Install on a Linux VM (K3s)

This guide shows how to take a Linux VM from any provider and install K3s. Once Kubernetes is ready, continue with Installation Prerequisite to deploy Bionic.

1. Install K3s

sudo curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | INSTALL_K3S_EXEC='server --disable=traefik --write-kubeconfig-mode="644"' sh -
mkdir -p ~/.kube
cp /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml ~/.kube/config && sed -i "s,127.0.0.1,$(hostname -I | awk '{print $1}'),g" ~/.kube/config

2. Install K9s (Optional)

curl -L -s https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases/download/v0.24.15/k9s_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz | tar xvz -C /tmp
sudo mv /tmp/k9s /usr/local/bin
rm -rf k9s_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz

3. Check your K3s install

kubectl get pods
# No resources found in default namespace.

Next step

Continue with Installation Prerequisite to deploy Bionic.

Uninstall K3s

First we can remove K3s entirely. K3s comes with its own uninstall script.

k3s-uninstall.sh

Then remove k9s if you installed it.

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/k9s
