# Quickstart: K3s single node
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is the quickstart guide to creating your own single-node k3s "cluster".
|
||
|
|
||
|
:hand: This example requires your Ansible user to be able to connect to the
|
||
|
server over SSH using key-based authentication. The user is also has an entry
|
||
|
in a sudoers file that allows privilege escalation without requiring a
|
||
|
password.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To test this is the case, run the following check replacing `<ansible_user>`
|
||
|
and `<server_name>`. The expected output is `Works`
|
||
|
|
||
|
`ssh <ansible_user>@<server_name> 'sudo cat /etc/shadow >/dev/null && echo "Works"'`
|
||
|
|
||
|
For example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```text
|
||
|
[ xmanning@dreadfort:~/git/kubernetes-playground ] (master) $ ssh ansible@kube-0 'sudo cat /etc/shadow >/dev/null && echo "Works"'
|
||
|
Works
|
||
|
[ xmanning@dreadfort:~/git/kubernetes-playground ] (master) $
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Directory structure
|
||
|
|
||
|
Our working directory will have the following files:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```text
|
||
|
kubernetes-playground/
|
||
|
|_ inventory.yml
|
||
|
|_ single_node.yml
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Inventory
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here's a YAML based example inventory for our server called `inventory.yml`:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```yaml
|
||
|
---
|
||
|
|
||
|
k3s_cluster:
|
||
|
hosts:
|
||
|
kube-0:
|
||
|
ansible_user: ansible
|
||
|
ansible_host: 10.10.9.2
|
||
|
ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/bin/python3
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
We can test this works with `ansible -i inventory.yml -m ping all`, expected
|
||
|
result:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```text
|
||
|
kube-0 | SUCCESS => {
|
||
|
"changed": false,
|
||
|
"ping": "pong"
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Playbook
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here is our playbook for a single node k3s cluster (`single_node.yml`):
|
||
|
|
||
|
```yaml
|
||
|
---
|
||
|
|
||
|
- name: Build a single node k3s cluster
|
||
|
hosts: kube-0
|
||
|
vars:
|
||
|
k3s_become: true
|
||
|
roles:
|
||
|
- role: xanmanning.k3s
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Execution
|
||
|
|
||
|
To execute the playbook against our inventory file, we will run the following
|
||
|
command:
|
||
|
|
||
|
`ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml single_node.yml`
|
||
|
|
||
|
The output we can expect is similar to the below, with no failed or unreachable
|
||
|
nodes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```text
|
||
|
PLAY RECAP *******************************************************************************************************
|
||
|
kube-0 : ok=39 changed=8 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=39 rescued=0 ignored=0
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Testing
|
||
|
|
||
|
After logging into the server, we can test that k3s is running and that it is
|
||
|
ready to execute our Kubernetes workloads by running the following:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `sudo kubectl get nodes`
|
||
|
- `sudo kubectl get pods -o wide --all-namespaces`
|
||
|
|
||
|
:hand: Note we are using `sudo` because we need to be root to access the
|
||
|
kube config for this node. This behavior can be changed with specifying
|
||
|
`write-kubeconfig-mode: '0644'` in `k3s_server`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Get Nodes**:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```text
|
||
|
ansible@kube-0:~$ sudo kubectl get nodes
|
||
|
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
|
||
|
kube-0 Ready master 5m27s v1.19.4+k3s
|
||
|
ansible@kube-0:~$
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Get Pods**:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```text
|
||
|
ansible@kube-0:~$ sudo kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o wide
|
||
|
