Try KubeRocketCI Locally in 2 Commands

Evaluating an internal developer platform without a working instance is like buying a car from a brochure. Every KubeRocketCI install path in the official docs assumes a cluster you already have - AWS EKS, GKE, an on-prem control plane. Today I ran the try-kuberocketci testbed end-to-end on my Apple Silicon Mac using Docker Desktop and two commands: make testbed (approximately 18–20 minutes) and make e2e (approximately 12 minutes). The result is a fully wired KubeRocketCI local install - Tekton, Argo CD, SonarQube, self-hosted GitLab CE, Prometheus, Grafana, Tekton Results, and the Portal - running in a disposable kind cluster. No cloud account. No /etc/hosts edits. No clicking through UIs to trigger pipelines. This post walks through exactly what happened, command by command, screenshot by screenshot.
