## Prerequisites
- Complete all the previous sections of this guide, starting with [Containerize a Ruby on Rails application](containerize.md).
- [Turn on Kubernetes](/manuals/desktop/features/kubernetes.md#install-and-turn-on-kubernetes) in Docker Desktop.
## Overview
In this section, you'll learn how to use Docker Desktop to deploy your application to a fully-featured Kubernetes environment on your development machine. This lets you to test and debug your workloads on Kubernetes locally before deploying.
## Create a Kubernetes YAML file
In your `docker-ruby-on-rails` directory, create a file named
`docker-ruby-on-rails-kubernetes.yaml`. Open the file in an IDE or text editor and add
the following contents. Replace `DOCKER_USERNAME/REPO_NAME` with your Docker
username and the name of the repository that you created in [Configure CI/CD for
your Ruby on Rails application](configure-github-actions.md).
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: docker-ruby-on-rails-demo
namespace: default
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
service: ruby-on-rails
template:
metadata:
labels:
service: ruby-on-rails
spec:
containers:
- name: ruby-on-rails-container
image: DOCKER_USERNAME/REPO_NAME
imagePullPolicy: Always
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: docker-ruby-on-rails-demo
namespace: default
spec:
type: NodePort
selector:
service: ruby-on-rails
ports:
- port: 3000
targetPort: 3000
nodePort: 30001
```
In this Kubernetes YAML file, there are two objects, separated by the `---`:
- A Deployment, describing a scalable group of identical pods. In this case,
you'll get just one replica, or copy of your pod. That pod, which is
described under `template`, has just one container in it. The
container is created from the image built by GitHub Actions in [Configure CI/CD for
your Ruby on Rails application](configure-github-actions.md).
- A NodePort service, which will route traffic from port 30001 on your host to
port 8001 inside the pods it routes to, allowing you to reach your app
from the network.
To learn more about Kubernetes objects, see the [Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/home/).
## Deploy and check your application
1. In a terminal, navigate to `docker-ruby-on-rails` and deploy your application to
Kubernetes.
```console
$ kubectl apply -f docker-ruby-on-rails-kubernetes.yaml
```
You should see output that looks like the following, indicating your Kubernetes objects were created successfully.
```shell
deployment.apps/docker-ruby-on-rails-demo created
service/docker-ruby-on-rails-demo created
```
2. Make sure everything worked by listing your deployments.
```console
$ kubectl get deployments
```
Your deployment should be listed as follows:
```shell
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
docker-ruby-on-rails-demo 1/1 1 1 15s
```
This indicates all one of the pods you asked for in your YAML are up and running. Do the same check for your services.
```console
$ kubectl get services
```
You should get output like the following.
```shell
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
kubernetes ClusterIP 10.96.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 23h
docker-ruby-on-rails-demo NodePort 10.99.128.230 <none> 3000:30001/TCP 75s
```
In addition to the default `kubernetes` service, you can see your `docker-ruby-on-rails-demo` service, accepting traffic on port 30001/TCP.
3. To create and migrate the database in a Ruby on Rails application running on Kubernetes, you need to follow these steps.
**Get the Current Pods**:
First, you need to identify the pods running in your Kubernetes cluster. Execute the following command to list the current pods in the `default` namespace:
```sh
# Get the current pods in the cluster in the namespace default
$ kubectl get pods
```
This command will display a list of all pods in the `default` namespace. Look for the pod with the prefix `docker-ruby-on-rails-demo-`. Here is an example output:
```console
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
docker-ruby-on-rails-demo-7cbddb5d6f-qh44l 1/1 Running 2 (22h ago) 9d
```
**Execute the Migration Command**:
Once you've identified the correct pod, use the `kubectl exec` command to run the database migration inside the pod.
```sh
$ kubectl exec -it docker-ruby-on-rails-demo-7cbddb5d6f-qh44l -- rails db:migrate RAILS_ENV=development
```
This command opens an interactive terminal session (`-it`) in the specified pod and runs the `rails db:migrate` command with the environment set to development (`RAILS_ENV=development`).
By following these steps, you ensure that your database is properly migrated within the Ruby on Rails application running in your Kubernetes cluster. This process helps maintain the integrity and consistency of your application's data structure during deployment and updates.
4. Open the browser and go to [http://localhost:30001](http://localhost:30001), you should see the ruby on rails application working.
5. Run the following command to tear down your application.
```console
$ kubectl delete -f docker-ruby-on-rails-kubernetes.yaml
```
