I am running minikube on my mac for developing/testing my micro-services locally. I was wondering if it is possible to debug my NodeJS in minikube via node-inspector? (other tools are also welcome). I saw that there is an option to use node-inspector using docker-compose but since i am running all my services in k8s i choose Minikube.
Thanks in advanced!
Say you have this npm script:
"dev": "concurrently -p \"[{name}]\" -n \"NODE INSPECTOR,NODEMON\" -c \"bgBlue.bold,bgGreen.bold\" \"node-inspector --web-port=8081 --debug-port=5860 --preload\" \"cross-env NODE_ENV=development nodemon ./node_modules/babel-cli/bin/babel-node.js --max-old-space-size=512 --debug=5860 ./index.js\""node-inspector is not running on port 8081.
Now in your kubernetes.yml you could have the following:
