How to Install OpenShift on Kali Linux Latest

OpenShift is an open-source container application platform that allows developers to deploy, run, and manage applications in a containerized environment. Kali Linux is a Debian-based Linux distribution that is designed for digital forensics and penetration testing. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install OpenShift on Kali Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you can install OpenShift on Kali Linux, you need to ensure that you meet the following prerequisites:

  • Have a working Kali Linux installed on your machine
  • Have root access or be a user with sudo privileges
  • Have at least 10 GB of free disk space
  • Have a stable internet connection

Steps to Install OpenShift

Follow the steps below to install OpenShift on Kali Linux Latest:

Step 1: Install Docker and Docker Compose

OpenShift requires Docker to be installed on your machine. You can use the following commands to install Docker and Docker Compose:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker docker-compose

Step 2: Install Minishift

Minishift is a tool that allows you to run OpenShift on your local machine. You can download the latest version of Minishift from the OpenShift website using the following command:

wget https://github.com/minishift/minishift/releases/download/v1.34.3/minishift-1.34.3-linux-amd64.tgz

Once the download is complete, extract the archive using the following command:

tar -xf minishift-1.34.3-linux-amd64.tgz

Step 3: Move Minishift to the Installation Directory

Move the Minishift binary to the /usr/local/bin directory to make it accessible to all users of the system:

sudo mv minishift-1.34.3-linux-amd64/minishift /usr/local/bin/

Step 4: Start Minishift

You can start Minishift using the following command:

minishift start

Minishift will download the required image files and install OpenShift on your machine. This process may take some time depending on your internet connection speed.

Step 5: Access OpenShift Console

Once Minishift has successfully started OpenShift, you can access the OpenShift console by typing the following command in your terminal:

minishift console

This command will open a browser window displaying the OpenShift console.

Step 6: Create a New Application

You can now create a new application on OpenShift. For example, you can create a new Apache web server application by typing the following command:

oc new-app httpd

This command will create a new Apache web server container and deploy it on OpenShift.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we showed you how to install OpenShift on Kali Linux Latest using Minishift. You can now deploy and manage containerized applications on OpenShift using your Kali Linux machine.
