- Go (version 1.16 or higher)
- Git
- Docker (optional, for containerized development)
Installation
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/GalleyBytes/terraform-operator-api.git -

KUBECONFIG: The kubernetes cluster API config (In-cluster is used when running in a Kubernetes pod)ADDR: The address on which the server will listen (default:0.0.0.0:3000)DB_URL: Connection string for your database (if applicable)
Flags
You can also configure the server using command-line flags:
--addr: Specify the address (e.g.,--addr ':3000')--db-url: Specify the database connection string (e.g.,--db-url postgres://user:password@localhost/dbname)
Running the Server
To start the API server, run:
