Install Packages in all nodes
Log into the Control Plane Node (Note: The following steps must be performed on all three nodes.).
Create configuration file for containerd:
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/containerd.conf
overlay
br_netfilter
EOF
Load modules:
sudo modprobe overlay
sudo modprobe br_netfilter
Set system configurations for Kubernetes networking:
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/99-kubernetes-cri.conf
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 1
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 1
EOF
Apply new settings:
sudo sysctl --system
Install containerd:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y containerd
Create default configuration file for containerd:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/containerd
Generate default containerd configuration and save to the newly created default file:
sudo containerd config default | sudo tee /etc/containerd/config.toml
Restart containerd to ensure new configuration file usage:
sudo systemctl restart containerd
Verify that containerd is running.
sudo systemctl status containerd
Disable swap:
sudo swapoff -a
Disable swap on startup in /etc/fstab:
sudo sed -i '/ swap / s/^\(.*\)$/#\1/g' /etc/fstab
Install dependency packages:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https curl
Download and add GPG key:
curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Add Kubernetes to repository list:
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list
deb https://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main
EOF
Update package listings:
sudo apt-get update
Install Kubernetes packages (Note: If you get a dpkg lock message, just wait a minute or two before trying the command again):
sudo apt-get install -y kubelet=1.21.0-00 kubeadm=1.21.0-00 kubectl=1.21.0-00
Turn off automatic updates:
sudo apt-mark hold kubelet kubeadm kubectl
Initialize the Cluster
- Initialize the Kubernetes cluster on the control plane node using kubeadm (Note: This is only performed on the Control Plane Node):
sudo kubeadm init –pod-network-cidr 192.168.0.0/16 –kubernetes-version 1.21.0
- Set kubectl access:
mkdir -p $HOME/.kube sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config kubectl get nodes
Install the Calico Network Add-On
On the Control Plane Node, install Calico Networking:
kubectl apply -f https://docs.projectcalico.org/manifests/calico.yaml
Check status of the control plane node:
kubectl get nodes
Join the Worker Nodes to the Cluster
In the Control Plane Node, create the token and copy the kubeadm join command (NOTE:The join command can also be found in the output from kubeadm init command):
kubeadm token create –print-join-command OUTPUT: kubeadm join 10.0.1.101:6443 –token 2gbzsg.6hwes2nc3d8pyt28 –discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:2a3d93fb56aa227353ec2810f46739701c1712495fabe2c69db9ee3df48c3317
In both Worker Nodes, paste the kubeadm join command to join the cluster. Use sudo to run it as root:
sudo kubeadm join …
In the Control Plane Node, view cluster status (Note: You may have to wait a few moments to allow all nodes to become ready):
kubectl get nodes
