h2. General architecture and components overview

* All k8s clusters are IPv6 only

* We use BGP peering to propagate podcidr and serviceCidr networks to our infrastructure

* The main public testing repository is "ungleich-k8s":https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/ungleich-k8s

** Private configurations are found in the **k8s-config** repository

h3. Cluster types

| **Type/Feature**            | **Development**                | **Production**         |

| Min No. nodes               | 3 (1 master, 3 worker)         | 5 (3 master, 3 worker) |

| Recommended minimum         | 4 (dedicated master, 3 worker) | 8 (3 master, 5 worker) |

| Separation of control plane | optional                       | recommended            |

| Persistent storage          | required                       | required               |

| Number of storage monitors  | 3                              | 5                      |

h2. General k8s operations

h3. Cheat sheet / external great references

* "kubectl cheatsheet":https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/cheatsheet/

h3. Allowing to schedule work on the control plane / removing node taints

* Mostly for single node / test / development clusters

* Just remove the master taint as follows

<pre>

kubectl taint nodes --all node-role.kubernetes.io/master-

kubectl taint nodes --all node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane-

</pre>

You can check the node taints using @kubectl describe node ...@

h3. Get the cluster admin.conf

* On the masters of each cluster you can find the file @/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf@

* To be able to administrate the cluster you can copy the admin.conf to your local machine

* Multi cluster debugging can very easy if you name the config ~/cX-admin.conf (see example below)

<pre>

% scp root@server47.place7.ungleich.ch:/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf ~/c2-admin.conf

% export KUBECONFIG=~/c2-admin.conf    

% kubectl get nodes

</pre>

h3. Installing a new k8s cluster

* Decide on the cluster name (usually *cX.k8s.ooo*), X counting upwards

** Using pXX.k8s.ooo for production clusters of placeXX

* Use cdist to configure the nodes with requirements like crio

* Decide between single or multi node control plane setups (see below)

** Single control plane suitable for development clusters

Typical init procedure:

* Single control plane: @kubeadm init --config bootstrap/XXX/kubeadm.yaml@

* Multi control plane (HA): @kubeadm init --config bootstrap/XXX/kubeadm.yaml --upload-certs@

h3. Deleting a pod that is hanging in terminating state

<pre>

kubectl delete pod <PODNAME> --grace-period=0 --force --namespace <NAMESPACE>

</pre>

h3. Listing nodes of a cluster

<pre>

h3. Removing / draining a node

Usually @kubectl drain server@ should do the job, but sometimes we need to be more aggressive:

<pre>

kubectl drain --delete-emptydir-data --ignore-daemonsets serverXX

</pre>

h3. Readding a node after draining

<pre>

kubectl uncordon serverXX

</pre>

h3. (Re-)joining worker nodes after creating the cluster

* We need to have an up-to-date token

* We use different join commands for the workers and control plane nodes

Generating the join command on an existing control plane node:

<pre>

kubeadm token create --print-join-command

</pre>

h3. (Re-)joining control plane nodes after creating the cluster

* We generate the token again

* We upload the certificates

* We need to combine/create the join command for the control plane node

Example session:

<pre>

% kubeadm token create --print-join-command

kubeadm join p10-api.k8s.ooo:6443 --token xmff4i.ABC --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:longhash 

% kubeadm init phase upload-certs --upload-certs

[upload-certs] Storing the certificates in Secret "kubeadm-certs" in the "kube-system" Namespace

[upload-certs] Using certificate key:

CERTKEY

# Then we use these two outputs on the joining node:

kubeadm join p10-api.k8s.ooo:6443 --token xmff4i.ABC --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:longhash --control-plane --certificate-key CERTKEY

</pre>

Commands to be used on a control plane node:

<pre>

kubeadm token create --print-join-command

kubeadm init phase upload-certs --upload-certs

</pre>

Commands to be used on the joining node:

<pre>

JOINCOMMAND --control-plane --certificate-key CERTKEY

</pre>

h3. How to fix etcd does not start when rejoining a kubernetes cluster as a control plane

If during the above step etcd does not come up, @kubeadm join@ can hang as follows:

<pre>

[control-plane] Creating static Pod manifest for "kube-apiserver"                                                              

[control-plane] Creating static Pod manifest for "kube-controller-manager"                                                     

[control-plane] Creating static Pod manifest for "kube-scheduler"                                                              

[check-etcd] Checking that the etcd cluster is healthy                                                                         

error execution phase check-etcd: etcd cluster is not healthy: failed to dial endpoint https://[2a0a:e5c0:10:1:225:b3ff:fe20:37

8a]:2379 with maintenance client: context deadline exceeded                                                                    

To see the stack trace of this error execute with --v=5 or higher         

</pre>

Then the problem is likely that the etcd server is still a member of the cluster. We first need to remove it from the etcd cluster and then the join works.

