Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. If you're running Elementary OS Latest and want to install Kubernetes, here's how you can do it.
Before you get started with the Kubernetes installation process, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to install the Kubernetes command-line interface (CLI). To do this, open the Terminal and run the following commands:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https curl
$ curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
$ echo "deb https://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y kubectl
This will install the Kubernetes CLI on your system.
The next step is to install Kubernetes on Docker. To do this, run the following command in the Terminal:
$ curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/kops/master/setClusterConfigs.sh | bash
This will download and install the necessary components for Kubernetes on Docker.
To confirm that Kubernetes has been installed correctly, run the following command in the Terminal:
$ kubectl version
If everything has been installed correctly, you should see the Kubernetes version information displayed in the Terminal.
That's it! You've successfully installed Kubernetes on Elementary OS Latest. With Kubernetes up and running, you can now manage your containerized applications with ease.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
