+# Habitica in Kubernetes
+This is a set of sample Kubernetes configuration files to launch Habitica under AWS, both as a single-node web frontend as well as a multi-node web frontend.
+
+## Prerequisites
+* An AWS account.
+* A working Kubernetes installation.
+* A basic understanding of how to use Kubernetes. https://kubernetes.io/
+* A persistent volume for MongoDB data.
+* Docker images of Habitica.
+  + You can use your own, or use the one included in the YAML files.
+  + If you use your own, you'll need a fork of the Habitica GitHub repo and your own Docker Hub repo, both of which are free.
+
+## Before you begin
+1. Set up Kubernetes.
+2. Create an EBS volume for MongoDB data.
+   + Make a note of the name, you'll need it later.
+
+## Starting MongoDB
+1. Edit mongo.yaml
+  + Find the volumeID line.
+  + Change the volume to the one created in the section above.
+2. Run the following commands:
+  + `kubectl.sh create -f mongo.yaml`
+  + `kubectl.sh create -f mongo-service.yaml`
+3. Wait for the MongoDB pod to start up.
+
+## Starting a Single Web Frontend
+
+1. Run the following commands:
+  + `kubectl.sh create -f habitica.yaml`
+  + `kubectl.sh create -f habitica-service.yaml`
+2. Wait for the frontend to start up.
+
+## Starting Multi-node Web Frontend
+1. Run the following commands :
+  + `kubectl.sh create -f habitica-rc.yaml`
+  + `kubectl.sh create -f habitica-service.yaml`
+2. Wait for the frontend to start up.
+
+## Accessing Your Habitica web interface
+Using `kubectl describe svc habiticaweb` get the hostname generated for the Habitica service. Open a browser and go to http://hostname:3000 to access the web front-end for the installations above.
+
+## Shutting down
+Shutting down is basically done by reversing the steps above:
++ `kubectl.sh delete -f habitica-service.yaml`
++ `kubectl.sh delete -f habitica.yaml (or habitica-rc.yaml)`
++ `kubectl.sh delete -f mongo-service.yaml`
++ `kubectl.sh delete -f mongo.yaml`
+
+You can also just shut down all of Kubernetes as well.
+
+## Notes
++ MongoDB data will be persistent! If you need to start with a fresh database, you'll need to remove the volume and re-create it.
++ On AWS, you probably want to use at least t2.medium minion nodes for Kubernetes. The default t2.small is too small for more than two Habitica nodes.
+
+## Future Plans
++ Multi-node MongoDB.
++ Monitoring
++ Instructions for a better hostname. The default generated ones stink.
++ More to come....
