## Description
This PR improves the Kubernetes deployment configuration for better
compatibility with Minikube and local development environments.
### Changes made:
**Kubernetes deployment improvements:**
- Added nginx reverse proxy configuration to `mifos-community` deployment to
forward `/fineract-provider` API requests to the fineract-server backend,
eliminating the need for separate ingress configuration
- Switched from `openmf/community-app` to `openmf/web-app:master` image for
better configurability via ConfigMap
- Added `environment.json` ConfigMap for configuring the web-app frontend
API URLs
- Fixed liveness/readiness probe settings:
- Reduced `initialDelaySeconds` (180s → 90s/60s for fineract-server, 90s →
10s/5s for mifos-community)
- Increased `periodSeconds` (1s → 10s) to reduce unnecessary load
- Added `failureThreshold: 3` for better reliability
- Increased memory limits for `fineract-server` (1Gi → 2Gi) to accommodate
JVM heap + metaspace
- Added explicit `-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=256m` JVM option
**Script improvements:**
- Modernized `kubectl-startup.sh` to use `kubectl wait` instead of polling
loops
- Added `--ignore-not-found=true` to `kubectl-shutdown.sh` for idempotent
cleanup
- Added helpful output messages with access instructions and default
credentials
**Documentation:**
- Updated README.md Minikube section with clearer instructions
- Added `minikube service mifos-community` command for accessing the web UI
- Documented default credentials (`mifos` / `password`)
- Added log checking commands for both deployments
### Why:
The previous Kubernetes configuration had issues running on Minikube with
Docker driver on macOS. The web-app frontend couldn't reach the fineract-server
backend due to network isolation. The nginx reverse proxy solution allows both
frontend and API to be served from the same endpoint.
