### Upstream DNS-resolver <a name="user-content-upstream-dns-resolver"></a>
Docs: https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.x/en/troubleshooting/dns/
Default: 8.8.8.8 => does not resolve local domains!
1. local /etc/resolv.k3s.conf -> ip-of-dnsresolver (127.0.0.1 **does not work!**)
2. vi /etc/systemd/system/k3s.service:
```
[...]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/k3s \
server [...] --resolv-conf /etc/resolv.k3s.conf \
```
3. Re-load systemd config: `systemctl daemon-reload`
4. Re-start k3s: `systemctl restart k3s.service`
5. Re-deploy coredns-pods: `kubectl -n kube-system delete pod name-of-coredns-pods`
### Change NodePort range to 1 - 65535 <a name="user-content-nodeport-range"></a>
1. vi /etc/systemd/system/k3s.service:
```
[...]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/k3s \
server [...] --kube-apiserver-arg service-node-port-range=1-65535 \
```
2. Re-load systemd config: `systemctl daemon-reload`
3. Re-start k3s: `systemctl restart k3s.service`
### Install Canal as NetworkPolicy controller <a name="user-content-canal"></a>
1. Download the yaml manifest Canal: `wget https://docs.projectcalico.org/manifests/canal.yaml -O canal.yaml`
1. Find and enable (uncomment) the env variable `CALICO_IPV4POOL_CIDR`
1. Set the value of `CALICO_IPV4POOL_CIDR` to `10.42.0.0/16` (or your value of `--cluster-cidr` - k3s defaults to `10.42.0.0/16`)
1. Apply the manifest: `kubectl apply -f canal.yaml`
1. Wait a moment and then check if canal was installed successfully
```
kubectl -n kube-system get pod | grep canal
canal-drmrl 2/2 Running 0 1m
[...]
```
### Clustering <a name="user-content-clustering"></a>
If you want to build a K3s-cluster the default networking model is *overlay@VXLAN*. In this case make sure that
* all of your nodes can reach (ping) each other over the underlying network (local, routed/vpn). This is required for the overlay network to work properly. VXLAN spans a mashed network over all K3s-nodes.
* if your nodes are spread over public networks (like the internet) use a VPN (like IPSec or OpenVPN) to secure the traffic between the nodes. **VXLAN uses plain UDP for transport!**
* if your nodes are connected through VPN, `flannel` (overlay network daemon) should explicitly communicate via the vpn network interface instead of the public network interface. Following settings should be made on the nodes:
```
/etc/systemd/system/k3s-agent.service:
[...]
ExecStartPre=sleep 60
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/k3s \
agent \
--flannel-iface <name-of-vpn-interface> \
```
* if your public/external nodes are connected through VPN and you have configured [canal](https://github.com/projectcalico/canal) to manage NetworkPolicies you will need to edit node config and change the public IP-addresses (in this example: `1.2.3.4`) of your nodes to internal VPN-IPs (in this example: `172.16.1.2`). Otherwise canal will bypass VPN and route VXLAN traffic through public IP addresses:
```
kubectl edit node <external-node-01>
apiVersion: v1
kind: Node
metadata:
annotations:
alpha.kubernetes.io/provided-node-ip: 172.16.1.2
[...]
flannel.alpha.coreos.com/backend-data: '{"VtepMAC":"ce:09:ce:de:4d:36"}'
flannel.alpha.coreos.com/backend-type: vxlan
flannel.alpha.coreos.com/kube-subnet-manager: "true"
>> DEL >> flannel.alpha.coreos.com/public-ip: 1.2.3.4
>> ADD >> flannel.alpha.coreos.com/public-ip: 172.16.1.2
[...]
```
## On Docker with K3d <a name="user-content-install-k3s-on-docker-k3d"></a>
K3d is a terraforming orchestrator which deploys a K3s cluster (masters and nodes) directly on docker without the need for virtual machines for each node (master/worker).
* Prerequisites: a local docker installation **without user-namespaces enabled**.
* **Warning**: K3d deploys privileged containers!
https://k3d.io/:
```
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/k3d/main/install.sh | bash
```
Create a K3s cluster without `traefik``
```
k3d cluster create cluster1 \
--agents 2 \
--k3s-server-arg '--disable=traefik' \
--k3s-server-arg '--kube-apiserver-arg=service-node-port-range=1-65535'
```
If you encounter `helm` throwing errors like this one:
```
Error: Kubernetes cluster unreachable
```
... just do:
```
$ kubectl config view --raw > ~/kubeconfig-k3d.yaml
$ export KUBECONFIG=~/kubeconfig-k3d.yaml
```
If you need to change the upstream DNS-resolver:
```
kubectl -n kube-system edit configmap coredns
```
Find the line containing
```
forward . /etc/resolv.conf
```
and change the content to
```
forward . ipaddr.of.your.dns-resolver
```
Finally re-deploy the CoreDNS deployment with:
`kubectl -n kube-system rollout restart deployment coredns`
**Note:** If you restart the cluster (`k3d cluster stop your-cluster` and `k3d cluster start your-cluster`), the changes will be gone!