To fix this we do:

* Find a working etcd pod

* Find the etcd members / member list

* Remove the etcd member that we want to re-join the cluster

<pre>

# Find the etcd pods

kubectl -n kube-system get pods -l component=etcd,tier=control-plane

# Get the list of etcd servers with the member id 

kubectl exec -n kube-system -ti ETCDPODNAME -- etcdctl --endpoints '[::1]:2379' --cacert /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/ca.crt --cert  /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.crt --key /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.key member list

# Remove the member

kubectl exec -n kube-system -ti ETCDPODNAME -- etcdctl --endpoints '[::1]:2379' --cacert /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/ca.crt --cert  /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.crt --key /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.key member remove MEMBERID

</pre>

Sample session:

<pre>

h3. Hardware Maintenance using ungleich-hardware

Use the following manifest and replace the HOST with the actual host:

<pre>

apiVersion: v1

kind: Pod

metadata:

  name: ungleich-hardware-HOST

spec:

  containers:

  - name: ungleich-hardware

    image: ungleich/ungleich-hardware:0.0.5

    args:

    - sleep

    - "1000000"

    volumeMounts:

      - mountPath: /dev

        name: dev

    securityContext:

      privileged: true

  nodeSelector:

    kubernetes.io/hostname: "HOST"

  volumes:

    - name: dev

      hostPath:

        path: /dev

</pre>

Also see: [[The_ungleich_hardware_maintenance_guide]]

h3. Triggering a cronjob / creating a job from a cronjob

To test a cronjob, we can create a job from a cronjob:

<pre>

kubectl create job --from=cronjob/volume2-daily-backup volume2-manual

</pre>

This creates a job volume2-manual based on the cronjob  volume2-daily

h3. su-ing into a user that has nologin shell set

Many times users are having nologin as their shell inside the container. To be able to execute maintenance commands within the

container, we can use @su -s /bin/sh@ like this:

<pre>

su -s /bin/sh -c '/path/to/your/script' testuser

</pre>

Found on https://serverfault.com/questions/351046/how-to-run-command-as-user-who-has-usr-sbin-nologin-as-shell

h3. How to print a secret value

Assuming you want the "password" item from a secret, use:

<pre>

kubectl get secret SECRETNAME -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d; echo "" 

</pre>

h2. Calico CNI

h3. Calico Installation

* We install "calico using helm":https://docs.projectcalico.org/getting-started/kubernetes/helm

* This has the following advantages:

** Easy to upgrade

** Does not require os to configure IPv6/dual stack settings as the tigera operator figures out things on its own

Usually plain calico can be installed directly using:

<pre>

VERSION=v3.24.0

helm repo add projectcalico https://docs.projectcalico.org/charts

helm upgrade --install --namespace tigera calico projectcalico/tigera-operator --version $VERSION --create-namespace

</pre>

* Check the tags on https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/tags for the latest release

h3. Installing calicoctl

* General installation instructions, including binary download: https://projectcalico.docs.tigera.io/maintenance/clis/calicoctl/install

To be able to manage and configure calico, we need to 

"install calicoctl (we choose the version as a pod)":https://docs.projectcalico.org/getting-started/clis/calicoctl/install#install-calicoctl-as-a-kubernetes-pod

<pre>

kubectl apply -f https://docs.projectcalico.org/manifests/calicoctl.yaml

</pre>

Or version specific:

<pre>

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/blob/v3.20.4/manifests/calicoctl.yaml

# For 3.22

kubectl apply -f https://projectcalico.docs.tigera.io/archive/v3.22/manifests/calicoctl.yaml

</pre>

And making it easier accessible by alias:

<pre>

alias calicoctl="kubectl exec -i -n kube-system calicoctl -- /calicoctl"

</pre>

h3. Calico configuration

By default our k8s clusters "BGP peer":https://docs.projectcalico.org/networking/bgp

with an upstream router to propagate podcidr and servicecidr.

