+# Dev
+
+This repository manages the local Kubernetes development environment for Virtool using Tilt and Minikube.
+
+## Stack
+
+- **Tilt** — orchestrates the dev cluster; the `Tiltfile` is the main entry point
+- **Minikube** — local Kubernetes cluster
+- **KEDA** — scales workflow jobs via a `metrics-api` trigger pointing at `http://virtool-api-web-service.../jobs/counts`
+- **MongoDB + PostgreSQL** — persisted across `tilt up`/`tilt down` runs via PVCs
+- **Azurite** — Azure Blob Storage emulator; uses the well-known dev account `devstoreaccount1` with key `Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==` and persists blobs at `/data` via a PVC
+
+## Layout
+
+```
+manifests/       Kustomize manifests for all cluster resources
+  db/            MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Azurite
+  ingress.yaml
+  migration.yaml
+  storage.yaml
+  ui/
+  virtool/
+  workflows/     ScaledJob manifests for each workflow
+scripts/
+  init.sh        Create/reset the Minikube cluster
+  hosts.sh       Write cluster IP to /etc/hosts
+  pull.sh        Update image tags in kustomization + migration manifests
+  wipe.sh        Nuke PVCs, PVs, and host data
+Tiltfile         Tilt configuration (resources, buttons, live-edit flags)
+```
+
+## Common tasks
+
+**Start the cluster**
+```shell
+bash scripts/init.sh   # first time or full reset
+tilt up
+```
+
+**Live-edit a service** (repo must be a sibling of this directory)
+```shell
+tilt up -- --to-edit backend   # virtool/virtool
+tilt up -- --to-edit ui        # virtool/virtool-ui
+tilt up -- --to-edit <workflow-name>
+```
+
+Workflow names: `build-index`, `create-sample`, `create-subtraction`, `iimi`, `pathoscope`, `nuvs`
+
+**Update images**
+```shell
+bash scripts/pull.sh
+```
+Or click the **Pull** button in the Tilt UI.
+
+**Wipe persistent data**
+```shell
+bash scripts/wipe.sh
+```
+Or click the **Wipe** button in the Tilt UI (requires confirmation).
+
+**Update `/etc/hosts`** (needed once per cluster recreation)
+```shell
+bash scripts/hosts.sh
+```
