<p>AppGate SDP provides a Zero Trust network. This post describes how to get AppGate SDP <code>4.3.2</code> working on Arch Linux.</p>
|
||||
<p>Depending on the AppGate SDP Server that is running, you may require a client that is more recent than the latest package on <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/appgate-sdp/">AUR</a>.
|
||||
As of right now, the latest AUR is <code>4.2.2-1</code>.</p>
|
||||
<p>These steps highlight how to get it working with <code>Python3.8</code> by making a 1 line modification to AppGate source code.</p>
|
||||
<h1 id="packaging">Packaging</h1>
|
||||
<p>We already know the community package is currently out of date, so let’s clone it:</p>
|
||||
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f0f3f3;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-shell" data-lang="shell">git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/appgate-sdp.git
|
||||
<span style="color:#366">cd</span> appgate-sdp
|
||||
</code></pre></div><p>You’ll likely notice that the version is not what we want, so let’s modify the <code>PKGBUILD</code> to the following:</p>

</code></pre></div><p>Aha! So this is in the local AppGate source code. This should be an easy fix. Let’s just replace this line with:</p>

<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f0f3f3;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-python" data-lang="python"><span style="color:#069;font-weight:bold">if</span> <span style="color:#069;font-weight:bold">True</span>: <span style="color:#09f;font-style:italic"># Since we are not using Fedora :)</span>
|
||||
</code></pre></div><h1 id="wrapping-up">Wrapping up</h1>
|
||||
<p>It turns out there are <a href="https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/platform.html#platform.linux_distribution">breaking changes</a> in Python3.8.</p>
|
||||
<p>The docs say <code>Deprecated since version 3.5, will be removed in version 3.8: See alternative like the distro package.</code></p>
|
||||
<p>I suppose this highlights one of the caveats of relying upon the system’s python, rather than having an isolated, dedicated environment for all dependencies.</p>