Default settings in our infrastructure:

* We use a full-mesh using the @nodeToNodeMeshEnabled: true@ option

* We keep the original next hop so that *only* the server with the pod is announcing it (instead of ecmp)

* We use private ASNs for k8s clusters

* We do *not* use any overlay

After installing calico and calicoctl the last step of the installation is usually:

<pre>

calicoctl create -f - < calico-bgp.yaml

</pre>

A sample BGP configuration:

<pre>

---

apiVersion: projectcalico.org/v3

kind: BGPConfiguration

metadata:

  name: default

spec:

  logSeverityScreen: Info

  nodeToNodeMeshEnabled: true

  asNumber: 65534

  serviceClusterIPs:

  - cidr: 2a0a:e5c0:10:3::/108

  serviceExternalIPs:

  - cidr: 2a0a:e5c0:10:3::/108

---

apiVersion: projectcalico.org/v3

kind: BGPPeer

metadata:

  name: router1-place10

spec:

  peerIP: 2a0a:e5c0:10:1::50

  asNumber: 213081

  keepOriginalNextHop: true

</pre>

h2. ArgoCD 

h3. Argocd Installation

* See https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

As there is no configuration management present yet, argocd is installed using

<pre>

kubectl create namespace argocd

# Specific Version

kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2.3.2/manifests/install.yaml

# OR: latest stable

kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml

</pre>

h3. Get the argocd credentials

<pre>

kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d; echo ""

</pre>

h3. Accessing argocd

In regular IPv6 clusters:

* Navigate to https://argocd-server.argocd.CLUSTERDOMAIN

In legacy IPv4 clusters

<pre>

kubectl --namespace argocd port-forward svc/argocd-server 8080:80

</pre>

* Navigate to https://localhost:8080

h3. Using the argocd webhook to trigger changes

* To trigger changes post json https://argocd.example.com/api/webhook

h3. Deploying an application

* Applications are deployed via git towards gitea (code.ungleich.ch) and then pulled by argo

* Always include the *redmine-url* pointing to the (customer) ticket

** Also add the support-url if it exists

Application sample

<pre>

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1

kind: Application

metadata:

  name: gitea-CUSTOMER

  namespace: argocd

h2. Helm related operations and conventions

We use helm charts extensively.

* In production, they are managed via argocd

* In development, helm chart can de developed and deployed manually using the helm utility.

h3. Installing a helm chart

One can use the usual pattern of

<pre>

helm install <releasename> <chartdirectory>

</pre>

However often you want to reinstall/update when testing helm charts. The following pattern is "better", because it allows you to reinstall, if it is already installed:

<pre>

helm upgrade --install <releasename> <chartdirectory>

</pre>

h3. Naming services and deployments in helm charts [Application labels]

* We always have {{ .Release.Name }} to identify the current "instance"

* Deployments:

** use @app: <what it is>@, f.i. @app: nginx@, @app: postgres@, ...

* See more about standard labels on

** https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/common-labels/

** https://helm.sh/docs/chart_best_practices/labels/

h2. Rook / Ceph Related Operations

h3. Executing ceph commands

Using the ceph-tools pod as follows:

<pre>

kubectl exec -n rook-ceph -ti $(kubectl -n rook-ceph get pods -l app=rook-ceph-tools -o jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.name}') -- ceph -s

</pre>

h3. Inspecting the logs of a specific server

<pre>

# Get the related pods

kubectl -n rook-ceph get pods -l app=rook-ceph-osd-prepare 

...

