Installing kubernetes for a demo installation (on a single virtual machine)

How to set up your hosts.ini file

Assuming a single virtual machine with a public IP address running Ubuntu 18.04, with at least 5 CPU cores and at least 8 GB of memory.

Move to wire-server-deploy/ansible:

cd ansible/

Then:

cp inventory/demo/hosts.example.ini inventory/demo/hosts.ini

Open hosts.ini and replace X.X.X.X with the IP address of your virtual machine that you use for ssh access. You can try using:

sed -i 's/X.X.X.X/1.2.3.4/g' inventory/demo/hosts.ini

How to install kubernetes

From wire-server-deploy/ansible:

ansible-playbook -i inventory/demo/hosts.ini kubernetes.yml -vv

When the playbook finishes correctly (which can take up to 20 minutes), you should have a folder artifacts containing a file admin.conf. Copy this file:

mkdir -p ~/.kube
cp artifacts/admin.conf ~/.kube/config
KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config

Make sure you can reach the server:

kubectl version

should give output similar to this:
