Kubernetes install with kubeadm

Network Example

10.10.11.20 kubemaster kubemaster.myhypervisor.ca
10.10.11.30 kube1 kube1.myhypervisor.ca
10.10.11.36 kube2 kube2.myhypervisor.ca

Disable SELinux.

setenforce 0
sed -i --follow-symlinks 's/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/g' /etc/sysconfig/selinux

Enable the br_netfilter module for cluster communication.

modprobe br_netfilter
echo '1' > /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables

Disable swap to prevent memory allocation issues.

swapoff -a
vim /etc/fstab
#Remove swap from fstab

Setup NTP

yum install -y ntp
systemctl enable ntpd
systemctl start ntpd

Install Docker CE.

Install the Docker prerequisites.

yum install -y yum-utils device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2

Add the Docker repo and install Docker.

yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
yum install -y docker-ce

Add the Kubernetes repo.

cat << EOF | tee /etc/yum.repos.d/kubernetes.repo
[kubernetes]
name=Kubernetes
baseurl=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/repos/kubernetes-el7-x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
repo_gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/yum-key.gpg
       https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/rpm-package-key.gpg
EOF

Install Kubernetes.

yum install -y kubelet kubeadm kubectl

Reboot.

Enable and start Docker and Kubernetes.

systemctl enable docker
systemctl enable kubelet
systemctl start docker
systemctl start kubelet

Check the group Docker is running in.

docker info | grep -i cgroup

*Note: Complete the following section on the MASTER ONLY!

Initialize the cluster using the IP range for Flannel.

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

Copy the kubeadmin join output.

Create standard user

useradd kubeuser
usermod -aG wheel kubeuser
passwd kubeuser
su kubeuser
mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config

Deploy Flannel.

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coreos/flannel/master/Documentation/kube-flannel.yml

Check the cluster state.

kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

Note: Complete the following steps on the NODES ONLY!

Run the join command that you copied earlier, then check your nodes from the master.

kubectl get nodes

Create a service account

Copy the token in a safe location, you will be able to use that token for services such as the k8s dashboard

Creating a admin / service account user called k8sadmin

kubectl create serviceaccount k8sadmin -n kube-system

Give the user admin privileges

kubectl create clusterrolebinding k8sadmin --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kube-system:k8sadmin

Get the token

kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $(sudo kubectl -n kube-system get secret | (grep k8sadmin || echo "$_") | awk '{print $1}') | grep token: | awk '{print $2}'

Installing MetalLB

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/metallb/v0.8.3/manifests/metallb.yaml

Create a file called metallb.yml

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  namespace: metallb-system
  name: config
data:
  config: |
    address-pools:
    - name: default
      protocol: layer2
      addresses:
      - 10.10.11.150-10.10.11.160
kubectl create -f metallb.yml

Installing Dashboard

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.0.0-beta8/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml

Create a file called kube-dashboard-service.yml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/name: load-balancer-dashboard
  name: dashboard-service
  namespace: kubernetes-dashboard
spec:
  ports:
    - port: 8080
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: 8443
  selector:
    k8s-app: kubernetes-dashboard
  type: LoadBalancer
kubectl create -f kube-dashboard-service.yml
kubectl get all -A

With the command "kubectl get all -A" you will be able to find the external IP provided by metallb, only https is supported, use the token from the previous step to login to the dashboard.
