THIS PROJECT IS DEPRECATED

I deprecated it because I can’t maintain Kubernetes updates (and test them all). Currently I am focused on maintaining https://github.com/valentin2105/Kubernetes-Saltstack which allows the creation of a single node cluster, too. Using Saltstack is more generally flexible, and also allows the creation of a production cluster.

Other tools like Simplekube: Minikube, k9s, microk8s, etc. - these all focus on simple node installation.

Simple as a shell script. It allow you to deploy easily k8s for tests or learn purposes.

With Simplekube, you can install Kubernetes on Linux servers without have to plug with any cloud provider.

Just take a Linux empty box, clone the git repo, launch the script and have fun with k8s ! It come with few things like Kube-DNS, Calico, Helm, Firewall and IPv6 !

If you need, you can easily add new workers (from multi-clouds) !

How-to use it ?

1- Tweak the head of install_k8s.sh

# please change this value : hostIP="__PUBLIC_OR_PRIVATE_IPV4__" # ----------------------- k8sVersion="v1.8.1" etcdVersion="v3.2.9" dockerVersion="17.05.0-ce" cniVersion="v0.6.0" calicoCNIVersion="v1.11.0" calicoctlVersion="v1.6.1" cfsslVersion="v1.2.0" helmVersion="v2.6.2"

2- Launch the script as user (with sudo power)

./install_k8s.sh --master

3- You can now play with k8s (…)

4- Cluster’s integrated components :

KubeDNS

HELM ready

KubeDashboard

RBAC only by default

Calico CNI plugin

Calico Policy controller

Calicoctl tool

UFW to secure access (can be disabled)

ECDSA cluster certs w/ CFSSL

IPv4/IPv6

5- Expose services :

You can expose easily your services with :

Only reachable on the machine : ClusterIP

Expose on high TCP ports : NodePort

Expose publicly : Service’s ExternalIPs

6- Add new nodes :

You can easily add new nodes to your cluster by launching ./install_new_worker.sh

Before launch the script, be sure to tweak the head of the script :

nodeIP="__PUBLIC_OR_PRIVATE_IPV4__" sshUser="root" setupFirewall="True" CAcountry="US"

Requirements

This script download each k8s components with wget and launch k8s with systemd units .

You will need socat , conntrack , sudo and git on your servers.

To add a node, you will need to setup key-based SSH authentification between master & workers.

If you want IPv6 on pods side, you need working IPv6 on hosts.

Simplekube is tested on Debian 8/9 and Ubuntu 16.x/17.x .