# Inspect the logs of a specific pod

kubectl -n rook-ceph logs -f rook-ceph-osd-prepare-server23--1-444qx

</pre>

h3. Inspecting the logs of the rook-ceph-operator

<pre>

kubectl -n rook-ceph logs -f -l app=rook-ceph-operator

</pre>

h3. Restarting the rook operator

<pre>

kubectl -n rook-ceph delete pods  -l app=rook-ceph-operator

</pre>

h3. Triggering server prepare / adding new osds

The rook-ceph-operator triggers/watches/creates pods to maintain hosts. To trigger a full "re scan", simply delete that pod:

<pre>

kubectl -n rook-ceph delete pods -l app=rook-ceph-operator

</pre>

This will cause all the @rook-ceph-osd-prepare-..@ jobs to be recreated and thus OSDs to be created, if new disks have been added.

h3. Removing an OSD

* See "Ceph OSD Management":https://rook.io/docs/rook/v1.7/ceph-osd-mgmt.html

* More specifically: https://github.com/rook/rook/blob/release-1.7/cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph/osd-purge.yaml

* Then delete the related deployment

Set osd id in the osd-purge.yaml and apply it. OSD should be down before.

h2. Harbor

* We user "Harbor":https://goharbor.io/ for caching and as an image registry. Internal app reference: apps/prod/harbor.

* The admin password is in the password store, auto generated per cluster

* At the moment harbor only authenticates against the internal ldap tree

h3. LDAP configuration

* The url needs to be ldaps://...

* uid = uid

* rest standard

h2. Monitoring / Prometheus

* Via "kube-prometheus":https://github.com/prometheus-operator/kube-prometheus/

Access via ...

* http://prometheus-k8s.monitoring.svc:9090

* http://grafana.monitoring.svc:3000

* http://alertmanager.monitoring.svc:9093

h3. Prometheus Options

* "helm/kube-prometheus-stack":https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/kube-prometheus-stack

** Includes dashboards and co.

* "manifest based kube-prometheus":https://github.com/prometheus-operator/kube-prometheus

** Includes dashboards and co.

* "Prometheus Operator (mainly CRD manifest":https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator

h2. Nextcloud

h3. How to get the nextcloud credentials 

* The initial username is set to "nextcloud"

* The password is autogenerated and saved in a kubernetes secret

<pre>

kubectl get secret RELEASENAME-nextcloud -o jsonpath="{.data.PASSWORD}" | base64 -d; echo "" 

</pre>

h3. How to fix "Access through untrusted domain"

* Nextcloud stores the initial domain configuration

* If the FQDN is changed, it will show the error message "Access through untrusted domain"

* To fix, edit /var/www/html/config/config.php and correct the domain

* Then delete the pods

h2. Infrastructure versions

h3. ungleich kubernetes infrastructure v5 (2021-10)

Clusters are configured / setup in this order:

* Bootstrap via kubeadm

* "Networking via calico + BGP (non ECMP) using helm":https://docs.projectcalico.org/getting-started/kubernetes/helm

* "ArgoCD for CD":https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

** "rook for storage via argocd":https://rook.io/

** haproxy for in IPv6-cluster-IPv4-to-IPv6 proxy via argocd

** "kubernetes-secret-generator for in cluster secrets":https://github.com/mittwald/kubernetes-secret-generator

** "ungleich-certbot managing certs and nginx":https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/ungleich/ungleich-certbot

h3. ungleich kubernetes infrastructure v4 (2021-09)

* rook is configured via manifests instead of using the rook-ceph-cluster helm chart

* The rook operator is still being installed via helm

h3. ungleich kubernetes infrastructure v3 (2021-07)

* rook is now installed via helm via argocd instead of directly via manifests

h3. ungleich kubernetes infrastructure v2 (2021-05)

* Replaced fluxv2 from ungleich k8s v1 with argocd

** argocd can apply helm templates directly without needing to go through Chart releases

* We are also using argoflow for build flows

* Planned to add "kaniko":https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko for image building

h3. ungleich kubernetes infrastructure v1 (2021-01)

We are using the following components:

* "Calico as a CNI":https://www.projectcalico.org/ with BGP, IPv6 only, no encapsulation

** Needed for basic networking

* "kubernetes-secret-generator":https://github.com/mittwald/kubernetes-secret-generator for creating secrets

** Needed so that secrets are not stored in the git repository, but only in the cluster

* "ungleich-certbot":https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/ungleich/ungleich-certbot

** Needed to get letsencrypt certificates for services

* "rook with ceph rbd + cephfs":https://rook.io/ for storage

** rbd for almost everything, *ReadWriteOnce*

** cephfs for smaller things, multi access *ReadWriteMany*

** Needed for providing persistent storage

* "flux v2":https://fluxcd.io/

** Needed to manage resources automatically