<p>A homelab can be an inexpensive way to host a multitude of internal/external services and learn <em>a lot</em> in the process.</p>
|
||||
<p>Do you want host your own Media server? Ad blocker? Web server?
|
||||
Are you interested in learning more about Linux? Virtualization? Networking? Security?
|
||||
Building a homelab can be an entertaining playground to enhance your computer skills.</p>
|
||||
<p>One of the best parts about building a homelab is that it doesn’t have to be a large investment in terms of hardware. One of the simplest ways to build a homelab is out of a <a href="https://ca.refurb.io/products/hp-800-g1-usff-intel-core-i5-4570s-16gb-ram-512gb-ssd-wifi-windows-10-pro?variant=33049503825943">refurbished computer</a>.
|
||||
Having multiple machines/nodes provides the advantage of increased redundancy, but starting out with a single node is enough to reap many of the benefits of having a homelab.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="virtualization">Virtualization</h2>
|
||||
<p>Virtualizing your hardware is an organized way of dividing up your machine’s resources. This can be done with something such as a <em>Virtual Machine</em> or something lighter like a container using <em>LXC</em> or <em>runC</em>.
|
||||
Containers have much less overhead in terms of boot time and storage allocation. This <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16047306/how-is-docker-different-from-a-virtual-machine">Stack Overflow answer</a> sums it up nicely.</p>
|
||||
<p><img src="/images/proxmox.png" alt="image"></p>
|
||||
<p>A hypervisor such as <a href="https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve/get-started">Proxmox</a> can be installed in minutes on a new machine. It provides a web interface and a straight-forward way to spin up new VMs and containers. Even if your plan is to run mostly docker containers, Proxmox can be a useful abstraction for managing VMs, disks and running scheduled backups. You can even run docker within an LXC container by enabling nested virtualization. You’ll want to ensure that VT-d and VT-x are enabled in the BIOS if you decide to install a hypervisor to manage your virtualization.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="services">Services</h2>
|
||||
<p>So what are some useful services to deploy?</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><a href="https://jellyfin.org/">Jellyfin</a> or <a href="https://www.plex.tv/">Plex</a> - basically a self-hosted Netflix that can be used to stream from multiple devices, and the best part is that you manage the content! Unlike Plex, Jellyfin is open source and can be found <a href="https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin">here</a>.</li>
|
||||
<li><a href="https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io">changedetection</a> - is a self-hosted equivalent to something like <a href="https://visualping.io/">visualping.io</a> that will notify you when a webpage changes and keep track of the diffs</li>
|
||||
<li><a href="https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome">Adguard</a> or <a href="https://pi-hole.net/">Pihole</a> - can block a list of known trackers for all clients on your local network. I’ve used pihole for a long time, but have recently switched to Adguard since the UI is more modern and it has the ability to toggle on/off a pre-defined list of services, including Netflix (this is useful if you have stealthy young kids). Either of these will speed up your internet experience, simply because you won’t need to download all of the extra tracking bloat.</li>
|
||||
<li><a href="https://gitea.io/">Gitea</a> - A lightweight git server. I use this to mirror git repos from GitHub, GitLab, etc.</li>
|
||||
<li><a href="https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer">Homer</a> - A customizable landing page for services you need to access (including the ability to quickly search).</li>
|
||||
<li><a href="https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma">Uptime Kuma</a> - A fancy tool for monitoring the uptime of services.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>There is a large number of services you can self-host, including your own applications that you might be developing. <a href="https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted">awesome-self-hosted</a> provides a curated list of services that might be of interest to you.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="vpn">VPN</h2>
|
||||
<p>You could certainly setup and manage your own VPN by using something like <a href="https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/">OpenVPN</a>, but there is also something else you can try: <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a>. It is a very quick way to create fully-encrypted connections between clients. With its <a href="https://tailscale.com/kb/1081/magicdns/">MagicDNS</a>, your can reference the names of machines like <code>homer</code> rather than using an IP address. By using this mesh-like VPN, you can easily create a secure tunnel to your homelab from anywhere.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="monitoring">Monitoring</h2>
|
||||
<p><img src="/images/netdata.png" alt="dashboard"></p>
|
||||
<p>Monitoring can become an important aspect of your homelab after it starts to become something that is relied upon. One of the simplest ways to setup some monitoring is using <a href="https://www.netdata.cloud/">netdata</a>. It can be installed on individual containers, VMs, and also a hypervisor (such as Proxmox). All of the monitoring works out of the box by detecting disks, memory, network interfaces, etc.</p>
|
||||
<p>Additionally, agents installed on different machines can all be centrally viewed in netdata, and it can alert you when some of your infrastructure is down or in a degraded state. Adding additional nodes to netdata is as simple as a 1-line shell command.</p>
|
||||
<p>As mentioned above, <a href="https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma">Uptime Kuma</a> is a convenient way to track uptime and monitor the availability of your services.</p>
|
||||
<p><img src="/images/uptime-kuma.png" alt="uptime-kuma"></p>
|
||||
<h2 id="in-summary">In Summary</h2>
|
||||
<p>Building out a homelab can be a rewarding experience and it doesn’t require buying a rack full of expensive servers to get a significant amount of utility. There are many services that you can run that require very minimal setup, making it possible to get a server up and running in a short period of time, with monitoring, and that can be securely connected to remotely.</p>

