+# Flux Getting Started Guide
+
+# 1 - Kubernetes
+
+For this tutorial, I use Kuberentes 1.17
+To get 1.17 for Linux\Windows, just use `kind`
+
+```
+#Windows
+kind create cluster --name flux --image kindest/node:v1.17.0@sha256:9512edae126da271b66b990b6fff768fbb7cd786c7d39e86bdf55906352fdf62
+
+#Linux
+kind create cluster --name flux --kubeconfig ~/.kube/kind-flux --image kindest/node:v1.17.0@sha256:9512edae126da271b66b990b6fff768fbb7cd786c7d39e86bdf55906352fdf62
+```
+
+You can use Kubernetes from Docker for Windows\Mac too! :)
+
+# 2 - Flux CLI Container
+
+Let's run a docker container that can access our Kind cluster and run all the dependencies
+for Flux. 
+If you installed Flux CTL & KubeCTL on your machine, go to Part 4
+```
+# Note: make sure we mount the correct network, check the network used (should be bridge)
+#grab the ip address
+docker inspect flux-control-plane
+
+docker run -it --rm --net bridge -v ${home}/.kube/:/root/.kube/ ubuntu:19.10 bash
+
+apt-get update && apt-get install -y nano curl
+# edit kubeconfig, set api address so we can access it from our container
+
+nano ~/.kube/config
+# set it to https://flux-control-plane:6443
+
+```
+
+# 3 - Get kubectl and Flux CTL
+
+```
+curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/`curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt`/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
+chmod +x ./kubectl
+mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
+
+# confirm we can access kind cluster:
+kubectl get nodes
+
+curl -o fluxctl -L https://github.com/fluxcd/flux/releases/download/1.19.0/fluxctl_linux_amd64
+chmod +x ./fluxctl
+mv ./fluxctl /usr/local/bin/fluxctl
+```
+
+# 4 - Installing Flux
+
+```
+kubectl create ns flux
+
+export GHUSER="marcel-dempers"
+fluxctl install \
+--git-user=${GHUSER} \
+--git-email=${GHUSER}@users.noreply.github.com \
+--git-url=git@github.com:${GHUSER}/docker-development-youtube-series \
+--git-path=kubernetes/configmaps,kubernetes/secrets,kubernetes/deployments \
+--namespace=flux | kubectl apply -f -
+
+kubectl -n flux rollout status deployment/flux
+
+export FLUX_FORWARD_NAMESPACE=flux
+fluxctl list-workloads
+fluxctl identity
+

+
+fluxctl sync
+```
