Kubernetes

Setting up Zitadel , a multi-tenant, API-first identity platform offering authentication and authorization with an open source platform, can be rather opaque. The project seems to be fast moving and the documentation is not always kept up to date, which can lead to fustration during deployment. Let’s try and simplify and disambiguate some of the startup to get a lightweight local test deployment.

The recipe for the setup is as follows:

In order to get a quick Kubernetes cluster for local development on macOS we can turn to Colima . Long story short, we can leverage Colima by itself to create the entire setup with networking to skip a lot of fuss.

To get started:

brew install colima

If you don’t already have the Kubernetes command line interface, kubectl , you should also install that now in order to interact with your cluster.
