Install Kubernetes

This part of the installation is carried out on all nodes.

sudo su

systemctl enable docker && systemctl start docker

CNI_VERSION="v0.6.0"
mkdir -p /opt/cni/bin
curl -L "https://github.com/containernetworking/plugins/releases/download/${CNI_VERSION}/cni-plugins-amd64-${CNI_VERSION}.tgz" | tar -C /opt/cni/bin -xz

RELEASE="$(curl -sSL https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)"

mkdir -p /opt/bin
cd /opt/bin
curl -L --remote-name-all https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/${RELEASE}/bin/linux/amd64/{kubeadm,kubelet,kubectl}
chmod +x {kubeadm,kubelet,kubectl}

curl -sSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/${RELEASE}/build/debs/kubelet.service" | sed "s:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:g" > /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service
mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service.d
curl -sSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/${RELEASE}/build/debs/10-kubeadm.conf" | sed "s:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:g" > /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service.d/10-kubeadm.conf

systemctl enable kubelet && systemctl start kubelet

exit

Master node

This part of the installation is carried out on the master node only.

pod-network-cidr is required for the CNI plugin flannel to work.

sudo kubeadm init --pod-network-cidr=10.244.0.0/16

mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config

Deploy CNI flannel:

sudo sysctl net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=1
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coreos/flannel/v0.9.1/Documentation/kube-flannel.yml

Optional

By default pods can't be deployed on master nodes. To allow pods on master nodes and also allow a single node deploy:

kubectl taint nodes --all node-role.kubernetes.io/master-

Note the service type LoadBalancer won't work by default. This feature seems exclusive to cloud hosts at the moment.

Add ingress (optional)

Ingress won't work without first setting up an Ingress controller.

Deploy an NGINX ingress controller by applying this inline yml config (note: LoadBalancer is used and requires the provider enviroment supports it):

kubectl apply -f - <<'EOF'
