Getting Started

The Gateway depends on metacontroller and Skipper Ingress.
Once you have installed both of those, the gateway can be installed by applying some yaml.

Install Metacontroller

You can find instructions at metacontroller

Install Skipper Ingress

You can find instructions at Skipper Ingress

Install API Gateway Operator

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zalando-incubator/fabric-gateway/master/docs/assets/basic-install.yaml

Worked Example

Apply a Sample App

Apply the following yaml to get a sample echo app up and running:

kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: my-first-gateway
spec:
  selector:
    app: my-first-gateway
  ports:
  - name: http
    port: 80
    targetPort: 5678
---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: my-first-gateway
  labels:
    app: my-first-gateway
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: my-first-gateway
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: my-first-gateway
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: my-first-gateway
        image: hashicorp/http-echo:0.2.3
        args:
        - -text="some string"
        ports:
        - containerPort: 5678

Apply a Sample Gateway

Once everything is set up, you can apply the gateway as follows:

apiVersion: zalando.org/v1
kind: FabricGateway
metadata:
  name: my-first-gateway
spec:
  x-fabric-service:
    - host: my-first-gateway.<mydomain.org>
      serviceName: my-first-gateway
      servicePort: http
  paths:
    /test:
      get:
        x-fabric-privileges:
          - uid

Now run this to get an authentication failure:

curl -i "https://${USER}-gateway-test.playground.zalan.do/somepath"

If your token has the right scopes, the following will give a successful response:

curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" "https://${USER}-gateway-test.playground.zalan.do/somepath"
