OpenFaaS on Kubernetes

faas-netes: https://github.com/openfaas/faas-netes

Local Development of faas-netes

Requirements

  1. Install KinD: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind
    • Use the latest go to do this, ideally go 1.13 or greater
$ GO111MODULE="on" go get sigs.k8s.io/kind@v0.11.1
  1. Install helm3
$ curl -fsSL -o get_helm.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/main/scripts/get-helm-3
$ chmod 700 get_helm.sh
$ ./get_helm.sh
  1. Install Tiller to your running Kubernetes cluster:
$ helm init

It will also set up any necessary local configuration.

  1. Install faas-cli:
$ curl -sSL https://cli.openfaas.com | sudo sh

Deployment

https://github.com/openfaas/faas-netes/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#local-development-of-faas-netes

A Makefile and a series of scripts automates the creation of a local Kubernetes cluster with OpenFaaS preinstalled. Kubernetes in Docker (KinD) is used to create a single-node cluster and install the latest version of OpenFaaS via the Helm chart.

make start-kind

You can use OF_DEV_ENV to set a custom name for the cluster. The default value is kind.

Rebuild

As you are developing on faas-netes, you will want to build and test your own local images by loading a custom image into the KinD cluster. This can easily be done using the following commands:

make build-docker # which will generated the docker image ghcr.io/openfaas/faas-netes:latest

kind load docker-image --name="${OF_DEV_ENV:-kind}" ghcr.io/openfaas/faas-netes:latest

helm upgrade openfaas --install chart/openfaas \
    --namespace openfaas  \
    --set basic_auth=true \
    --set openfaasImagePullPolicy=IfNotPresent \
    --set faasnetes.imagePullPolicy=IfNotPresent \
    --set faasnetes.image=ghcr.io/openfaas/faas-netes:latest \
    --set functionNamespace=openfaas-fn

Note that this technique can also be used to test locally built functions, thus avoiding the need to push the image to a remote registry.

To verify that OpenFaaS has been started and running, run:

kubectl -n openfaas get deployments -l "release=openfaas, app=openfaas"

Port Forwarding

This command will port-forward the OpenFaaS Gateway to your local port 31112:

kubectl port-forward deploy/gateway -n openfaas 31112:8080 &>/dev/null & echo -n "$!" > "of_${OF_DEV_ENV:-kind}_portforward.pid"

You can stop the forwarding with:

kill $(<"of_${OF_DEV_ENV:-kind}_portforward.pid")

For simplicity, a restart script is provided in contrib/:

./contrib/restart_port_forward.sh

Login

You need to provide credentials and login to OpenFaaS gateway (password can be find in password.txt created when deploying OpenFaaS):

faas-cli login --password 08e0b3694c5f5182c0fdb21882545abd3ade6ca0

Tear Down the Local KinD Cluster

Stop the entire environment and clean up using:

make stop-kind

Example Usage

  1. Get ready the source code of the function. (Templates available at https://docs.openfaas.com/cli/templates/)
faas-cli new hello-python --lang python3

It will generates source codes:

+ hello-python
  - handler.py
  - requirements.txt
- hello-python.yml

Edit the source code in handler.py:

def handle(req):
    print("Hello! " + req)
  1. Build the function.
faas-cli build -f ./hello-python.yml
  1. Push the function to register.
faas-cli push -f ./hello-python.yml
  1. Deploy the function.
faas-cli deploy -f ./hello-python.yml
  1. Invoke the function with the given URL after registering the fucntion.
curl URL -d PARAM
