+- Debian-based system
+- docker

+- helm v3.15.0+

+You need to disable IPV6 in Docker. This can be achieved by adding adding `"ipv6": false` to the Docker daemon config.
+If no file exists, this can be achieved by (**overwrites existing config file**):
+```bash
+echo '{"ipv6": false}' > /etc/docker/daemon.json
+```
+Restart the Docker daemon for the configuration to apply:
+```bash
+sudo systemctl restart docker
+```
+
+# How to run
+## Single-node cluster
+```bash
+make
+```
+
+## Multi-node cluster
+```bash
+make multi_node
+```
