Manual Deploy (without GitHub Actions)

If you want to deploy without CI — useful for quick tests or air-gapped environments.

Build and load the image​

docker build -t my-app:dev .
kind load docker-image my-app:dev --name dev

Create a DevStagingEnvironment manifest​

dev-environment.yaml
apiVersion: apps.example.com/v1alpha1
kind: DevStagingEnvironment
metadata:
  name: my-app-dev
spec:
  deployment:
    image: my-app:dev
    port: 8080
    healthCheck:
      path: /healthz
  service:
    port: 8080
  ingress:
    enabled: true
    host: my-app.localhost
    ingressClassName: nginx
  dependencies:
    - type: postgres
      version: "16"
    - type: redis

Deploy​

kindling deploy -f dev-environment.yaml

Verify​

kindling status
curl http://my-app.localhost/healthz

Clean up​

kubectl delete devstagingenvironment my-app-dev
