Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Kubernetes on Linux Mint Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, you will need the following:
Docker is required to run Kubernetes. You can install it by running the following command:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install docker.io
To start and enable Docker, execute the following commands:
$ sudo systemctl start docker
$ sudo systemctl enable docker
To install Kubernetes, you need to add the Kubernetes repository to your system. Use 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
Once you have added the Kubernetes repository to your system, update the repository and install kubeadm, kubelet, and kubectl packages.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y kubelet kubeadm kubectl
To configure Kubernetes, run the following command:
$ sudo kubeadm init
This command will initialize the control plane and create a kubeconfig file. The kubeconfig file is the configuration file for kubectl, which is used to communicate with the Kubernetes API server.
To join the Kubernetes cluster as a worker node, run the following command:
$ sudo kubeadm join <control-plane-host>:<control-plane-port> --token <token> --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash <hash>
Replace the <control-plane-host>, <control-plane-port>, <token>, and <hash> with the values provided by the kubeadm init command.
To verify the installation, run the following command:
$ kubectl get nodes
This command will display the list of nodes in the cluster.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kubernetes on Linux Mint Latest. You can now explore Kubernetes and create your first deployment.
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!
