# Hello World - Kotlin sample
A simple web app written in Kotlin using [Ktor](https://ktor.io/) that you can
use for testing. It reads in an env variable `TARGET` and prints "Hello
\${TARGET}". If TARGET is not specified, it will use "World" as the TARGET.
## Prerequisites
- A Kubernetes cluster with Knative installed. Follow the
[installation instructions](https://github.com/knative/docs/blob/master/install/README.md)
if you need to create one.
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com) installed and running on your local machine,
and a Docker Hub account configured (we'll use it for a container registry).
## Steps to recreate the sample code
While you can clone all of the code from this directory, hello world apps are
generally more useful if you build them step-by-step. The following instructions
recreate the source files from this folder.
1. Create a new directory and cd into it:
```shell
mkdir hello
cd hello
```
2. Create a file named `Main.kt` at `src/main/kotlin/com/example/hello` and copy
the code block below into it:
```shell
mkdir -p src/main/kotlin/com/example/hello
```
```kotlin
package com.example.hello
import io.ktor.application.*
import io.ktor.http.*
import io.ktor.response.*
import io.ktor.routing.*
import io.ktor.server.engine.*
import io.ktor.server.netty.*
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
val target = System.getenv("TARGET") ?: "World"
val port = System.getenv("PORT") ?: "8080"
embeddedServer(Netty, port.toInt()) {
routing {
get("/") {
call.respondText("Hello $target", ContentType.Text.Html)
}
}
}.start(wait = true)
}
```
3. Switch back to `hello` directory
4. Create a new file, `build.gradle` and copy the following setting
```groovy
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.61'
ext.ktor_version = '0.9.4'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
}
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'kotlin'
apply plugin: 'application'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
compileKotlin {
kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = "1.8"
}
compileTestKotlin {
kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = "1.8"
}
repositories {
jcenter()
maven { url "https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/ktor" }
}
mainClassName = 'com.example.hello.MainKt'
jar {
manifest {
attributes 'Main-Class': mainClassName
}
from { configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) } }
}
dependencies {
compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:$kotlin_version"
compile "io.ktor:ktor-server-netty:$ktor_version"
testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.12'
}
```
5. Create a file named `Dockerfile` and copy the code block below into it.
```docker
# Use the official gradle image to create a build artifact.
# https://hub.docker.com/_/gradle
FROM gradle as builder
# Copy local code to the container image.
COPY build.gradle .
COPY src ./src
# Build a release artifact.
RUN gradle clean build --no-daemon
# Use the Official OpenJDK image for a lean production stage of our multi-stage build.
# https://hub.docker.com/_/openjdk
# https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/multistage-build/#use-multi-stage-builds
FROM openjdk:8-jre-alpine
# Copy the jar to the production image from the builder stage.
COPY --from=builder /home/gradle/build/libs/gradle.jar /helloworld.jar
# Service must listen to $PORT environment variable.
# This default value facilitates local development.
ENV PORT 8080
# Run the web service on container startup.
CMD [ "java", "-jar", "-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom", "/helloworld.jar" ]
```
6. Create a new file, `service.yaml` and copy the following service definition
into the file. Make sure to replace `{username}` with your Docker Hub
username.
```yaml
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: helloworld-kotlin
namespace: default
spec:
runLatest:
configuration:
revisionTemplate:
spec:
container:
image: docker.io/{username}/helloworld-kotlin
env:
- name: TARGET
value: "Kotlin Sample v1"
```
## Build and deploy this sample
Once you have recreated the sample code files (or used the files in the sample
folder) you're ready to build and deploy the sample app.
1. Use Docker to build the sample code into a container. To build and push with
Docker Hub, run these commands replacing `{username}` with your Docker Hub
username:
```shell
# Build the container on your local machine
docker build -t {username}/helloworld-kotlin .
# Push the container to docker registry
docker push {username}/helloworld-kotlin
```
2. After the build has completed and the container is pushed to docker hub, you
can deploy the app into your cluster. Ensure that the container image value
in `service.yaml` matches the container you built in the previous step. Apply
the configuration using `kubectl`:
```shell
kubectl apply --filename service.yaml
```
3. Now that your service is created, Knative will perform the following steps:
- Create a new immutable revision for this version of the app.
- Network programming to create a route, ingress, service, and load balance
for your app.
- Automatically scale your pods up and down (including to zero active pods).
4. To find the IP address for your service, use
`kubectl get service knative-ingressgateway --namespace istio-system` to get
the ingress IP for your cluster. If your cluster is new, it may take sometime
for the service to get assigned an external IP address.
```shell
kubectl get service knative-ingressgateway --namespace istio-system
```
```shell
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
knative-ingressgateway LoadBalancer 10.23.247.74 35.203.155.229 80:32380/TCP,443:32390/TCP,32400:32400/TCP 2d
```
5. To find the URL for your service, use
```shell
kubectl get ksvc helloworld-kotlin --output=custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name,DOMAIN:.status.domain
```
```shell
NAME DOMAIN
helloworld-kotlin helloworld-kotlin.default.example.com
```
6. Now you can make a request to your app to see the result. Replace
`{IP_ADDRESS}` with the address you see returned in the previous step.
```shell
curl -H "Host: helloworld-kotlin.default.example.com" http://{IP_ADDRESS}
```
```shell
Hello Kotlin Sample v1
```
## Remove the sample app deployment
To remove the sample app from your cluster, delete the service record:
```shell
kubectl delete --filename service.yaml
```
