This repository mainly handles scripts for automation of setting up and destroying kubernetes cluster using k3s for usage with personal projects. YAML Configuration and scripts related to bringing up and down the cluster lives in this repository.
The following is required to provision a kubernetes cluster using this repository:
- Podman - k3d runs kubernetes nodes in Podman/Docker hence Podman/Docker is required to be installed on the host machine to run kubernetes successfully.
- k3d - Lightweight wrapper around k3s running on Docker, can be used to bring up single-node and multi-node clusters easily.
Step 1: Make sure you have installed Docker and k3d on your system since we will be using them to bring up the cluster
Step 2: Navigate yourself to the scripts folder where we have the configuration for the cluster present in the cluster.yml file for which the reference can be found here
Step 3: Grant execution permissions to the following scripts: up.sh and down.sh with the following command:
chmod +x up.sh
chmod +x down.sh
Step 4: To bring up the cluster, execute the up.sh using the command: bash up.sh. Running this command will also generate the KubeConfig in your home directory as well (present in ~/.kube/config)
Step 5: To bring down the cluster, execute the down.sh using the command: bash down.sh. Running this remove the cluster and also get rid of all containers which were running to support the uptime of the cluster.
