In this tutorial, we will guide you through step-by-step instructions to install Kubernetes on NetBSD. Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
Before we begin with the installation process, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
Before we can install Kubernetes, we need to install some dependencies that are required for running Kubernetes on NetBSD. To install the dependencies, open a terminal and run the following command:
$ su
$ pkgin -y update
$ pkgin -y install git go py38-pip make
$ export GOPATH=$HOME/go
Now we will clone the Kubernetes repository from GitHub using the Git command. Run the following command in the terminal:
$ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes.git
After cloning the repository, navigate to the directory where the repository is cloned by running the following command:
$ cd kubernetes
Next, we will build Kubernetes by running the make command:
$ make all WHAT=cmd/kubelet GOFLAGS=-tags=netbsd
After the build is complete, you can install Kubernetes by running the following commands:
$ cp _output/bin/kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
$ cp _output/bin/kubelet /usr/local/bin/kubelet
Now that we have installed the Kubernetes binaries, we can proceed to install the kubeadm and kubectl command-line tools that we can use to bootstrap and manage Kubernetes clusters.
Run the following command to install both kubeadm and kubectl:
$ pip3.8 install kubeadm kubectl
To initialize Kubernetes cluster, run the following command:
$ kubeadm init --pod-network-cidr=10.244.0.0/16
This command will initialize the Kubernetes master node and generate a configuration file that you can use to join other nodes to the cluster.
Finally, run the following command to join nodes to the Kubernetes cluster:
$ kubeadm join <MASTER_NODE_IP>:6443 --token <TOKEN> --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash <DISCOVERY_TOKEN_CA_CERT_HASH>
Replace <MASTER_NODE_IP>
with the IP address of the Kubernetes master node, <TOKEN>
with the token generated during initialization, and <DISCOVERY_TOKEN_CA_CERT_HASH>
with the CA certificate hash generated during initialization.
Congratulations! you have successfully installed Kubernetes on NetBSD. You can now start deploying your containerized applications on Kubernetes.
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!
