阿里云安装测试MiniKube

Posted on by

minikube 不适用于生产环境，只适合玩玩，研究太多没有多大意义，建议转向 MicroK8s

set kubectl connect to remote minikube from local

1. before install minikube, you need install docker first.
Install Docker Engine on Ubuntu

2. create a new user, because minikube can not start from root user.

# create a user called docker, add to group docker
useradd docker docker

modify docker as sudo user

usermod -aG sudo docker

3. now you can start your minikube

minikube start

check your cluster info

docker@minikube:~/.kube$  kubectl cluster-info
Kubernetes control plane is running at https://192.168.49.2:8443

4. now let generate SSH key for user docker

ssh-keygen

now, you have your key-pairs in you home dir

docker@minikube:~$ ls -lah .ssh/
-rw------- 1 docker docker 2.6K Jun 19 15:18 id_rsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 docker docker  569 Jun 19 15:18 id_rsa.pub

very inportant: chmod 0700 ~ && chmod 600 ~/.ssh & chmod 600 *, otherwise, you will get surprise.

cat ./.ssh/id_rsa to get your private key.

5. ssh-keygen in local to generate .ssh folder

get in to the folder,

  • create a pem file minikube_docker.pem, peste the content of .ssh/id_rsa from remote server.
  • give 600 permission to this file: chmod 600 minikube_docker.pem
  • you can create config file if you do not have it, and append the content below: 
    Host aliyun_minikube
HostName YOUR_REMOTE_HOSTING_IP
User docker
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/minikube_docker.pem

    now, try connect to your remote server:

    ~/.ssh$ ssh aliyun_minikube
Welcome to Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-74-generic x86_64)

    and actually, you can manage your minikube cluster now.

    docker@minikube:~$ kubectl cluster-info
Kubernetes control plane is running at https://192.168.49.2:8443docker@minikube:~$ kubectl cluster-info

6. but we can do something more, instead login to remote server, we can manage minikube from local direclty.

now we known minikube running on ip:192.168.49.2 port: 8443
本地minikube命令访问远程minikube集群

ssh -L 18443:192.168.49.2:8443 -N -f aliyun_minikube

install kubectl to your local.

go to remote server, get kubectl config, save it to local in the same palce, ~/.kube/config

docker@minikube:~$ cat ~/.kube/config
apiVersion: v1
clusters:
- cluster:
    certificate-authority: /home/docker/.minikube/ca.crt

notice: certificate-authority, certificate-authority, certificate-authority
get the content, save to local.

now, you can connect to you minikube in remote server from local.

~$ kubectl get node
