Kubernetes (for development)

Install k3d:

wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/k3d/master/install.sh | TAG=v1.3.4 bash

Install kubectl:

curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.16.3/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
mv kubectl ~/bin/
chmod +x ~/bin/kubectl

Create a cluster:

k3d create

Set the KUBECONFIG environment variable:

# bash
export KUBECONFIG=$(k3d get-kubeconfig)
# fish
set -x KUBECONFIG (k3d get-kubeconfig)

Helm

From Initialize Helm (Install Tiller) (and GitHub issue, tiller won’t install #489)

Download helm from https://github.com/helm/helm/releases/tag/v2.16.1

Note

These instructions work for helm version 2.x.x, but not 3.x.x.

For example:

  • Download helm-v2.16.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz.

  • Extract helm and move it to your ~/bin/ folder.

helm version
kubectl -n kube-system create serviceaccount tiller
kubectl create clusterrolebinding tiller --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kube-system:tiller
helm init --service-account tiller

# test
kubectl -n kube-system  rollout status deploy/tiller-deploy

Postgres

helm install --name kb-dev-db stable/postgresql --set service.nodePort=30432 --set service.type=NodePort --set postgresqlPassword=postgres

Connect using the service:

# bash
export NODE_IP=$(kubectl get nodes --namespace default -o jsonpath="{.items[0].status.addresses[0].address}")
export NODE_PORT=$(kubectl get --namespace default -o jsonpath="{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}" services kb-dev-db-postgresql)
PGPASSWORD="postgres" psql --host $NODE_IP --port $NODE_PORT -U postgres -d postgres

# fish
set -x NODE_IP (kubectl get nodes --namespace default -o jsonpath="{.items[0].status.addresses[0].address}")
set -x NODE_PORT (kubectl get --namespace default -o jsonpath="{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}" services kb-dev-db-postgresql)
export PGPASSWORD="postgres"; psql --host $NODE_IP --port $NODE_PORT -U postgres -d postgres

Flowable

Note

Install Postgres first…

Log into psql and create the flowable table:

CREATE DATABASE flowable TEMPLATE=template0 ENCODING='utf-8';

Then run misc/k3s/init_flowable.sh

redis

Install:

helm install stable/redis --name kb-redis --set master.service.nodePort=30379 --set master.service.type=NodePort --set usePassword=false --cluster.enabled=false

Note

cluster.enabled=false is not recognised (for some reason)… Just remove it for now…

Connect:

export NODE_IP=$(kubectl get nodes --namespace default -o jsonpath="{.items[0].status.addresses[0].address}")
export NODE_PORT=$(kubectl get --namespace default -o jsonpath="{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}" services kb-redis-master)
redis-cli -h $NODE_IP -p $NODE_PORT

Traefik

https://github.com/rancher/k3d/issues/103#issuecomment-528896912

sudo -i service tomcat8 stop
kubectl -n kube-system edit configmap traefik

Add the api section below metrics e.g:

[metrics]
  [metrics.prometheus]
    entryPoint = "traefik"
[api]
  entryPoint = "dash"
  dashboard = true

To find the ‘EXTERNAL-IP’:

kubectl get service --all-namespaces

Nothing is happening… I tried:

http GET http://172.20.0.2:8080/dash/

https://felixwiedmann.de/k3d-manage-k3s-clusters/

https://localhost:6443/ does ask for a user name and password!

I think this just worked:

From: https://github.com/rancher/k3d/blob/master/docs/examples.md

Apply this:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: flowable-rest
  annotations:
    ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "false"
spec:

 kubectl get ing

# this one is working!
http GET http://rest-admin:test@172.20.0.2/service/repository/deployments/

Elastic

https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/elasticsearch

helm install --name kb-elastic stable/elasticsearch
client.serviceType=
client.httpNodePort
Elasticsearch can be accessed:

* Within your cluster, at the following DNS name at port 9200:

kb-elastic-elasticsearch-client.default.svc

* From outside the cluster, run these commands in the same shell:

export NODE_PORT=$(kubectl get --namespace default -o jsonpath="{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}" services kb-elastic-elasticsearch-client)
export NODE_IP=$(kubectl get nodes --namespace default -o jsonpath="{.items[0].status.addresses[0].address}")
echo http://$NODE_IP:$NODE_PORT

To remove:

 helm delete kb-elastic
# list pvc and delete kubectl get pvc
➤ kubectl delete pvc data-kb-elastic-elasticsearch-data-0

