Virtool

Development

The local Kubernetes development environment uses Tilt on Minikube. Install the tools listed in the dev cluster documentation, then run these commands from the repository root:

mise run init # one-time cluster setup
mise run up # bring up this worktree and start Tilt
mise run up:minikube # start Minikube only
mise run down # tear down workloads, keeping data
mise run destroy # delete the namespace, workloads, and data
mise run wipe # wipe this worktree's data
mise run tilt # show Minikube, Tilt, and worktree namespace status

Set WT to use a short, memorable namespace slug:

WT=vir3044 mise run up

Arguments after up are passed to Tilt, so live-edit targets can be combined:

mise run up --web --internal

See the dev cluster documentation for the architecture, worktree isolation, manifests, live editing, and data-wiping details.
