Prerequisites

Before you begin, please ensure that you have:

Installing Claper

  1. Open a terminal window on your Fedora CoreOS Latest instance.

  2. Run the following command to add Claper's repository:

  3. Install Claper by running the following command:

Configuring Claper

Once Claper has been installed, you need to configure it to use the proper Kubernetes versions for your cluster.

  1. Create a configuration file for Claper by running the following command:

    sudo touch /etc/claper/config.toml
    
  2. Open the configuration file in a text editor by running the following command:

    sudo nano /etc/claper/config.toml
    
  3. Add the following content to the file:

    [versions]
    v1.21.2 = "/usr/bin/kubernetes-1.21.2"
    v1.20.6 = "/usr/bin/kubernetes-1.20.6"
    

    Replace "/usr/bin/kubernetes-1.21.2" and "/usr/bin/kubernetes-1.20.6" with the actual paths to the Kubernetes binaries on your Fedora CoreOS Latest instance.

    You can add more versions to the list as needed.

  4. Save the configuration file and exit the editor.