Install

# you will need your sudo password here... curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh -s - --write-kubeconfig-mode 644 kubectl get nodes
NAME                    STATUS   ROLES    AGE    VERSION
patrick-inspiron        Ready    master   105s   v1.16.3-k3s.2

➤ kubectl get po -n kube-system
➤ kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
➤ kubectl version

Remove

/usr/local/bin/k3s-uninstall.sh

Commands

ConfigMap:

kubectl get configmaps -o yaml

Pod:

kubectl get pod
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
kubectl describe pod
# a specific pod (get the name from the 'get pod' command)
kubectl describe pod postgres-78b64dc858-d8ktt
# logs for a pod (get the name from the 'get pod' command)
kubectl logs postgres-78b64dc858-d8ktt -f
kubectl get ing
kubectl get endpoints

Test

To deploy a simple pod

From Intro to Kubernetes and Rancher Online Training: August 1, 2019

Download misc/k3s/pod.yaml

kubectl apply -f pod.yaml
# check progress
kubectl get pods -w

# check logs
kubectl describe pod

Note

CrashLoopBackOff is an expected response because the bash script in the pod is completing. Kubernetes doesn’t expect this, so the backoff is a delay before re-starting.

Delete the pod:

kubectl delete po/myapp-pod

Local Storage

kubectl apply -f ~/dev/module/docs/source/misc/k3s/flowable/rancher-local-path-storage.yaml
# check
kubectl get storageclass

Flowable

The GIT repository is here: https://github.com/flowable/flowable-engine/tree/master/k8s

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/static/mandatory.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/static/provider/cloud-generic.yaml

# try without local storage
# kubectl apply -f ~/dev/module/docs/source/misc/k3s/flowable/flowable-local-storageclass.yaml
helm repo add flowable https://flowable.org/helm/
# helm install flowable/flowable --name=flowable
helm install flowable/flowable --name=kb-flowable --set postgres.enabled=false --set rest.enabled=true --set database.username=postgres --set database.password=postgres --set database.datasourceDriverClassName=org.postgresql.Driver --set database.datasourceUrl=jdbc:postgresql://postgres-service-name:5432/flowable

WIP

This gets an Nginx response: http://flowable-idm-default.localhost.nip.io/ You can see the ingress using this command:

kubectl get ing

So try: http://kb-flowable.localhost.nip.io/flowable-rest/

Old Postgres Notes

Version 3 (helm)

helm install --name kb-dev-db stable/postgresql --set service.nodePort=30432 --set service.type=NodePort --set postgresqlPassword=postgres

Tip

If you change the password and need to re-install, then you will need to delete the persistent volume… For more information, search for kubectl get pvc and kubectl delete pvc data-some-lingering-pvc in https://github.com/helm/charts/issues/12836

Connect using the service:

# password 'postgres'
psql -h 127.0.0.1 -U postgres -d postgres -p 30432

Uninstall:

helm del --purge kb-dev-db
kubectl delete pvc data-kb-dev-db-postgresql-0

Version 2 (I am hoping this may be persistent)

From: https://severalnines.com/database-blog/using-kubernetes-deploy-postgresql

Using these yaml files:

kubectl create -f postgres-configmap.yaml
kubectl create -f postgres-storage.yaml
kubectl create -f postgres-deployment.yaml
kubectl create -f postgres-service.yaml

Find the IP address:

kubectl get service

Connect to Postgres using the port number::

psql -h localhost -U postgresadmin --password -p 31053 postgresdb

Version 1 (is not persistent)

kubectl apply -f ~/dev/module/docs/source/misc/k3s/postgres.yaml
# check progress
kubectl get pods -w

kubectl apply -f ~/dev/module/docs/source/misc/k3s/postgres-service.yaml
# check progress
kubectl get service
# output
NAME         TYPE        CLUSTER-IP     EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)          AGE
kubernetes   ClusterIP   10.43.0.1      <none>        443/TCP          55m
postgres     NodePort    10.43.51.112   <none>        5432:30432/TCP   15m

To connect Postgres to the port listed above:

psql -h localhost -U postgres -d postgres -p 30432

redis (with helm)

Install:

helm install stable/redis --name kb-redis --set master.service.nodePort=30379 --set master.service.type=NodePort --set usePassword=false --cluster.enabled=false

Connect:

redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 30379 ping

Uninstall:

helm del --purge kb-redis
