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

The following extras are installed from the base k3s-ansible repository:

• managed-nfs-storage
• scp-config

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

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

cp example.hosts.yaml hosts.yaml

Second, edit hosts.yaml to match the system information gathered above.

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

Select which k3s channel to use.

Start provisioning of the cluster using the following command:

$ make deploy
# or
$ ansible-playbook site.yml -i hosts.yaml

$ make reset
# or
$ ansible-playbook reset.yml -i hosts.yaml

To get access to your Kubernetes cluster just

$ scp pirate@master_ip:~/.kube/config ~/.kube/config

If you want to automatically lint the files with a pre-commit hook, make sure you install the pre-commit binary, and add a .pre-commit-config.yaml file to your project. Then run:

$ pre-commit install
$ pre-commit install-hooks

• system-upgrade
