Feedback welcome!
- new syntax for nodefilters
- dropped the usage of square brackets
[]
for indexing, as it caused problems with some shells trying to interpret them - new syntax:
@identifier[:index][:opt]
(see k3d-io#652)- example for a port-mapping:
--port 8080:80@server:0:proxy
- identifier =
server
, index =0
, opt =proxy
opt
is an extra optional argument used for different purposes depending on the flag- currently, only the
--port
flag hasopt
s, namelyproxy
anddirect
(see other breaking change)
- currently, only the
- identifier =
- example for a port-mapping:
- dropped the usage of square brackets
- port-mapping now go via the loadbalancer (serverlb) by default
- the
--port
flag has theproxy
opt (see new nodefilter syntax above) set by default - to leverage the old behavior of direct port-mappings, use the
direct
opt on the port flag - the nodefilter
loadbalancer
will now do the same asservers:*;agents:*
(proxied via the loadbalancer)
- the
- flag
--registries-create
transformed from bool flag to string flag: let's you define the name and port-binding of the newly created registry, e.g.--registry-create myregistry.localhost:5001
- cleaned up and properly sorted the sanitization of existing resources used to create new nodes (#638)
- new command:
k3d node edit
to edit existing nodes (#615)- currently only allows
k3d node edit NODE --port-add HOSTPORT:CONTAINERPORT
for the serverlb/loadbalancer to add new ports - pkg: new
NodeEdit
function
- currently only allows
- new (hidden) command:
k3d debug
with some options for debugging k3d resources (#638)- e.g.
k3d debug loadbalancer get-config
to get the current loadbalancer configuration
- e.g.
- loadbalancer / k3d-proxy (#638)
- updated fork of
confd
to make usage of the file backend including a file watcher for auto-reloads- this also checks the config before applying it, so the lb doesn't crash on a faulty config
- updating the loadbalancer writes the new config file and also checks if everything's going fine afterwards
- some settings of the loadbalancer can now be configured using
--lb-config-override
, see docs at https://k3d.io/v5.0.0/design/defaults/#k3d-loadbalancer
- updated fork of
- helper images can now be set explicitly via environment variables:
K3D_IMAGE_LOADBALANCER
&K3D_IMAGE_TOOLS
(#638) - concurrently add new nodes to an existing cluster (remove some dumb code) (#640)
--wait
is now the default fork3d node create
- normalized flag usage for k3s and runtime (#598, @ejose19)
- rename
k3d cluster create --label
tok3d cluster create --runtime-label
(as it's labelling the node on runtime level, e.g. docker)- config option moved to
options.runtime.labels
- config option moved to
- add
k3d cluster create --k3s-node-label
to add Kubernetes node labels via k3s flag (#584, @developer-guy, @ejose, @dentrax)- new config option
options.k3s.nodeLabels
- new config option
- the same for
k3d node create
- rename
- improved config file handling (#605)
- new version
v1alpha3
- warning when using outdated version
- validation dynamically based on provided config apiVersion
- new default for
k3d config init
- new command
k3d config migrate INPUT [OUTPUT]
to migrate config files between versions- currently supported migration
v1alpha2
->v1alpha3
- currently supported migration
- pkg: new
Config
interface type to support new genericFromViper
config file parsing
- new version
- changed flags
--k3s-server-arg
&--k3s-agent-arg
into--k3s-arg
with nodefilter support (#605)- new config path
options.k3s.extraArgs
- new config path
- config file: environment variables (
$VAR
,${VAR}
will be expanded unconditionally) (#643) - docker context support (#601, @developer-guy & #674)
- Feature flag using the environment variable
K3D_FIX_DNS
and setting it to a true value (e.g.export K3D_FIX_DNS=1
) to forward DNS queries to your local machine, e.g. to use your local company DNS
- tests/e2e: timeouts everywhere to avoid killing DroneCI (#638)
- logs: really final output when creating/deleting nodes (so far, we were not outputting a final success message and the process was still doing stuff) (#640)
- tests/e2e: add tests for v1alpha2 to v1alpha3 migration
