K3s on Multipass is pretty nice, but we have to add storage to make it useful. Let’s add StorageOS to provide a Persistant Volume system.
We can follow this guide (https://docs.storageos.com/docs/platforms/kubernetes/install/1.15)
$ kubectl create -f https://github.com/storageos/cluster-operator/releases/download/1.4.0/storageos-operator.yaml
$ kubectl create -f https://github.com/storageos/cluster-operator/releases/download/1.4.0/storageos-operator.yaml
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/storageosclusters.storageos.com created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/storageosupgrades.storageos.com created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/jobs.storageos.com created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/nfsservers.storageos.com created
namespace/storageos-operator created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/storageos-operator created
serviceaccount/storageoscluster-operator-sa created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/storageoscluster-operator-rolebinding created
deployment.apps/storageos-cluster-operator created
$ kubectl -n storageos-operator get pod
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
storageos-cluster-operator-57fc9c468f-f69xf 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 9s
Next we need to create and expose a secret for storage OS to use.
$ echo mySecret | base64
bXlTZWNyZXQK
$ vi myStorageSecret.yaml
$ cat myStorageSecret.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: "storageos-api"
namespace: "storageos-operator"
labels:
app: "storageos"
type: "kubernetes.io/storageos"
data:
apiUsername: bXlTZWNyZXQK
apiPassword: bXlTZWNyZXQK
$ kubectl create -f myStorageSecret.yaml
secret/storageos-api created
Now, let's create a 512mb cluster:
$ kubectl apply -f myClusterDefn.yaml
storageoscluster.storageos.com/example-storageos created
$ cat myClusterDefn.yaml
apiVersion: "storageos.com/v1"
kind: StorageOSCluster
metadata:
name: "example-storageos"
namespace: "storageos-operator"
spec:
secretRefName: "storageos-api" # Reference the Secret created in the previous step
secretRefNamespace: "storageos-operator" # Namespace of the Secret
k8sDistro: "kubernetes"
images:
nodeContainer: "storageos/node:1.4.0" # StorageOS version
resources:
requests:
memory: "512Mi"
The "memory" setting at the bottom sets the size.
Once we've applied the definition we can check that the pods came up. They will be responsible for distributing the storage across the nodes.
$ kubectl -n storageos get pods -w
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE

storageos-daemonset-qhhkx 0/1 Init:0/1 0 41s
storageos-scheduler-67d54d4f45-cl4kv 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 41s
One problem we have is our cluster just doesn't have a node that can satisfy these requirements …

In fact, im certain our little 3 node cluster from the first guide is having a hard time keeping up…

Using K3s with larger Nodes
Let’s launch a few larger xenial instances.
$ multipass launch -c 2 -d 15G -m 2G -n k3s01 xenial
Retrieving image: 9%
After the first one, the rest launch fast (after an image is cached):
$ multipass launch -c 2 -d 15G -m 2G -n k3s01 xenial
Launched: k3s01
$ multipass launch -c 2 -d 15G -m 2G -n k3s02 xenial
Launched: k3s02
$ multipass launch -c 2 -d 15G -m 2G -n k3s03 xenial
Launched: k3s03
Let’s now hop into the first node and launch k3s under root:
$ multipass shell k3s01

Set server in config : 192.168.64.19
Now let’s check our storage class then make it default:
$ kubectl get sc
NAME PROVISIONER AGE
fast kubernetes.io/storageos 6h8m
$ kubectl patch storageclass fast -p '{"metadata": {"annotations":{"storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class":"true"}}}'
storageclass.storage.k8s.io/fast patched
$ kubectl get sc
NAME PROVISIONER AGE
fast (default) kubernetes.io/storageos 6h12m
Setting it as default is an important step. If you don't, you'll have to be explicit in any deploys, be them yaml or helm based.
Installing Helm/Tiller
$ cat /Users/johnsi10/Documents/rbac-config.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: tiller
namespace: kube-system
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
name: tiller
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: ClusterRole
name: cluster-admin
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: tiller
namespace: kube-system
$ kubectl create -f /Users/johnsi10/Documents/rbac-config.yaml
serviceaccount/tiller created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/tiller created
$ helm init --service-account tiller --history-max 200
$HELM_HOME has been configured at /Users/johnsi10/.helm.
Tiller (the Helm server-side component) has been installed into your Kubernetes Cluster.
Please note: by default, Tiller is deployed with an insecure 'allow unauthenticated users' policy.
To prevent this, run `helm init` with the --tiller-tls-verify flag.
For more information on securing your installation see: https://docs.helm.sh/using_helm/#securing-your-helm-installation
Now that we have Tiller and a default storage class...
Adding a dashboard:
$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v1.10.1/src/deploy/recommended/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml
secret/kubernetes-dashboard-certs created
serviceaccount/kubernetes-dashboard created
role.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/kubernetes-dashboard-minimal created
rolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/kubernetes-dashboard-minimal created
deployment.apps/kubernetes-dashboard created
service/kubernetes-dashboard created
And we need a dashboard admin user to use it:
$ cat dashboard-user.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: admin-user
namespace: kube-system
$ kubectl apply -f dashboard-user.yaml
serviceaccount/admin-user created
$ cat dashboard-binding.yaml
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
name: admin-user
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: ClusterRole
name: cluster-admin
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: admin-user
namespace: kube-system
$ kubectl apply -f dashboard-binding.yaml
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/admin-user created
Next we’ll need the token for the dashboard
$ kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $(kubectl -n kube-system get secret | grep admin-user | awk '{print $1}')
Name: admin-user-token-xrlcg
Namespace: kube-system
Labels: <none>
Annotations: kubernetes.io/service-account.name: admin-user
kubernetes.io/service-account.uid: e8da6cd7-bd58-4b8d-9cd4-98fabbd0e15b

and use port-forward for the dashboard
$ kubectl port-forward kubernetes-dashboard-7d75c474bb-rb2tr -n kube-system 8443:8443
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8443 -> 8443
Forwarding from [::1]:8443 -> 8443
Handling connection for 8443
And we can see our storageos there as well
Networking.
The part that I'm working on next (and had been holding this blog entry on, but can't delay further), is loadbalancing and networking.
I tried just installing MetalLB (https://metallb.universe.tf/installation/)
$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/metallb/v0.8.1/manifests/metallb.yaml
namespace/metallb-system created
podsecuritypolicy.policy/speaker created
serviceaccount/controller created
serviceaccount/speaker created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/metallb-system:controller created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/metallb-system:speaker created
role.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/config-watcher created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/metallb-system:controller created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/metallb-system:speaker created
rolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/config-watcher created
daemonset.apps/speaker created
deployment.apps/controller created
$ kubectl apply -f layer2-config.yaml
configmap/config created
$ cat layer2-config.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
namespace: metallb-system
name: config
data:
config: |
address-pools:
- name: default
protocol: layer2
addresses:
- 10.42.5.240-10.42.5.250
And we could see that indeed LB requests were satisified by MetalLB
However, they were completely unroutable. So yes, Metal LB handed out IPs, but they were as useful as a poopy flavoured lolly pop. I've found a guide with Vagrant and Flannel and Metal LB that launches a cluster in VBox. I'm working on figuring out this networking area and would welcome insights (isaac.johnson@gmail.com).
Summary:
After a bit of trial and error, we used Multipass and Bionic (18.04) images to make a great k3s cluster with valid persistent storage. However, we stopped short of solving our networking and routing.