<p>Over the years I have collected a number of dotfiles that I have shared across both Linux and macOS machines (<code>~/.zshrc</code>, <code>~/.config/git/config</code>, <code>~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf</code>, etc). I have tried several different ways to manage them, including <a href="https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles">bare git repos</a> and utilities such as <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/">GNU Stow</a>. These solutions work well enough, but I have since found what I would consider a much better solution for organizing user configuration: <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a>.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="what-is-home-manager">What is home-manager?</h2>
|
||||
<p>Before understanding home-manager, it is worth briefly discussing what nix is. <a href="https://nixos.org/">nix</a> is a package manager that originally spawned from a <a href="https://edolstra.github.io/pubs/phd-thesis.pdf">PhD thesis</a>. Unlike other package managers, it uses symbolic links to keep track of the currently installed packages, keeping around the old ones in case you may want to rollback.</p>
|
||||
<p>For example, I have used nix to install the package <a href="https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&show=bind&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=bind">bind</a> which includes <code>dig</code>. You can see that it is available on multiple platforms. The absolute path of <code>dig</code> can be found by running:</p>
|
||||
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f0f3f3;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console"><span style="color:#009;font-weight:bold">$ </span>ls -lh <span style="color:#069;font-weight:bold">$(</span>which dig<span style="color:#069;font-weight:bold">)</span>
|
||||
<span style="color:#aaa">lrwxr-xr-x 73 root 31 Dec 1969 /run/current-system/sw/bin/dig -> /nix/store/0r4qdyprljd3dki57jn6c6a8dh2rbg9g-bind-9.16.16-dnsutils/bin/dig
|
||||
</span></code></pre></div><p>Notice that there is a hash included in the file path? This is a nix store path and is computed by the nix package manager. This <a href="https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/nix-store-paths.html">nix pill</a> does a good job explaining how this hash is computed. All of the nix pills are worth a read, if you are interested in learning more about nix itself. However, using home-manager does not require extensive knowledge of nix.</p>
|
||||
<p>Part of the nix ecosystem includes <a href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs">nixpkgs</a>. Many popular tools can be found already packaged in this repository. As you can see with these <a href="https://repology.org/repositories/statistics/total">stats</a>, there is a large number of existing packages that are being maintained by the community. Contributing a new package is easy, and anyone can do it!</p>
|
||||
<p>home-manager leverages the nix package manager (and nixpkgs), as well the nix language so that you can declaratively define your system configuration. I store my <a href="https://github.com/davegallant/nix-config">nix-config</a> in git so that I can keep track of my packages and configurations, and retain a clean and informative git commit history so that I can understand what changed and why.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="setting-up-home-manager">Setting up home-manager</h2>
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>⚠️ If you run this on your main machine, make sure you backup your configuration files first. home-manager is pretty good about not overwriting existing configuration, but it is better to have a backup! Alternatively, you could test this out on a VM or cloud instance.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
<p>The first thing you should do is <a href="https://nixos.org/guides/install-nix.html">install nix</a>:</p>
|
||||
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f0f3f3;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-shell" data-lang="shell">curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
|
||||
</code></pre></div><p>It’s not a good idea to curl and execute files from the internet (without verifying integrity), so you might want to download the install script first and take a peak before executing it!</p>
|
||||
<p>Open up a new shell in your terminal and running <code>nix</code> <em>should</em> work. If not, run <code>. ~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh</code></p>
|
||||
<p>Now, <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager#installation">install home-manager</a>:</p>
|
||||
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f0f3f3;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-shell" data-lang="shell">nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
|
||||
nix-channel --update
|
||||
nix-shell <span style="color:#c30">'<home-manager>'</span> -A install
|
||||
</code></pre></div><p>You should see a wave of <code>/nix/store/*</code> paths being displayed on your screen.</p>
|
||||
<p>Now, to start off with a basic configuration, open up <code>~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix</code> in the editor of your choice and paste this in (you will want to change <code>userName</code> and <code>homeDirectory</code>):</p>

