Building the Image

Prerequisites

Before you can build the NGINX Kubernetes Gateway, make sure you have the following software installed on your machine:

• git
• GNU Make
• Docker v18.09+

Steps

1. Clone the repo and change into the nginx-kubernetes-gateway directory:

   git clone https://github.com./nginxinc/nginx-kubernetes-gateway.git --branch v0.1.0
   cd nginx-kubernetes-gateway
   

2. Build the image:

   make PREFIX=myregistry.example.com/nginx-kubernetes-gateway container
   

   Set the PREFIX variable to the name of the registry you'd like to push the image to. By default, the image will be named nginx-kubernetes-gateway:0.1.0.

3. Push the image to your container registry:

   docker push myregistry.example.com/nginx-kubernetes-gateway:0.1.0
   

   Make sure to substitute myregistry.example.com/nginx-kubernetes-gateway with your registry.
