ansible_k3s

CyVerse Ansible k3s

This role will create a k3s standalone or cluster.

Requirements

If using Docker with k3s, then this role will depend on Docker already installed or a role that provides it.

This role will setup a firewall (ufw) and by default allow all nodes within the k3s cluster to communicate with each other.

This role makes assumptions in your host files. The following is an example inventory file with k3s_masters, k3s_agents, and k3s_cluster defined, which is the minimum declaration.

Note: At this time, only 1 master is supported

In .ini format

[k3s_masters]
  w.x.y.z

[k3s_agents]
  a.b.c.d
  e.f.g.h

[k3s_cluster:children]
  k3s_masters
  k3s_agents

In yaml format

all:
  hosts:
    k1:
      ansible_host: w.x.y.z
      ansible_user: root
    k2:
      ansible_host: a.b.c.d
      ansible_user: root
    k3:

- hosts: k3s_cluster
  become: true
  roles:
    - k3s
  vars:
    K3S_FORCE_UNINSTALL: true

About

This role will install a single or multi-cluster k3s, with the option of installing with postgresql. At this time, this is not suppose to be a comprehensive k3s, but rather a role sufficient for CyVerse's needs