</code></pre></div><p>Save the file and run:</p>
|
||||
<pre tabindex="0"><code>home-manager switch
|
||||
</code></pre><p>You should see another wave of <code>/nix/store/*</code> paths. The new configuration should now be active.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you run <code>zsh</code>, you should see that you have <a href="https://starship.rs/">starship</a> and access to several other utils such as <code>rg</code>, <code>fd</code>, and <code>exa</code>.</p>
|
||||
<p>This basic configuration above is also defining your <code>~/.config/git/config</code> and <code>.zshrc</code>. If you already have either of these files, home-manager will complain about them already existing.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you run <code>cat ~/.zshrc</code>, you will see the way these configuration files are generated.</p>
|
||||
<p>You can extend this configuration for programs such as (neo)vim, emacs, alacritty, ssh, etc. To see other programs, take a look at <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/tree/master/modules/programs">home-manager/modules/programs</a>.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="gateway-to-nix">Gateway To Nix</h2>
|
||||
<p>In ways, home-manager can be seen as a gateway to the nix ecosystem. If you have enjoyed the way you can declare user configuration with home-manager, you may be interested in expanding your configuration to include other system dependencies and configuration. For example, in Linux you can define your entire system’s configuration (including the kernel, kernel modules, networking, filesystems, etc) in nix. For macOS, there is <a href="https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin">nix-darwin</a> that includes nix modules for configuring launchd, dock, and other preferences and services. You may also want to check out <a href="https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes">Nix Flakes</a>: a more recent feature that allows you declare dependencies, and have them automatically pinned and hashed in <code>flake.lock</code>, similar to that of many modern package managers.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="wrapping-up">Wrapping up</h2>
|
||||
<p>The title of this post is slightly misleading, since it’s possible to retain some of your dotfiles and have them intermingle with home-manager by including them alongside nix. The idea of defining user configuration using nix can provide a clean way to maintain your configuration, and allow it to be portable across platforms. Is it worth the effort to migrate away from shell scripts and dotfiles? I’d say so.</p>

<p>Rotating credentials is a security best practice. This morning, I read a question about automatically rotating AWS Access Keys without having to go through the hassle of navigating the AWS console. There are some existing solutions already, but I decided to write a <a href="https://gist.github.com/davegallant/2c042686a78684a657fe99e20fa7a924#file-aws_access_key_rotator-py">script</a> since it was incredibly simple. The script could be packed up as a systemd/launchd service to continually rotate access keys in the background.</p>
|
||||
<p>In the longer term, migrating my local workflows to <a href="https://github.com/99designs/aws-vault">aws-vault</a> seems like a more secure solution. This would mean that credentials (even temporary session credentials) never have to be written in plaintext to disk (i.e. where <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/file-location.html">AWS suggests</a>). Any existing applications, such as terraform, could be have their credentials passed to them from aws-vault, which retrieves them from the OS’s secure keystore. There is even a <a href="https://github.com/99designs/aws-vault/blob/master/USAGE.md#rotating-credentials">rotate command</a> included.</p>

<p>There are a number of reasons why you might want to replace docker, especially on macOS. The following feature bundled in Docker Desktop might have motivated you enough to consider replacing docker:</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">...ignoring Docker updates is a paid feature now?? <a href="https://t.co/ZxKW3b9LQM">pic.twitter.com/ZxKW3b9LQM</a></p>— Brendan Dolan-Gavitt (@moyix) <a href="https://twitter.com/moyix/status/1388586550682861568?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 1, 2021</a></blockquote>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>Docker has been one of the larger influencers in the container world, helping to standardize the <a href="https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec/blob/main/spec.md">OCI Image Format Specification</a>. For many developers, containers have become synonymous with terms like <code>docker</code> and <code>Dockerfile</code> (a file containing build instructions for a container image). Docker has certainly made it very convenient to build and run containers, but it is not the only solution for doing so.</p>
|
||||
<p>This post briefly describes my experience swapping out docker for podman on macOS.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="what-is-a-container">What is a container?</h3>
|
||||
<p>A container is a standard unit of software that packages up all application dependencies within it. Multiple containers can be run on a host machine all sharing the same kernel as the host. Linux namespaces help provide an isolated view of the system, including mnt, pid, net, ipc, uid, cgroup, and time. There is an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK5i-N34im8">in-depth video</a> that discusses what containers are made from, and <a href="https://youtu.be/sK5i-N34im8?t=2468">near the end</a> there is a demonstration on how to build your own containers from the command line.</p>
|
||||
<p>By easily allowing the necessary dependencies to live alongside the application code, containers make the “works on my machine” problem less of a problem.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="benefits-of-podman">Benefits of Podman</h3>
|
||||
<p>One of the most interesting features of Podman is that it is daemonless. There isn’t a process running on your system managing your containers. In contrast, the docker client is reliant upon the docker daemon (often running as root) to be able to build and run containers.</p>
|
||||
<p>Podman is rootless by default. It is now possible to <a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/">run the docker daemon rootless</a> as well, but it’s still not the default behaviour.</p>
|
||||
<p>I’ve also observed that so far my 2019 16" Macbook Pro hasn’t sounded like a jet engine, although I haven’t performed any disk-intensive operations yet.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="installing-podman">Installing Podman</h3>
|
||||
<p>Running Podman on macOS is more involved than on Linux, because the podman-machine must run Linux inside of a virtual machine. Fortunately, the installation is made simple with <a href="https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/podman">brew</a> (read <a href="https://podman.io/getting-started/installation#linux-distributions">this</a> if you’re installing Podman on Linux):</p>

