A project to set up environments to practically learn kubernetes on a Raspberry Pi cluster. This tool aims to provide additional functionality to integrate with your cluster.
This package includes a command line tool, cluster, which is responsible for executing ansible scripts for configuration management and setting up the cluster. I have also included this tool in the hopes that other distributed computing environments will be integrated, not just Kubernetes.
First, flash your raspberry pi SD cards with Raspberry Pi OS (or similar) if you haven't already. Then, install the package using pip install pi-cluster. This will give you access to the command line tool cluster.
Once installed, you can begin the setup:
- Type
cluster init. This will create a JSON file where you should enter your Raspberry Pi IP hostnames and usernames. - Type
cluster apply. This will apply the config and check to make sure it can SSH into each node. - Type
cluster create kubernetes. This will manage installation and deploy some pods, including a private registry.
You can now interact with the cluster using kubectl. Happy learning!
pi-cluster also comes with functionality to make it easy to switch networks.
This involves creating namespaces for each user with RBAC.
