I’ll guide you through deploying MySQL and WordPress on Kubernetes using Minikube in this article.

We’ll use Minikube to create persistent storage, manage secrets for secure credential storage, and deploy the applications.

Finally, we’ll test WordPress in the browser and cover cleanup steps.

Get the codes from my GitHub: https://github.com/Here2ServeU/mysql-wordpress-kubernetes/.

Step 1: Install Minikube

Minikube is a lightweight Kubernetes implementation that is perfect for local testing.

Go to https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/?arch=%2Fmacos%2Farm64%2Fstable%2Fbinary+download.

Choose your Operating System, and you will see the commands to install the binary on your machine.

Click to select the Operating System you’re using on your machine
  • Create your project directory:
mkdir mysql-wordpress-kubernetes
cd mysql-wordpress-kubernetes/
  • Or, clone the code:
git clone https://github.com/Here2ServeU/mysql-wordpress-kubernetes/
cd mysql-wordpress-kubernetes/