<p>Until the fix is released, a workaround is to just specify a port (even when it’s not needed):</p>

|
||||
</code></pre></div><p>If you’re reading this from the future, there is a good chance specifying a port won’t be needed.</p>
|
||||
<p>Another example of running a container with Podman can be found in the <a href="https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/installing.html#podman">Jellyfin Documentation</a>.</p>

<h3 id="aliasing-docker-with-podman">Aliasing docker with podman</h3>

<p>Force of habit (or other scripts) may have you calling <code>docker</code>. To work around this:</p>

<p>You may be wondering: what about docker-compose? Well, there <em>claims</em> to be a drop-in replacement for it: <a href="https://github.com/containers/podman-compose">podman-compose</a>.</p>

|
||||
<h3 id="summary">Summary</h3>
|
||||
<p>Installing Podman on macOS was not seamless, but it was manageable well within 30 minutes. I would recommend giving Podman a try to anyone who is unhappy with experiencing forced docker updates, or who is interested in using a more modern technology for running containers.</p>
|
||||
<p>One caveat to mention is that there isn’t an official graphical user interface for Podman, but there is an <a href="https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/11494">open issue</a> considering one. If you rely heavily on Docker Desktop’s UI, you may not be as interested in using podman yet.</p>
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>Update: After further usage, bind mounts do not seem to work out of the box when the client and host are on different machines. A rather involved solution using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSHFS">sshfs</a> was shared <a href="https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/8016#issuecomment-920015800">here</a>.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
<p>I had been experimenting with Podman on Linux before writing this, but after listening to this <a href="https://kubernetespodcast.com/episode/164-podman/">podcast episode</a>, I was inspired to give Podman a try on macOS.</p>

