Configuring a local Knative function routing environment can be difficult, particularly when working with DNS and networking settings. By leveraging Kourier as an ingress controller and configuring endpoints correctly, developers can expose functions in a more accessible way. This guide covers installing K3s, setting up Knative Serving, and deploying a basic function with a local Docker registry. The goal is to achieve seamless routing where functions can be invoked using user-friendly URLs, making local development smoother and more production-ready.
