Kindxt is a wrapper for Kind to easily install common applications on Kind. This is only for local environments and you need to consider some conventions for configurations.
When I was configuring Kind with some applications, I felt some pain to organize all applications that I needed, because Kind on windows asks us to configure the port maps between the host and container. It's easy to do if you have only one application and only need to do this once. I had to do this configuration in many situations and I was tired to do this. So I created this wrapper to do this configuration with the command line so that I don't have to worry about conflicts on the Kind node ports because the configuration will stay centralized and can be shared between projects.
- Download the Kindxt from releases on github.