### Custom StorageClass <a name="user-content-pv-longhorn-custom-storageclass"></a>
The following storageClass `longhorn-2r` will define 2 `replicas`, no `dataLocality` and EXT4 as filesystem:
```
allowVolumeExpansion: true
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:

```
### Volume backups with S3 (compatible) storage <a name="user-content-pv-longhorn-s3-backup"></a>
If you do not want to expose your volume backups to public cloud (e.g. AWS), you need to provide a local S3 storage server. This can be easily done with [minio](https://longhorn.io/docs/1.2.2/snapshots-and-backups/backup-and-restore/set-backup-target/#set-up-a-local-testing-backupstore):
```
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: s3-backup-secret
namespace: longhorn-system
type: Opaque
data:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: bG9uZ2hvcm4= # Base64: <THE access key ID>
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: Qmx1YmIxMjM0IQ== # Base64: <THE acces key secret>
AWS_ENDPOINTS: aHR0cHM6Ly95b3VyLnMzLmVuZHBvaW50 # Base64: <https://your.s3.endpoint>
```
# Ingress controller <a name="user-content-ingress-controller"></a>
## Disable Traefik-ingress <a name="user-content-disable-traefik-ingress"></a>
edit /etc/systemd/system/k3s.service:
```
[...]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/k3s \
server [...] --disable traefik \
[...]
```
Finally `systemctl daemon-reload` and `systemctl restart k3s`
## Enable K8s own NGINX-ingress with OCSP stapling <a name="user-content-enable-nginx-ingress"></a>
### Installation <a name="user-content-install-nginx-ingress"></a>
This is the helm chart of the K8s own nginx ingress controller:
https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/#using-helm
```
$ kubectl create ns ingress-nginx
$ helm repo add ingress-nginx https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx
$ helm -n ingress-nginx install ingress-nginx ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx
```
```
$ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get all

```
The nginx ingress global configuration can be modified as follows:
```
$ kubectl -n ingress-nginx edit configmap ingress-nginx-controller
apiVersion: v1
<<<ADD BEGINN>>>
data:
enable-ocsp: "true"
use-gzip: "true"
worker-processes: "1"
<<<ADD END>>>
kind: ConfigMap
[...]
```
Finally the deployment needs to be restarted:
`kubectl -n ingress-nginx rollout restart deployment ingress-nginx-controller`
**If you are facing deployment problems like the following one**
```
Error: UPGRADE FAILED: cannot patch "gitea-ingress-staging" with kind Ingress: Internal error occurred: failed calling webhook "validate.nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io": Post https://nginx-ingress-controller-admission.ingress-nginx.svc:443/networking/v1beta1/ingresses?timeout=10s: context deadline exceeded
```
A possible fix: `kubectl -n ingress-nginx delete ValidatingWebhookConfiguration ingress-nginx-admission`

ClusterIssuers are a resource type similar to Issuers. They are specified in exactly the same way,
but they do not belong to a single namespace and can be referenced by Certificate resources from
multiple different namespaces.