- docs: use v1alpha3 config version
- docs: update general appearance and cleanup
- Improved DroneCI Pipeline for Multiarch Images and SemVer Tags (#712)
- Important: New images will not have the
v
prefix in the tag anymore!- but now real releases will use the "hierarchical" SemVer tags, so you could e.g. subscribe to rancher/k3d-proxy:4 to get v4.x.x images for the proxy container
- Important: New images will not have the
- clusterCreate: do not override hostIP if hostPort is missing (#693, @lukaszo)
- imageImport: import all listed images, not only the first one (#701, @mszostok)
- clusterCreate: when memory constraints are set, only pull the image used for checking the edac folder, if it's not present on the machine
- fix: update k3d-tools dependencies and use API Version Negotiation, so it still works with older versions of the Docker Engine (#679)
- install script: add darwin/arm64 support (#676, @colelawrence)
- docs: fix go install command (#677, @Rots)
- docs: add project overview (https://k3d.io/internals/project/) (#680)
- new flag:
k3d image import --keep-tools
to not delete the tools node container after importing the image(s) (#672) - improve image name handling when importing images (#653, @cimnine)
- normalize image names internally, e.g. strip prefixes that docker adds, but that break the process
- see https://k3d.io/usage/commands/k3d_image_import/ for more info
- Use default gateway, when bridge network doesn't have it (#666, @kuritka)
- Start an existing, but not running tools node to re-use it when importing an image (#672)
- deps: switching back to upstream viper including the StringArray fix
- docs: reference to "nolar/setup-k3d-k3s" step for GitHub Actions (#668, @nolar)
- docs: updated and simplified CUDA guide (#662, @vainkop) (#669)
- fix an issue where the cluster creation would stall waiting for the
starting worker processes
log message from the loadbalancer/serverlb- this was likely caused by a rounding issue when asking docker to get the container logs starting at a specific timestamp
- we now drop subsecond precision for this to avoid the rounding issue, which was confirmed to work
- see issues #592 & #621
- to debug the issue mentioned above, we introduced a new environment variable
K3D_LOG_NODE_WAIT_LOGS
, which can be set to a list of node roles (e.g.K3D_LOG_NODE_WAIT_LOGS=loadbalancer,agent
) to output the container logs that k3d inspects
- overall: use the getDockerClient helper function everywhere to e.g. support docker via ssh everywhere
- nodeCreate: do not copy meminfo/edac volume mounts from existing nodes, to avoid conflicts with generated mounts
- kubeconfig: fix file handling on windows (#626 + #628, @dragonflylee)
- docs: add FAQ entry on nf_conntrack_max: permission denied issue from kube-proxy (#607)
- docs: cleanup, fix formatting, etc.
- license: update to include 2021 in time range
- docs: link to AutoK3s (#614, @JacieChao)
- tests/e2e: update the list of tested k3s versions
- nodes created via
k3d node create
now inherit the registry config from existing nodes (if there is any) (#597) - the cgroupv2 hotfix (custom entrypoint script) is now enabled by default (#603)
- disable by setting the environment variable
K3D_FIX_CGROUPV2=false
- disable by setting the environment variable
- fix using networks without IPAM config (e.g.
host
)
- docs: edit links on k3d.io now point to the correct branch (
main
) - docs: new FAQ entry on spurious PID entries when using shared mounts (#609, @leelavg)
- cgroupv2 support: to properly work on cgroupv2 systems, k3s has to move all the processes from the root cgroup to a new /init cgroup and enable subtree_control
- this is going to be included in the k3s agent code directly (k3s-io/k3s#3242)
- for now we're overriding the container entrypoint with a script that does this (#579, compare k3s-io/k3s#3237)
- thanks a lot for all the input and support @AkihiroSuda
- Usage: set the environment variable
K3D_FIX_CGROUPV2
to atrue
value before/when creating a cluster with k3d- e.g.
export K3D_FIX_CGROUPV2=1
- e.g.
- fix: docker volume not mountable due to validation failure
- was not able to mount named volume on windows as we're checking for

