WalkthroughThe Kubernetes deployment guide replaces its under-construction notice with instructions for local cluster setup, Helm installation, deployment verification, worker configuration, task package provisioning, custom images, and environment-variable forwarding. ChangesKubernetes deployment guide
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The guide currently documents a package-volume setup that does not work with its own kind cluster instructions, so users may be unable to make TDL packages available to workers; merge should wait for that correction, along with a few minor documentation fixes.

containerPath, or explicitly state that the package directory must already exist
inside every eligible kind node.

Kubernetes kubectl get pods --watch followed by kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready label selector documentation
💡 Result:
The kubectl get and kubectl wait commands serve distinct purposes in Kubernetes operations, typically used in sequence to monitor and then verify the state of resources [1][2]. kubectl get pods --watch The --watch (or -w) flag allows you to monitor changes to resources in real-time [3][1]. When used with kubectl get pods, it lists existing pods and then streams subsequent updates (such as additions, modifications, or deletions) to the console [3][4]. This is an interactive way to observe the lifecycle of pods as they transition through various states [1]. kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready [label selector] The kubectl wait command is used to block execution until a specific condition is met on one or more resources [2][5]. It is commonly used in automation scripts to ensure resources reach a desired state before proceeding [2]. When combined with a label selector, it monitors all pods matching that selector. For example: kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready -l app=myapp Key details regarding kubectl wait: - Condition Syntax: The --for flag supports several types of conditions, including status conditions (e.g., condition=Ready), lifecycle states (e.g., create, delete), and custom JSONPath expressions [2][5]. - Default Behavior: The default value for a condition is true [2]. You can specify explicit values using an equals sign, such as --for=condition=Ready=false [2][5]. - Timeout: You can control how long the command waits using the --timeout flag (e.g., --timeout=30s). If the condition is not met within the timeout period, the command exits with an error [2][5]. - Multiple Conditions: You can specify multiple --for flags to wait for multiple conditions to be met in a sequential, AND'ed order [2][5]. While kubectl get --watch provides a human-readable stream of events, kubectl wait is designed for programmatic synchronization, making it the standard choice for CI/CD pipelines and shell scripts requiring state verification [1][2].

Separate the watcher from the readiness check.
kubectl get pods -w runs until interrupted, so the sequential kubectl wait command is not reached. Show the watcher as an optional command in a separate step. Scope the readiness check to app.kubernetes.io/instance=spider instead of --all, so unrelated pods do not affect the result.

Use variable restart counts in the sample output.
The RESTARTS values depend on startup timing. Replace the hard-coded counts with <n> or omit the column. Keep READY 1/1 and STATUS Running as the acceptance criteria.

Official kind documentation extraMounts hostPath node container Kubernetes hostPath path
💡 Result:
To mount a host directory into a kind (Kubernetes in Docker) node, you use the extraMounts configuration in your kind cluster configuration file [1][2]. Configuration You define the extraMounts under the nodes section of your kind configuration YAML [1]. This maps a path on your host machine to a path inside the kind node container [1][2]. Example configuration: kind: Cluster apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4 nodes: - role: control-plane extraMounts: - hostPath: /path/on/your/host containerPath: /path/in/node readOnly: false # Optional: default is false Once the cluster is created with this configuration, the directory from your host will be available at the specified containerPath inside the kind node [2][3]. Using in Kubernetes After the host directory is mounted into the kind node, you can use it in your Kubernetes manifests by creating a PersistentVolume (PV) with a hostPath volume type, pointing to the containerPath you specified in the kind configuration [2][3]. Example PV manifest: apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolume metadata: name: example-pv spec: capacity: storage: 1Gi accessModes: - ReadWriteOnce hostPath: path: /path/in/node # This must match the containerPath from your kind config Important Considerations - Docker Resource Limits: If you are using Docker Desktop (e.g., on macOS or Windows), ensure the directory you are mounting is included in the File Sharing settings of your Docker environment; otherwise, the directory may appear empty inside the container [4]. - Propagation: The extraMounts configuration supports an optional propagation field (None, HostToContainer, or Bidirectional), though it is generally not needed for basic mounting [1]. - Node-Specific: Since kind nodes are separate Docker containers, you must define the extraMounts for each specific node (control-plane or worker) where you want the host path to be accessible [3][5].

Make the hostPath example work with the documented kind setup.
When users create the cluster with kind create cluster --name spider, Kubernetes resolves /path/to/your/packages inside each kind node container. Add extraMounts for every node that can run a worker and set hostPath.path to the matching containerPath, or state that the directory must already exist in each node.

Description
Fills in the Kubernetes deployment guide for Huntsman's user docs, which #441 added as a stub.
The guide documents deploying a Spider cluster with the Spider Helm chart, decoupled from any particular downstream user of Spider:
kubectl/Helm versions, and creating a localkindcluster.gh-pagesbranch, then installing with default values or with a custom values file.spiderConfig.worker.replicas, making TDL packages available to workers (volume mount vs. a custom worker image built onghcr.io/y-scope/spider/worker), and forwarding environment variables to tasks viaextra_envs+inherited_env.Settings that tune each component's runtime behavior are intentionally left to the configuration guides; this guide links to them rather than duplicating them.
