# Ansible Role: k3s
Ansible role for installing [Racher Labs k3s](https://k3s.io/) ("Lightweight
Kubernetes") as either a standalone server or cluster.
## Requirements
This role has been tested on Ansible 2.6.0+ against the following Linux Distributions:
- CentOS 7
- Debian 9
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
## Disclaimer
:warning: Not suitable for production use.
Whilst Rancher Labs are awesome, k3s is a fairly new project and not yet a v1.0
release so extreme caution and operational rigor is recommended before using
this role for any serious development.
## Role Variables
### Group Variables
Below are variables that are set against all of the play hosts for environment
consistency.
| Variable | Description | Default Value |
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------|
| `k3s_release_version` | Use a specific version of k3s, eg. `v0.2.0`. Specify `false` for latest. | `false` |
| `k3s_github_url` | Set the GitHub URL to install k3s from. | https://github.com/rancher/k3s |
| `k3s_install_dir` | Installation directory for k3s. | `/usr/local/bin` |
| `k3s_control_workers` | Are control hosts also workers? | `true` |
| `k3s_ensure_docker_installed ` | Use Docker rather than Containerd? | `false` |
#### Important note about `k3s_release_version`
If you do not set a `k3s_release_version` the latest version 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:
```yaml
k3s_release_version: v0.2.0
```
### Host Variables
Below are variables that are set against specific hosts in your inventory.
| Variable | Description | Default Value |
|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
| `k3s_control_node` | Define the host as a control plane node, (True/False). | `false` |
#### Important note about `k3s_control_node`
Currently only one host can be defined as a control node, if multiple hosts are
set to true the play will fail.
If you do not set a host as a control node, the role will automatically delegate
the first play host as a control node.
## Dependencies
No dependencies on other roles.
## Example Playbook
Example playbook:
```yaml
- hosts: k3s_nodes
roles:
- { role: xanmanning.k3s, k3s_release_version: v0.2.0 }
```
