Thanks for the contributions :)

v1.3.0 - import images from docker into k3d

Changes

• [BUGFIX/ENHANCEMENT] ignore docker-machine errors and add more verbose logs (@andyz-dev)
• [BUGFIX] fix timeout for k3d create (@darobs)
• [FEATURE] new command k3d import-images to import images from the used docker daemon into containerd within k3d

Features explained

Use the import-images command:

1. Create a cluster with the latest version of k3s (must be at least k3s:v0.7.0-rc2, because of ctr): k3d create -n test0 -w 2 --image rancher/k3s:v0.7.0-rc2
2. Import two images: k3d import-images -n test0 nginx:local redis:local (comma instead of whitespace works as well for separating the list of images)

Thank you for all comments and contributions :)

Feedback is always welcome :)

v1.3.0-dev.0 - test import-images feature

This release is meant for testing the k3d import-images feature introduced by PR #83 .
It only works with rancher/k3s tag of v0.7.0-rc2 or later due to a hard requirement on ctr inside the k3s containers.

Test it with the attached binaries e.g. like this:

k3d import-images -n test0 nginx:local redis:local
or
k3d import-images -n test0 nginx:local,redis:local

Note: you need to create a cluster with the k3s image that includes ctr. E.g.

k3d create -a 6550 -n test0 -w 2 --image rancher/k3s:v0.7.0-rc2

Feedback welcome on PR #83 or issue #19

v1.2.2

Code

• [ENHANCEMENT] k3d create --workers X now has a short-hand notation of -w (#76)
  • NOTE: -w moved from --wait to --workers
• [ENHANCEMENT] k3d create --api-port now accepts arguments of format [host:]port to allow connecting to different interfaces (#75)
• [ENHANCEMENT] Identify k3d docker networks using a prefix (#72)
• [FEATURE] Support for docker machine (#71)
• [ENHANCEMENT] Also pass environment variables to the worker nodes (#69)
• [FEATURE] New k3d shell to spawn a sub-shell with KUBECONFIG set to the selected cluster (#66, #70)
  • --name / -n to select the cluster
  • --command / -c to execute a command and return
  • --shell / -s to select the shell that you want to use (one of auto, bash, zsh)
• [ENHANCEMENT] Improved error handling for k3d create (#64)
• [DEPRECATION] we deprecated the --timeout flag for k3d create and merged the functionality into the --wait flag. (#59)
  • new usage: k3d create --wait <seconds>, where --wait 0 means wait indefinitely
• [ENHANCEMENT] Each possible failure during the cluster creation process will result in a full rollback (#60)
• [FEATURE] new flag --auto-restart for the k3d create command, instructing docker to restart the cluster in case of non-manually induced stops (= unless-stopped) (#61)

Non-Code

• [DOCS] we refactored the README and separated sections for documentation in the docs/ directory
• [PROJECT] we introduced issue templates for bug reports and feature requests to enable us to act faster on them without having to request more information first

As usual, feedback is very welcome :)

v1.2.1

• [ENHANCEMENT] Always show all clusters in k3d ls/k3d list (--all flag will be deprecated in v2.0.0)

v1.2.0

What changed?

• [FEATURE]: New Flags for k3d create:
  • --publish/--add-port [ip:][host-port:]container-port[/protocol][@node-specifier]
    • only container-port is mandatory
    • the node-specifier is set to server by default
      • it can be either a descriptor from server/master, workers and all or a full name of a node (e.g. k3d-k3s-default-worker-1)
      • if you choose to map the same container-port from more than one container to the host, you can make use of the --port-auto-offset X flag which will automatically choose the host-port based on the provided offset
• [CHANGE]: --api-port/-a is now the default to set the K8s ApiPort mapping, since we want to re-use --port/-p for the functionality of --publish/--add-port
  • --port/-p will have the new functionality as of v2.0.0
• [ENHANCEMENT] no empty list and more meaningful cluster status table
• [CHANGE] --volume/-v is now a string-slice, so it has to be provided for each extra volume-mount
• [BUGFIXES] no cluster name conflicts or accidental deletions of clusters
• [ENHANCEMENT] clean up docker volumes upon cluster deletion
• [ENHANCEMENT] Makefile fixed and now usable on more platforms (had problems on Mac)
• several more refactorings, bugfixes, enhancements

Thanks

• to @andyz-dev for becoming our new very active collaborator!
• to @andyz-dev and @zeerorg for several bugfixes and enhancements
• to @goffinf and @mash-graz for the very beneficial discussions on the port mapping issue
• to everyone who actively contributed to the project via PRs and opening new issues, filing bugreports, etc.

Thanks for the nice and helpful feedback!

There are many more fixes and enhancements and features coming, so stay tuned :)

v1.2.0-beta.2

Enhancements for release v1.2.0-beta.1.

• better error handling
• bugfixes

v1.2.0-beta.1

Beta-Release for PR #43

Changes:

• --publish/--add-port syntax is now [ip:][host-port:]container-port[/protocol]@node-specifier, where container-port and node-specifier are mandatory and node-specifier can be one or multiple
  • node-specifier can be either one of all, server, worker or the name of a node that will be created (easier naming will follow, since e.g. k3d-some-test-name-worker-0 is not convenient to use)
  • since the node-specifier is mandatory, we won't automatically map ports to multiple nodes
• --api-port/-a is now the default to set the K8s ApiPort mapping, since we want to re-use --port/-p for the functionality of --publish/--add-port
• You can toggle/set a automatic port offset for mapping the same container-port from multiple worker nodes to predictable host-ports using the new --port-auto-offset X flag with X > 0.
  • if a multi-node portmapping is specified (e.g. --publish 1234:4321@workers) without the auto offset flag set, the docker API will return an error due to colliding ports