as install target for tools (as per #445) - JSONSchema: add some examples and defaults (now also available via https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/k3d/main/pkg/config/v1alpha2/schema.json in your IDE)
- use viper fork that contains a fix to make cobra's
StringArray
flags work properly- this fixes the issue, that flag values containing commas got split (because we had to use
StringSlice
type flags) - this is to be changed back to upstream viper as soon as spf13/viper#398 (or a similar fix) got merged
- this fixes the issue, that flag values containing commas got split (because we had to use

ignored - fix: print error cause when serverlb fails to start
- tests/e2e: add config override test
- tests/e2e: add multi server start-stop cycle test
- tests/e2e: improved logs with stage and test details.
- builds&tests: use Docker 20.10 and BuildKit everywhere
- π docs: add https://github.com/AbsaOSS/k3d-action (GitHub Action) as a related project (#476, @kuritka)
- E2E Tests ran with k3s versions
- v1.17.17-k3s1 (see Known Issues below)
- v1.18.15-k3s1 (see Known Issues below)
- v1.19.7-k3s1
- v1.20.2-k3s1
- automatic multi-server cluster restarts tend to fail with k3s versions v1.17.x & v1.18.x and probably earlier versions (using dqlite)
- Using Viper brings us lots of nice features, but also one problem:
- We had to switch StringArray flags to StringSlice flags, which
- allow to use multiple flag values comma-separated in a single flag, but also
- split flag values that contain a comma into separate parts (and we cannot handle issues that arise due to this)
- so if you rely on commas in your flag values (e.g. for
--env X=a,b,c
), please consider filing an issue or supporting spf13/viper#246 and spf13/viper#398 --env X=a,b,c
would be treated the same as--env X=a
,--env b
,--env c
- so if you rely on commas in your flag values (e.g. for

If you're using k3d as a Go module, please have a look into the code to see all the changes!

We're open for chats via Slack or GitHub discussions
-
Module is now on
github.com/rancher/k3d/v4
due to lots of breaking changes -
pkg/cluster
is nowpkg/client
-
ClusterCreate
andNodeCreate
don't start the entities (containers) anymoreClusterRun
andNodeRun
orchestrate the new Create and Start functionality
-
NodeDelete
/ClusterDelete
now take an additionalNodeDeleteOpts
/ClusterDeleteOpts
struct to toggle specific steps -
NodeSpec now features a list of networks (required for registries)
-
New config flow: CLIConfig (SimpleConfig) -> ClusterConfig -> Cluster + Opts
- Some flags changed to also use
noun-action
syntax- e.g.
--switch-context --update-default-kubeconfig
->--kubeconfig-switch-context --kubeconfig-update-default
- this eases grouping and visibility
- e.g.
-
Registry Support
- k3d-managed registry like we had it in k3d v1.x
- Option 1: default settings, paired with cluster creation
k3d cluster create --registry-create
-> New registry for that clusterk3d cluster create --registry-use
-> Re-use existing registry
- Option 2: customized, managed stand-alone
k3d registry [create/start/stop/delete]
- Check the documentation, help text and tutorials for more details
- Communicate managed registry using the LocalRegistryHostingV1 spec from KEP-1755
- interesting especially for tools that reload images, like Tilt or Skaffold
-
Config File Support
-
Put all your CLI-Arguments/Flags into a more readable config file and re-use it everywhere (keep it in your repo)
- Note: this is not always a 1:1 matching in naming/syntax/semantics
-
k3d cluster create --config myconfig.yaml
apiVersion: k3d.io/v1alpha1 kind: Simple name: mycluster servers: 3 agents: 2 ports: - port: 8080:80 nodeFilters: - loadbalancer
-
Check out our test cases in pkg/config/test_assets/ for more config file examples
-
Note: The config file format (& feature) might still be a little rough around the edges and it's prone to change quickly until we hit a stable release of the config

-
[WIP] Support for Lifecycle Hooks
- Run any executable at specific stages during the cluster and node lifecycles
- e.g. we modify the
registries.yaml
in thepreStart
stage of nodes - Guides will follow
- e.g. we modify the

Print container creation time (#431, @inercia)
-
add output formats for
cluster ls
andnode ls
(#439, @inercia)
- import image: avoid nil pointer exception in specific cases
- cluster delete: properly handle node and network (#437)
- --port: fix bnil-pointer exception when exposing port on non-existent loadbalancer
- completion/zsh: source completion file
- Now building with Go 1.15
- same for the k3d-tools code
- updated dependencies (including Docker v20.10)
