Fedora (Single Node)

Prerequisites

  1. You need 2 or more machines with Fedora installed. These can be either bare metal machines or virtual machines.

Instructions

This is a getting started guide for Fedora. It is a manual configuration so you understand all the underlying packages / services / ports, etc…

This guide will only get ONE node (previously minion) working. Multiple nodes require a functional networking configuration done outside of Kubernetes. Although the additional Kubernetes configuration requirements should be obvious.

The Kubernetes package provides a few services: kube-apiserver, kube-scheduler, kube-controller-manager, kubelet, kube-proxy. These services are managed by systemd and the configuration resides in a central location: /etc/kubernetes. We will break the services up between the hosts. The first host, fed-master, will be the Kubernetes master. This host will run the kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, and kube-scheduler. In addition, the master will also run etcd (not needed if etcd runs on a different host but this guide assumes that etcd and Kubernetes master run on the same host). The remaining host, fed-node will be the node and run kubelet, proxy and docker.

System Information:

Hosts:

fed-master = 192.168.121.9
fed-node = 192.168.121.65

Prepare the hosts:

dnf -y install kubernetes
dnf -y install etcd
echo "192.168.121.9    fed-master
192.168.121.65    fed-node" >> /etc/hosts
# Comma separated list of nodes in the etcd cluster
KUBE_MASTER="--master=http://fed-master:8080"
systemctl mask firewalld.service
systemctl stop firewalld.service

systemctl disable iptables.service
systemctl stop iptables.service

Configure the Kubernetes services on the master.

# The address on the local server to listen to.
KUBE_API_ADDRESS="--address=0.0.0.0"

# Comma separated list of nodes in the etcd cluster
KUBE_ETCD_SERVERS="--etcd-servers=http://127.0.0.1:2379"

# Address range to use for services
KUBE_SERVICE_ADDRESSES="--service-cluster-ip-range=10.254.0.0/16"

# Add your own!
KUBE_API_ARGS=""
ETCD_LISTEN_CLIENT_URLS="http://0.0.0.0:2379"
for SERVICES in etcd kube-apiserver kube-controller-manager kube-scheduler; do
    systemctl restart $SERVICES
    systemctl enable $SERVICES
    systemctl status $SERVICES
done

Configure the Kubernetes services on the node.

We need to configure the kubelet on the node.

###
# Kubernetes kubelet (node) config

# The address for the info server to serve on (set to 0.0.0.0 or "" for all interfaces)
KUBELET_ADDRESS="--address=0.0.0.0"

# You may leave this blank to use the actual hostname
KUBELET_HOSTNAME="--hostname-override=fed-node"

# location of the api-server
KUBELET_ARGS="--cgroup-driver=systemd --kubeconfig=/etc/kubernetes/master-kubeconfig.yaml"
kind: Config
clusters:
- name: local
  cluster:
    server: http://fed-master:8080
users:
- name: kubelet
contexts:
- context:
    cluster: local
    user: kubelet
  name: kubelet-context
current-context: kubelet-context
for SERVICES in kube-proxy kubelet docker; do 
    systemctl restart $SERVICES
    systemctl enable $SERVICES
    systemctl status $SERVICES 
done
kubectl get nodes
NAME            STATUS      AGE      VERSION
fed-node        Ready       4h

To delete fed-node from your Kubernetes cluster, one should run the following on fed-master (Please do not do it, it is just for information):

kubectl delete -f ./node.json

You should be finished!

The cluster should be running! Launch a test pod.
