Rancher Labs is awesome and has released k3s as v1.0.0, however at the time of
|
|
|
|
creating this role I do not have a k3s cluster in production nor am I unlikely
|
|
|
|
to ever have one. Please ensure you practice extreme caution and operational
|
|
|
|
rigor before using this role for any serious workloads.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have any problems please create a GitHub issue, I maintain this role in
|
|
|
|
my spare time so I cannot promise a speedy fix delivery.

#### Important note about `k3s_release_version`
|
|
|
|
|
2020-05-18 21:45:48 +02:00
|
|
|
If you do not set a `k3s_release_version` the latest version from the stable
|
|
|
|
channel of k3s will be installed. If you are developing against a specific
|
|
|
|
version of k3s you must ensure this is set in your Ansible configuration, eg:
|
2019-03-10 15:53:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
2020-05-18 21:45:48 +02:00
|
|
|
k3s_release_version: v1.16.9+k3s1
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to install specific K3s "Channels", below are some
|
|
|
|
examples for `k3s_release_version`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
|
|
k3s_release_version: false # defaults to 'stable' channel
|
|
|
|
k3s_release_version: stable # latest 'stable' release
|
|
|
|
k3s_release_version: testing # latest 'testing' release
|
|
|
|
k3s_release_version: v1.18 # latest v1.18 release
|
|
|
|
k3s_release_version: v1.17-testing # latest v1.17 testing release
|
2019-03-10 15:53:52 +01:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
2020-07-25 15:03:53 +02:00
|
|
|
#### Important node about `k3s_install_hard_links`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using the [system-upgrade-controller](https://github.com/rancher/system-upgrade-controller)
|
|
|
|
you will need to use hard links rather than symbolic links as the controller
|
|
|
|
will not be able to follow symbolic links. This option has been added however
|
|
|
|
is not enabled by default to avoid breaking existing installations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To enable the use of hard links, ensure `k3s_install_hard_links` is set
|
|
|
|
to `true`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
|
|
k3s_install_hard_links: true
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The result of this can be seen by running the following in `k3s_install_dir`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`ls -larthi | grep -E 'k3s|ctr|ctl' | grep -vE ".sh$" | sort`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Symbolic Links:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
#### Important note about `k3s_build_cluster`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you set `k3s_build_cluster` to `false`, this role will install each play
|
|
|
|
host as a standalone node. An example of when you might be building a large
|
|
|
|
number of IoT devices running K3s. Below is a hypothetical situation where we
|
|
|
|
are to deploy 25 Rasberry Pi devices, each a standalone system and not
|
|
|
|
a cluster of 25 nodes. To do this we'd use a playbook similar to the below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
|
|
- hosts: k3s_nodes # eg. 25 RPi's defined in our inventory.
|
|
|
|
vars:
|
|
|
|
k3s_build_cluster: false
|
|
|
|
roles:
|
|
|
|
- xanmanning.k3s
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
2019-12-21 18:11:30 +01:00
|
|
|
#### Important note about `k3s_non_root`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install k3s as non root you must not use `become: true`. The intention of
|
|
|
|
this variable is to run a single node development environment. At the time
|
|
|
|
of release v1.0.1, rootless is still experimental.
|
|
|
|
|
2020-05-30 16:16:20 +02:00
|
|
|
You must also ensure that you set both `k3s_use_experimental`
|
|
|
|
and `k3s_use_unsupported_config` to `true`.
|
2019-12-21 18:11:30 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally `k3s_install_dir` must be writable by your user.
|
|
|
|
|
2019-12-04 18:17:15 +01:00
|
|
|
#### Important notes about `k3s_control_node_address` and `k3s_control_token`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you set this, you are explicitly specifying the control host that agents
|
|
|
|
should connect to, the value should be an IP address or FQDN.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the control host is not configured by this role, then you need to also
|
|
|
|
specify the `k3s_control_token`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that this may potentially break setting up agents.
|

### Host Variables

#### Important note about `k3s_control_node` and High Availability (HA)
|
2019-03-10 15:53:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2020-01-13 22:32:31 +01:00
|
|
|
By default only one host will be defined as a control node by Ansible, If you
|
2020-05-30 16:16:20 +02:00
|
|
|
do not set a host as a control node, this role will automatically delegate
|
2020-01-11 13:31:23 +01:00
|
|
|
the first play host as a control node (master). This is not suitable for use in
|
|
|
|
a Production workload.

If multiple hosts have `k3s_control_node` set to true, you must also set
|
|
|
|
`k3s_datastore_endpoint` as the connection string to a MySQL or PostgreSQL
|
|
|
|
database, or etcd cluster else the play will fail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If using TLS, the CA, Certificate and Key need to already be available on
|
|
|
|
the play hosts.

|
|
|
It is also possible, though not supported, to run a single K3s master with a
|
|
|
|
`k3s_datastore_endpoint` defined. As this is not a typically supported
|
|
|
|
configuration you will need to set `k3s_use_unsupported_config` to `true`.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Since K3s v1.0.0 it is possible to use DQLite as the backend database, and this
|
|
|
|
is done by setting `k3s_dqlite_datastore` to true. As this is an experimental
|
|
|
|
feature you will also need to set `k3s_use_experimental` to true.

#### Important note about `k3s_flannel_interface`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are running k3s on systems with multiple network interfaces, it is
|
|
|
|
necessary to have the flannel interface on a network interface that is routable
|
|
|
|
to the master node(s).

#### Notes about `_args`, `_labels` and `_taints` variables

Affected variables:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `k3s_kube_apiserver_args`
|
|
|
|
- `k3s_kube_scheduler_args`
|
|
|
|
- `k3s_kube_controller_manager_args`
|
|
|
|
- `k3s_kube_cloud_controller_manager_args`
|
|
|
|
- `k3s_kubelet_args`
|
|
|
|
- `k3s_kube_proxy_args`

|
|
|
These parameters allow for assigning additional args to K3s during runtime.
|
|
|
|
For instance, to use the Azure Cloud Controller, assign the below to
|
|
|
|
the master node's configuration in your host file.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**YAML**:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
|
|
k3s_kubelet_args:
|
|
|
|
- cloud-provider: external
|
|
|
|
- provider-id: azure
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
2020-07-04 14:24:10 +02:00
|
|
|
_Note, when using an external cloud controller as above, ensure that the native
|
|
|
|
k3s cloud controller is disabled by setting the_ `k3s_disable_cloud_controller`
|
|
|
|
_to_ `true`.

Ultimately these variables are lists of key-value pairs that will be iterated
|
|
|
|
on. The below example will output the following:
