Introduction

The following guide shows how to setup an IPv6 only cluster at ungleich.

Steps

  • Boot Alpine
  • Configure with cdist to get cri-o configured

Control plane

Initialise with all components:

kubeadm init --config kubeadm-config.yaml

We need to specify the --config option to inject correct cgroupdriver!

We cannot yet skip kube-proxy, because calico does not support eBPF for IPv6. Cilium supports IPv6 eBPF, but on the other hand does not support automatic BGP peering. So the following does not work:

kubeadm init --skip-phases=addon/kube-proxy --service-cidr 2a0a:e5c0:13:aaa::/108 --pod-network-cidr 2a0a:e5c0:13:bbb::/64
kubeadm init --service-cidr 2a0a:e5c0:13:aaa::/108 --pod-network-cidr 2a0a:e5c0:13:bbb::/64

Worker nodes

kubeadm join [2a0a:e5c0:13:0:225:b3ff:fe20:38cc]:6443 --token bw3x98.chp31kcgcd4b5fpf --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:...

CNI/networking

kubectl apply -f calico.yaml

Getting calicoctl

kubectl apply -f https://docs.projectcalico.org/manifests/calicoctl.yaml

And alias it:

alias calicoctl="kubectl exec -i -n kube-system calicoctl -- /calicoctl"

Configuring BGP routing

calicoctl create -f - < bgp....yaml

Setup a test deployment

Do NOT use https://k8s.io/examples/application/deployment.yaml. It contains an outdated nginx container that has no IPv6 listener. You will get results such as

[19:03] server47.place7:~/ungleich-k8s/v3-calico#  curl http://[2a0a:e5c0:13:bbb:176b:eaa6:6d47:1c41]
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 2a0a:e5c0:13:bbb:176b:eaa6:6d47:1c41 port 80: Connection refused

if you use that deployment. Instead use something on the line of the included nginx-test-deployment.yaml:

kubectl apply -f nginx-test-deployment.yaml

Kubevirt

Based on https://kubevirt.io/user-guide/operations/installation/:

export RELEASE=v0.41.0
# Deploy the KubeVirt operator
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/releases/download/${RELEASE}/kubevirt-operator.yaml
# Create the KubeVirt CR (instance deployment request) which triggers the actual installation
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/releases/download/${RELEASE}/kubevirt-cr.yaml

This never happens:

# wait until all KubeVirt components are up
$ kubectl -n kubevirt wait kv kubevirt --for condition=Available

Old/obsolete information

Alpine / kubelet hack

Due to some misconfiguration on alpine, DURING the kubeadm init we need to modify the generated /var/lib/kubelet/config.yaml to replace "cgroupDriver: systemd" with "cgroupDriver: cgroupfs".

The same is necessary on the worker nodes, however that can be done anytime before you plan to schedule containers on them, after the kubeadm join request.

THIS is fixed if we use a kubeadm config file specifying the cgroupdriver.