## Deploying a LE-certificate with ingress <a name="user-content-cert-manager-ingress"></a>
All you need is an `Ingress` resource of class `nginx` which references a ClusterIssuer (`letsencrypt-http01-prod-issuer`) resource.
HTTP-01 solver (`cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: "letsencrypt-http01-prod-issuer"`):
```
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
namespace: <stage>
name: some-ingress-name
annotations:
# use the shared ingress-nginx
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: "letsencrypt-http01-prod-issuer"
spec:
tls:
- hosts:
- some-certificate.name.san
secretName: target-certificate-secret-name
rules:
- host: some-certificate.name.san
http:
paths:
- path: /
backend:
serviceName: some-target-service
servicePort: some-target-service-port
```
DNS-01 solver (`cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: "letsencrypt-dns01-prod-issuer"`):
```
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
namespace: <stage>
name: some-ingress-name
annotations:
# use the shared ingress-nginx
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: "letsencrypt-dns01-prod-issuer"
spec:
tls:
- hosts:
- some-certificate.name.san
secretName: target-certificate-secret-name
rules:
- host: some-certificate.name.san
http:
paths:
- path: /
backend:
serviceName: some-target-service
servicePort: some-target-service-port
```
## Deploying a LE-certificate by CRD <a name="user-content-cert-manager-crd"></a>
All you need is a Certificate-CRD (Custom Resource Definition) like this one:
```
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: Certificate
metadata:
name: some-certificate
namespace: staging
spec:
# Secret names are always required.
secretName: some-secret
duration: 2160h # 90d
renewBefore: 360h # 15d
# The use of the common name field has been deprecated since 2000 and is
# discouraged from being used.
commonName: some.fully.qualified.domain.name
isCA: false
privateKey:
algorithm: RSA
encoding: PKCS1
size: 4096
usages:
- server auth
- client auth
# At least one of a DNS Name, URI, or IP address is required.
dnsNames:
- some.fully.qualified.domain.name
# Issuer references are always required.
issuerRef:
name: <your-favourite-cluster-issuer>
# We can reference ClusterIssuers by changing the kind here.
# The default value is Issuer (i.e. a locally namespaced Issuer)
kind: ClusterIssuer
```
After the certificate was issued, you can reference it as a volume within a deployment:
```
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
labels:
app: nginx-ssl
name: nginx-ssl
namespace: staging
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginx-ssl
strategy:
type: Recreate
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: nginx-ssl
spec:
volumes:
- name: nginx-ssl-volume
secret:
secretName: some-secret
containers:
- image: nginx
name: nginx-ssl
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: "/etc/nginx/ssl"
name: nginx-ssl-volume
readOnly: true
ports:
- containerPort: 80
restartPolicy: Always
```
## Troubleshooting <a name="user-content-cert-manager-troubleshooting"></a>
Docs: https://cert-manager.io/docs/faq/acme/
ClusterIssuers are *visible* any namespaces:
```
kubectl get clusterissuer
kubectl describe clusterissuer <object>
```
All other ingres-specific cert-manager resources are running <stage> specific namespaces:
```
kubectl -n <stage> get certificaterequest
kubectl -n <stage> describe certificaterequest <object>
kubectl -n <stage> get certificate
kubectl -n <stage> describe certificate <object>
kubectl -n <stage> get secret
kubectl -n <stage> describe secret <object>
kubectl -n <stage> get challenge
kubectl -n <stage> describe challenge <object>
```
After successfull setup perform a TLS-test:
* https://testssl.sh/ (`apt install testssl.sh`)
* https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html

# Kubernetes in action <a name="user-content-kubernetes-in-action"></a>
## Running DaemonSets with `hostNetwork: true` <a name="user-content-running-daemonsets"></a>
* [Docs: DaemonSet](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/daemonset/)
* [(Security) hints on using `hostNetwork`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/policy/pod-security-policy/#host-namespaces)
* [Pod´s DNS policy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/dns-pod-service/#pod-s-dns-policy)
This setup is suitable for scenarios where kubernetes nodes are already running with dual-IP-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) and the Pod needs IPv6 too, but k3s was deployed in ipv4-only mode. In this case the Pod can be deployed in the network namespace of the kubernetes node.
```
kind: DaemonSet
apiVersion: apps/v1
metadata:
name: netcat-daemonset
labels:
app: netcat-daemonset
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: netcat-daemonset
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: netcat-daemonset
spec:
hostNetwork: true

image: alpine
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent

```
## Services <a name="user-content-services"></a>
### Client-IP transparency and loadbalancing <a name="user-content-services-client-ip-transparency"></a>
```
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
[...]
spec:
type: NodePort
externalTrafficPolicy: <<Local|Cluster>>
[...]
```
`externalTrafficPolicy: Cluster` (default) spreads the incoming traffic over all pods evenly. To achieve this the client ip-address must be source-NATted and therefore it´s not *visible* to the PODs.
`externalTrafficPolicy: Local` preserves the original client ip-address which is visible to the PODs. In any case (`DaemonSet` or `StatefulSet`) traffic remains on the Node which gets the traffic. In case of `StatefulSet` if more than one POD of a `ReplicaSet` is scheduled on the same Node, the workload gets balanced over all PODs on the same Node.
### Session affinity/persistence <a name="user-content-services-session-persistence"></a>
```
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
[...]
spec:
type: NodePort
sessionAffinity: <<ClientIP|None>>
sessionAffinityConfig:
clientIP:
timeoutSeconds: 10
[]
```
Session persistence (`None` by default) is only supported on client ip-address. Cookie-stickiness or stickiness on any other/higher layer is not supported yet.
## What happens if a node goes down? <a name="user-content-what-happens-node-down"></a>
If a node goes down kubernetes marks this node as *NotReady*, but nothing else happens until [Pod tolerations](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/taint-and-toleration) take place, which are per default configured with a *timeout* of `300s` (5 minutes!).
```
$ kubectl get node
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
k3s-node2 Ready <none> 103d v1.19.5+k3s2
k3s-master Ready master 103d v1.19.5+k3s2
k3s-node1 NotReady <none> 103d v1.19.5+k3s2
$ kubectl get pod
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
ds-test-5mlkt 1/1 Running 14 28h
web-1 1/1 Running 0 26m
web-2 1/1 Running 0 26m
ds-test-c6xx8 1/1 Running 0 18m
ds-test-w45dv 1/1 Running 5 28h
```
Pod tolerations can be determined like this:
```
$ kubectl -n <namespace> describe pod <pod-name>
[...]
Tolerations: node.kubernetes.io/not-ready:NoExecute op=Exists for 300s
node.kubernetes.io/unreachable:NoExecute op=Exists for 300s
[...]
```
To be more reactive to node failures Pod tolerations can be adjusted within the Pod template as follows:
```
kind: Deployment or StatefulSet
apiVersion: apps/v1
metadata:
[...]
spec:
[...]
template:
[...]
spec:
tolerations:
- key: "node.kubernetes.io/unreachable"
operator: "Exists"
effect: "NoExecute"
tolerationSeconds: 30
- key: "node.kubernetes.io/not-ready"
operator: "Exists"
effect: "NoExecute"
tolerationSeconds: 30
[...]
```
## Keeping the cluster balanced <a name="user-content-keep-cluster-balanced"></a>
In first place, Kubernetes takes care of high availability, but not of well balance of pods per node.
In case of `Deployment` or `StatefulSet` a [`topologySpreadConstraint`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-topology-spread-constraints/) needs to be specified:
```
kind: Deployment or StatefulSet
apiVersion: apps/v1
metadata:
[...]
spec:
[...]
template:
[...]
spec:
# Prevent to schedule more than one pod per node
topologySpreadConstraints:
- labelSelector:
matchLabels:
app: the-app
maxSkew: 1
topologyKey: kubernetes.io/hostname
whenUnsatisfiable: DoNotSchedule
[...]
```
`DaemonSet` workloads do not support `topologySpreadConstraints` at all.
## Node maintenance <a name="user-content-node-maintenance"></a>
*Mark* a node for maintenance:
```
$ kubectl drain k3s-node2 --ignore-daemonsets
$ kubectl get node
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
k3s-node1 Ready <none> 105d v1.19.5+k3s2
k3s-master Ready master 105d v1.19.5+k3s2
k3s-node2 Ready,SchedulingDisabled <none> 105d v1.19.5+k3s
```
All Deployment as well as StatefulSet pods have been rescheduled on remaining nodes. DaemonSet pods were not touched! Node maintenance can be performed now.
To bring the maintained node back in cluster:
```
$ kubectl uncordon k3s-node2
node/k3s-node2 uncordoned
```