<div class='container entry-content'>
|
||||
<p>It has been a while since I’ve actively used Kubernetes and wanted to explore the evolution of tools such as <a href="https://helm.sh">Helm</a> and <a href="https://tekton.dev">Tekton</a>. I decided to deploy <a href="https://k3s.io">K3s</a>, since I’ve had success with deploying it on resource-contrained Raspberry Pis in the past. I thought that this time it’d be convenient to have K3s running in a LXC container on Proxmox. This would allow for easy snapshotting of the entire Kubernetes deployment. LXC containers also provide an efficient way to use a machine’s resources.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="what-is-k3s">What is K3s?</h2>
|
||||
<p>K3s is a Kubernetes distro that advertises itself as a lightweight binary with a much smaller memory-footprint than traditional k8s. K3s is not a fork of k8s as it seeks to remain as close to upstream as it possibly can.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="configure-proxmox">Configure Proxmox</h2>
|
||||
<p>This <a href="https://gist.github.com/triangletodd/02f595cd4c0dc9aac5f7763ca2264185">gist</a> contains snippets and discussion on how to deploy K3s in LXC on Proxmox. It mentions that <code>bridge-nf-call-iptables</code> should be loaded, but I did not understand the benefit of doing this.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="disable-swap">Disable swap</h2>
|
||||
<p>There is an issue on Kubernetes regarding swap <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/53533">here</a>. There claims to be support for swap in 1.22, but for now let’s disable it:</p>
|
||||
<pre tabindex="0"><code>sysctl vm.swappiness=0
|
||||
swapoff -a
|
||||
</code></pre><p>It might be worth experimenting with swap enabled in the future to see how that might affect performance.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="enable-ip-forwarding">Enable IP Forwarding</h3>
|
||||
<p>To avoid IP Forwarding issues with Traefik, run the following on the host:</p>
|
||||
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f0f3f3;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh">sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward<span style="color:#555">=</span><span style="color:#f60">1</span>
|
||||
sudo sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding<span style="color:#555">=</span><span style="color:#f60">1</span>
|
||||
sudo sed -i <span style="color:#c30">'s/#net.ipv4.ip_forward=1/net.ipv4.ip_forward=1/g'</span> /etc/sysctl.conf
|
||||
sudo sed -i <span style="color:#c30">'s/#net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1/net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1/g'</span> /etc/sysctl.conf
|
||||
</code></pre></div><h2 id="create-lxc-container">Create LXC container</h2>
|
||||
<p>Create an LXC container in the Proxmox interface as you normally would. Remember to:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Uncheck <code>unprivileged container</code></li>
|
||||
<li>Use a LXC template (I chose a debian 11 template downloaded with <a href="https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Linux_Container#Create_container">pveam</a>)</li>
|
||||
<li>In memory, set swap to 0</li>
|
||||
<li>Create and start the container</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h3 id="modify-container-config">Modify container config</h3>
|
||||
<p>Now back on the host run <code>pct list</code> to determine what VMID it was given.</p>
|
||||
<p>Open <code>/etc/pve/lxc/$VMID.conf</code> and append:</p>
|
||||
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f0f3f3;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh">lxc.apparmor.profile: unconfined
|
||||
lxc.cap.drop:
|
||||
lxc.mount.auto: <span style="color:#c30">"proc:rw sys:rw"</span>
|
||||
lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 10:200 rwm
|
||||
</code></pre></div><p>All of the above configurations are described in the <a href="https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/manpages/man5/lxc.container.conf.5.html">manpages</a>.
|
||||
Notice that <code>cgroup2</code> is used since Proxmox VE 7.0 has switched to a <a href="https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pct.html#pct_cgroup">pure cgroupv2 environment</a>.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thankfully cgroup v2 support has been supported in k3s with these contributions:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><a href="https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/pull/2584">https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/pull/2584</a></li>
|
||||
<li><a href="https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/pull/2844">https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/pull/2844</a></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h2 id="enable-shared-host-mounts">Enable shared host mounts</h2>
|
||||
<p>From within the container, run:</p>
|
||||
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f0f3f3;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh"><span style="color:#366">echo</span> <span style="color:#c30">'#!/bin/sh -e
|
||||
</span><span style="color:#c30">ln -s /dev/console /dev/kmsg
|
||||
</span><span style="color:#c30">mount --make-rshared /'</span> > /etc/rc.local
|
||||
chmod +x /etc/rc.local
|
||||
reboot
|
||||
</code></pre></div><h2 id="install-k3s">Install K3s</h2>
|
||||
<p>One of the simplest ways to install K3s on a remote host is to use <a href="https://github.com/alexellis/k3sup">k3sup</a>.
|
||||
Ensure that you supply a valid <code>CONTAINER_IP</code> and choose the <code>k3s-version</code> you prefer.
|
||||
As of 2021/11, it is still defaulting to the 1.19 channel, so I overrode it to 1.22 for cgroup v2 support. See the published releases <a href="https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/releases">here</a>.</p>
|
||||
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f0f3f3;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh">ssh-copy-id root@<span style="color:#033">$CONTAINER_IP</span>
|
||||
k3sup install --ip <span style="color:#033">$CONTAINER_IP</span> --user root --k3s-version v1.22.3+k3s1
|
||||
</code></pre></div><p>If all goes well, you should see a path to the <code>kubeconfig</code> generated. I moved this into <code>~/.kube/config</code> so that kubectl would read this by default.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="wrapping-up">Wrapping up</h2>
|
||||
<p>Installing K3s in LXC on Proxmox works with a few tweaks to the default configuration. I later followed the Tekton’s <a href="https://tekton.dev/docs/getting-started/">Getting Started</a> guide and was able to deploy it in a few commands.</p>
