+## Initial Steps (readying your app)
+*Note: I assume you already have a minikube running*
+1. check if you have any pods running with `kubectl get pod` and stop them if so
+
+2. create external configurations
+    - kubectl apply -f mongo-config.yaml
+    - kubectl apply -f mongo-secret.yaml
+    ★ the -f is for file
+
+3. create connection for the database
+    - kubectl apply -f mongo.yaml
+
+4. deploy the web app
+    - kubectl apply -f webapp.yaml
+
+
+## Kubectl
+1. check your pods using `kubectl get all`
+2. check your configmap using `kubectl get configmap`
+3. check your secrets using `kubectl get secret`
+
+ - you can use `kubectl get [component_name]` to get some data for any component or run `kubectl get --help` for help with the `get` subcommand
+
+ - you can use `kubectl describe service [service_name]` to get a description of the service
+
+ - you can use `kubectl logs [pod_name]` to get the logs for that pod
+
+## Accessing the Application Externally
+In our case from the browser
+1. use `kubectl get svc` to get the service
+2. get the `nodPort`'s ip using `minikube ip`
+★ you can access more data using `kubectl get node -o wide`
+3. access the ip using the corresponding IP address : port
