Fork of the k3s-ansible project that includes work done part of the openSUSE hackweek 21

It never got merged upstream because the project seems no longer actively maintained.

It includes the work done in these 2 branches:

• multiserver-HA-etcd
• SUSE_systems_prereqs

HA multiserver deployments with etcd are now supported by specifying the hosts under [multiserver] in the hosts.ini and the arguments can be passed in the dedicated variable extra_multiserver_args independently from the master node. Example of a multiserver HA etcd installation is:

[master]

192.168.122.156

[multiserver]

192.168.122.174

192.168.122.120

and

extra_server_args: "--cluster-init"

In inventory/sample/group_vars/all.yml

The prerequisites for *SUSE systems has been added, now the installation of k3s is supported without disabling firewalld which makes it more suitable for production environment. Thanks to the k3s-on-prem https://github.com/digitalis-io/k3s-on-prem-production/tree/main/roles/k3s-dependencies for the inspiration some pieces of code have been reused here.

Firewalld config and rules are removed when reset.yml is run. The config will be fully rolled back to its original state.

Original Main README of the project

Build a Kubernetes cluster using k3s via Ansible

Author: https://github.com/itwars

K3s Ansible Playbook

Build a Kubernetes cluster using Ansible with k3s. The goal is easily install a Kubernetes cluster on machines running:

• Debian
• Ubuntu
• CentOS

on processor architecture:

• x64
• arm64
• armhf

System requirements

Deployment environment must have Ansible 2.4.0+ Master and nodes must have passwordless SSH access

Usage

First create a new directory based on the sample directory within the inventory directory:

cp -R inventory/sample inventory/my-cluster

Second, edit inventory/my-cluster/hosts.ini to match the system information gathered above. For example:

[master]
192.16.35.12

[node]
192.16.35.[10:11]

[k3s_cluster:children]
master
node

If needed, you can also edit inventory/my-cluster/group_vars/all.yml to match your environment.

Start provisioning of the cluster using the following command:

ansible-playbook site.yml -i inventory/my-cluster/hosts.ini

Kubeconfig

To get access to your Kubernetes cluster just

scp debian@master_ip:~/.kube/config ~/.kube/config
