# Kind Cluster

1. Download and install kind in your local environment by following [these](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/#installation) steps.
2. Create a kind.conf file with the below contents

```yaml
kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
nodes:
- role: control-plane
  extraPortMappings:
  - containerPort: 30000
    hostPort: 30000
    listenAddress: "127.0.0.1"
    protocol: TCP
  - containerPort: 30001
    hostPort: 30001
    listenAddress: "127.0.0.1"
    protocol: TCP
  - containerPort: 30002
    hostPort: 30002
    listenAddress: "127.0.0.1"
    protocol: TCP
  - containerPort: 30003
    hostPort: 30003
    listenAddress: "127.0.0.1"
    protocol: TCP
  - containerPort: 30004
    hostPort: 30004
    listenAddress: "127.0.0.1"
    protocol: TCP
  - containerPort: 30005
    hostPort: 30005
    listenAddress: "127.0.0.1"
    protocol: TCP
  - containerPort: 30006
    hostPort: 30006
    listenAddress: "127.0.0.1"
    protocol: TCP
  - containerPort: 32000
    hostPort: 32000
    listenAddress: "127.0.0.1"
    protocol: TCP
  - containerPort: 30033
    hostPort: 30033
    listenAddress: "127.0.0.1"
    protocol: TCP

```

3. Create a kind cluster using the kind.conf file

```sh
kind create cluster --name gopaddle --config kind.conf
```

4. Perform [these](https://app.gitbook.com/o/kaNNkk5MWdImsh5Ur4MO/s/5QxXxCob5M5VXQJTryRc/~/changes/7/overview/getting-started/installing-community-edition/helm) steps to install gopaddle helm chart
5. Once gopaddle is installed, access the gopaddle UI by following [these](https://app.gitbook.com/o/kaNNkk5MWdImsh5Ur4MO/s/5QxXxCob5M5VXQJTryRc/~/changes/7/overview/getting-started/installing-community-edition/accessing-gopaddle-ui) steps.
