernetes cluster using `kind create cluster`. Optionally provide a cluster name using the `--name` flag.
kind will automatically update your kubeconfig to point to the new cluster.
1. Clone this repo.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/suzerain-io/pinniped.git /tmp/pinniped --depth 1
```
1. Deploy the `local-user-authenticator` app:
```bash
cd /tmp/pinniped/deploy-local-user-authenticator
ytt --file . | kapp deploy --yes --app local-user-authenticator --diff-changes --file -
```
1. Create a test user.
```bash
kubectl create secret generic pinny-the-seal \
--namespace local-user-authenticator \
--from-literal=groups=group1,group2 \
--from-literal=passwordHash=$(htpasswd -nbBC 10 x password123 | sed -e "s/^x://")
```
1. Fetch the auto-generated CA bundle for the `local-user-authenticator`'s HTTP TLS endpoint.
```bash
kubectl get secret api-serving-cert --namespace local-user-authenticator \
-o jsonpath={.data.caCertificate} \
| base64 -d \
| tee /tmp/local-user-authenticator-ca
```
1. Deploy Pinniped.
```bash
cd /tmp/pinniped/deploy
ytt --file . | kapp deploy --yes --app pinniped --diff-changes --file - \
--data-value "webhook_url=https://local-user-authenticator.local-user-authenticator.svc/authenticate" \
--data-value "webhook_ca_bundle=$(cat /tmp/local-user-authenticator-ca)"
```
1. Download the latest version of the Pinniped CLI binary for your platform
from [Pinniped's github Releases page](https://github.com/suzerain-io/pinniped/releases/latest).
1. Move the Pinniped CLI binary to your preferred directory and add the executable bit,
e.g. `chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pinniped`.
1. Generate a kubeconfig.
```bash
pinniped get-kubeconfig --token "pinny-the-seal:password123" > /tmp/pinniped-kubeconfig
```
1. Create RBAC rules for the test user to give them permissions to perform actions on the cluster.
For example, grant the test user permission to view all cluster resources.
```bash
kubectl create clusterrolebinding pinny-can-read --clusterrole view --user pinny-the-seal
```
1. Use the generated kubeconfig to issue arbitrary `kubectl` commands as the `pinny-the-seal` user.
```bash
kubectl --kubeconfig /tmp/pinniped-kubeconfig get pods -n pinniped
```
