| 1 | +# Bootstrapping the Kubernetes Worker Nodes |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +All the commands need to be run on each of the worker nodes (`p1` and `p2` in this case) |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Prerequisites |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Install `socat`, `conntrack` and `ipset` |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +```shell |
| 10 | +sudo apt-get update |
| 11 | +sudo apt-get -y install socat conntrack ipset |
| 12 | +``` |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +Enable `systemd-resolved` for DNS. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +```shell |
| 17 | +sudo systemctl enable systemd-resolved.service |
| 18 | +sudo systemctl start systemd-resolved.service |
| 19 | +``` |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Disable Swap |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +As per [this guide](https://www.paulcourt.co.uk/article/pi-swap), there are few commands to run in order to disable the swap permanently. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +```shell |
| 26 | +sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff |
| 27 | +sudo dphys-swapfile uninstall |
| 28 | +sudo update-rc.d dphys-swapfile remove |
| 29 | +sudo rm -f /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +sudo service dphys-swapfile stop |
| 32 | +sudo systemctl disable dphys-swapfile.service |
| 33 | +``` |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Enable `br_netfilter` kernel module. This is used by `kube-proxy`. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +```shell |
| 38 | +echo br_netfilter | sudo tee -a /etc/modules |
| 39 | +``` |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +After these steps `reboot` the node. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +## Install the worker binaries |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +```shell |
| 46 | +sudo mkdir -p \ |
| 47 | + /etc/cni/net.d \ |
| 48 | + /opt/cni/bin \ |
| 49 | + /var/lib/kubelet \ |
| 50 | + /var/lib/kube-proxy \ |
| 51 | + /var/lib/kubernetes \ |
| 52 | + /var/run/kubernetes |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +sudo mv bin/containerd* bin/ctr /bin/ |
| 55 | +sudo mv bin/crictl bin/kube* bin/runc bin/recvtty /usr/local/bin/ |
| 56 | +sudo mv bin/* /opt/cni/bin/ |
| 57 | +``` |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +## Configure CNI Networking |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +Pod CIDR is `10.200.${i}.0/24` where `${i}` is the sequence of the worker node. In this case, for the Pi 1 is `10.200.0.0/24` and for the Pi 2 is `10.200.1.0/24`. Choose accordingly one of the following for the appropriated worker node. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +```shell |
| 64 | +POD_CIDR=10.200.0.0/24 |
| 65 | +POD_CIDR=10.200.1.0/24 |
| 66 | +``` |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +```shell |
| 69 | +cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/cni/net.d/10-bridge.conf |
| 70 | +{ |
| 71 | + "cniVersion": "0.3.1", |

| 83 | + } |
| 84 | +} |
| 85 | +EOF |
| 86 | +``` |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +```shell |
| 89 | +cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/cni/net.d/99-loopback.conf |
| 90 | +{ |
| 91 | + "cniVersion": "0.3.1", |
| 92 | + "name": "lo", |
| 93 | + "type": "loopback" |
| 94 | +} |
| 95 | +EOF |
| 96 | +``` |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +## Configure containerd |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +Important attention to `titilambert/armv6-pause:latest`, the original `k8s.gcr.io/pause` doesn’t work on ARMv6, so I found an alternative already published that worked for me. You can always build the image yourself from the source once compiled the `pause` binary but I didn’t go that far. |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +```shell |
| 103 | +sudo mkdir -p /etc/containerd/ |
| 104 | +``` |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +```shell |
| 107 | +cat << EOF | sudo tee /etc/containerd/config.toml |

| 271 | +``` |
| 272 | + |
| 273 | +The trailing `-dirty` is because I didn’t commit my changes to the kubelet source above, therefore the build script picked up on it and updated the version id. |
