Give Skaffold a shot, takes a lot of the pain out of running locally. I think of it as a simple wrapper around Docker, Kubernetes, Helm and Port-Forwarding (plus other options I don't use) that makes it easy to use the same build/deploy definition to work locally or build/deploy in CI/CD.

Couple examples:

- Build the images that need it with "skaffold build"

- Can watch for changes are rebuild automatically when you "skaffold dev"

- Can automatically detect your services (or arbitrary) ports and forward them when working locally

- Advanced features like profiles and modules for supporting multiple environments
