## Prerequisites

This section follows on from [Add Longhorn Storage](/guides/local-vagrant-cluster-storage/). Be sure to complete that before commencing with this.

if not already shelled into the workstation, from `/home/user/projects/infctl-cli` we need to change directory to

```bash
cd vagrant/dev/ubuntu/
```
so we can ssh to the workstation

```bash
vagrant ssh workstation
```

## Familiarise yourself with …

* [install_metallb.sh](https://codeberg.org/headshed/infctl-cli/src/branch/main/vagrant/dev/ubuntu/scripts/install_metallb.sh) applies a kubernetes manifest to install metallb and then applies an `IPAddressPool` and `L2Advertisement` which will be used later by `traefik` to access a loadbalancer in order to expose services so that we can access them from outside of kubernetes. This is a key part of MVK and one which does not exist in Kubernetes as this is typically expected to be provided by a managed kubernetes cloud service.
* [install_traefik.sh](https://codeberg.org/headshed/infctl-cli/src/branch/main/vagrant/dev/ubuntu/scripts/install_traefik.sh) sets up some custom variables to enable an internal dashboard, ports for ingress, log level and loadbalancer.

## Run the pipelines …

The [metallb pipeline](https://codeberg.org/headshed/infctl-cli/src/branch/main/vagrant/dev/ubuntu/pipelines/vagrant-metallb.json) can be run with :


```bash
LOG_FORMAT=basic infctl -f pipelines/vagrant-metallb.json
```

traefik ingress can be installed with 

```bash
LOG_FORMAT=basic infctl -f pipelines/vagrant-ingress.json
```
