Note: This article largely borrows from my previous writeup on installing K8s 1.7 on CentOS.
Getting a local K8s cluster up and running is one of the first "baby steps" of toddling into the K8s ecosystem. While it would often be considered easier (and safer) to get K8s set up in a cluster of virtual machines (VMs), it does not really give you the same degree of advantage and flexibility as running K8s "natively" on your own host.
That is why, when we decided to upgrade our Integration Platform for K8s 1.7 compatibility, I decided to go with a native K8s installation for my dev environment, a laptop running Ubuntu 16.04 on 16GB RAM and a ?? CPU. While I could run three—at most four—reasonably powerful VMs in there as my dev K8s cluster, I could do much better in terms of resource saving (the cluster would be just a few low-footprint services, rather than resource-eating VMs) as well as ease of operation and management (start the services, and the cluster is ready in seconds). Whenever I wanted to try multi-node stuff like node groups or zones with fail-over I could simply hook up one or two secondary (worker) VMs to get things going, and shut them down when I'm done.
I had already been running K8s 1.2 on my machine, but the upgrade would not have been easy as it's a hyperjump from 1.2 to 1.7. Luckily, the K8s guys had written their installation scripts in an amazingly structured and intuitive way, so I could get everything running with around one day's struggle (most of which went into understanding the command flow and modifying it to suit Ubuntu, and my particular requirements).
I could easily have utilized the official kubeadm guide or the Juju-based installer for Ubuntu, but I wanted to get at least a basic idea of how things get glued together; additionally I also wanted an easily reproducable installation from scratch, with minimal dependencies on external packages or installers, so I could upgrade my cluster any time I desire, by directly building the latest stable—or beta or even alpha, if it comes to that—directly off the K8s source.
I started with the CentOS cluster installer, and gradually modified it to suit Ubuntu 16.04 (luckily the changes were minimal). Most of the things were in line with the installation for CentOS, including artifact build (make at the source root) and modifications to exclude custom downloads for etcd, flanneld and docker (I built the former two from their sources, and the latter I had already installed via the apt package manager). However the service configuration scripts had to be modified slightly to suit the Ubuntu (more precisely Debian) filesystem.
In my case I run apiserver on port 8090 rather than 8080 (to leave room for other application servers that are fond of 8080), hence I had to do some additional changes to propagate the port change throughout the K8s platform.
So, in summary, I had to utilize the following set of patches to get everything in place. If necessary, you could utilize them by applying them on top of the v1.7.2-beta.0 tag (possibly even a different tag) of the K8s source using the git apply command.

With these changes in place, installing K8s on my machine was straightforward, which included simply running this command from within the cluster directory of the patched source:
MASTER=janaka@10.0.0.1 \ NODES=janaka@10.0.0.1 \ DOCKER_OPTS="--insecure-registry=hub.adroitlogic.com:5000" \ KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=centos \ CERT_GROUP=janaka \ ./kube-up.sh
- Because the certificate generation process has problems with localhost or 127.0.0.1 I had to use a static IP (10.0.0.1) assigned to one of my network interfaces.
- I have one master and one worker node, both of which are my own machine itself.
- janaka is the username on my local machine.
- We have a local Docker hub for holding our IPS images, at hub.adroitlogic.com:5000 (resolved via internal hostname mappings), which we need to inject to the Docker startup script (in order to be able to utilize our own images within the future IPS set-up).
Takeaway?
- learned a bit about how K8s components fit together,
- added quite a bit of shell scripting tips and tricks to my book of knowledge,
- had my 101 on [Linux services (systemd)],
- skipped one lunch,
- fought several hours of frustration,
- and finally felt a truckload of satisfaction, which flushed out the frustration without a trace.
