Creating a single-node cluster#
These instructions outline a quick method for running a local k0s master and worker in a single node.
NOTE: This method of running k0s is only recommended for dev, test or POC environments.
Prepare dependencies#
1. Download the k0s binary#
curl -sSLf https://get.k0s.sh | sh
2. Download the kubectl binary#
sudo curl --output /usr/local/sbin/kubectl -L "https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
3. Make both binaries executable#
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/kubectl
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/k0s
Start k0s#
1. Create the k0s config directory#
mkdir -p ${HOME}/.k0s
2. Generate a default cluster configuration#
k0s default-config | tee ${HOME}/.k0s/k0s.yaml
3. Start k0s#
sudo k0s server -c ${HOME}/.k0s/k0s.yaml --enable-worker &
Use kubectl to access k0s#
1. Save kubeconfig for user#
sudo cat /var/lib/k0s/pki/admin.conf | tee ~/.k0s/kubeconfig
2. Set the KUBECONFIG environment variable#
export KUBECONFIG="${HOME}/.k0s/kubeconfig"
3. Monitor cluster startup#
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
