h2. General architecture and components overview
31
32
* All k8s clusters are IPv6 only
33
* We use BGP peering to propagate podcidr and serviceCidr networks to our infrastructure
34
* The main public testing repository is "ungleich-k8s":https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/ungleich-k8s
35 18 Nico Schottelius
** Private configurations are found in the **k8s-config** repository

| Min No. nodes               | 3 (1 master, 3 worker)         | 5 (3 master, 3 worker) |
41
| Recommended minimum         | 4 (dedicated master, 3 worker) | 8 (3 master, 5 worker) |

h3. Allowing to schedule work on the control plane / removing node taints
53 69 Nico Schottelius
54
* Mostly for single node / test / development clusters
55
* Just remove the master taint as follows
56
57
<pre>
58
kubectl taint nodes --all node-role.kubernetes.io/master-
59 118 Nico Schottelius
kubectl taint nodes --all node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane-
60 69 Nico Schottelius
</pre>
61 1 Nico Schottelius
62 117 Nico Schottelius
You can check the node taints using @kubectl describe node ...@
63 69 Nico Schottelius
64 44 Nico Schottelius
h3. Get the cluster admin.conf
65
66
* On the masters of each cluster you can find the file @/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf@
67
* To be able to administrate the cluster you can copy the admin.conf to your local machine
68
* Multi cluster debugging can very easy if you name the config ~/cX-admin.conf (see example below)
69
70
<pre>
71
% scp root@server47.place7.ungleich.ch:/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf ~/c2-admin.conf
72
% export KUBECONFIG=~/c2-admin.conf

88 28 Nico Schottelius
** Using pXX.k8s.ooo for production clusters of placeXX
89 9 Nico Schottelius
* Use cdist to configure the nodes with requirements like crio

h3. How to fix etcd does not start when rejoining a kubernetes cluster as a control plane
193 52 Nico Schottelius
194
If during the above step etcd does not come up, @kubeadm join@ can hang as follows:
195
196
<pre>
197
[control-plane] Creating static Pod manifest for "kube-apiserver"                                                              
198
[control-plane] Creating static Pod manifest for "kube-controller-manager"                                                     
199
[control-plane] Creating static Pod manifest for "kube-scheduler"                                                              
200
[check-etcd] Checking that the etcd cluster is healthy                                                                         
201
error execution phase check-etcd: etcd cluster is not healthy: failed to dial endpoint https://[2a0a:e5c0:10:1:225:b3ff:fe20:37
202
8a]:2379 with maintenance client: context deadline exceeded                                                                    
203
To see the stack trace of this error execute with --v=5 or higher         
204
</pre>
205
206
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.
207
208
To fix this we do:
209
210
* Find a working etcd pod
211
* Find the etcd members / member list
212
* Remove the etcd member that we want to re-join the cluster
213
214
215
<pre>
216
# Find the etcd pods
217
kubectl -n kube-system get pods -l component=etcd,tier=control-plane
218
219
# Get the list of etcd servers with the member id 
220
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
221
222
# Remove the member
223
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

h3. Triggering a cronjob / creating a job from a cronjob
281 104 Nico Schottelius
282
To test a cronjob, we can create a job from a cronjob:
283
284
<pre>
285
kubectl create job --from=cronjob/volume2-daily-backup volume2-manual
286
</pre>
287
288
This creates a job volume2-manual based on the cronjob  volume2-daily

h3. su-ing into a user that has nologin shell set
291
292
Many times users are having nologin as their shell inside the container. To be able to execute maintenance commands within the
293
container, we can use @su -s /bin/sh@ like this:
294
295
<pre>
296
su -s /bin/sh -c '/path/to/your/script' testuser
297

h3. How to print a secret value
302
303
Assuming you want the "password" item from a secret, use:
304
305
<pre>
306
kubectl get secret SECRETNAME -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d; echo ""

311
h3. Calico Installation
312
313
* We install "calico using helm":https://docs.projectcalico.org/getting-started/kubernetes/helm
314
* This has the following advantages:
315
** Easy to upgrade
316
** Does not require os to configure IPv6/dual stack settings as the tigera operator figures out things on its own
317
318
Usually plain calico can be installed directly using:
319
320
<pre>
321 125 Nico Schottelius
VERSION=v3.23.3
322 120 Nico Schottelius
helm repo add projectcalico https://docs.projectcalico.org/charts
323 124 Nico Schottelius
helm upgrade --install --namespace tigera calico projectcalico/tigera-operator --version $VERSION --create-namespace
324 1 Nico Schottelius
</pre>
325 92 Nico Schottelius
326
* Check the tags on https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/tags for the latest release
327 62 Nico Schottelius
328
h3. Installing calicoctl
329
330 115 Nico Schottelius
* General installation instructions, including binary download: https://projectcalico.docs.tigera.io/maintenance/clis/calicoctl/install
331
332 62 Nico Schottelius
To be able to manage and configure calico, we need to 
333
"install calicoctl (we choose the version as a pod)":https://docs.projectcalico.org/getting-started/clis/calicoctl/install#install-calicoctl-as-a-kubernetes-pod
334
335
<pre>
336
kubectl apply -f https://docs.projectcalico.org/manifests/calicoctl.yaml
337
</pre>
338
339 93 Nico Schottelius
Or version specific:
340
341
<pre>
342
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/blob/v3.20.4/manifests/calicoctl.yaml
343 97 Nico Schottelius
344
# For 3.22
345
kubectl apply -f https://projectcalico.docs.tigera.io/archive/v3.22/manifests/calicoctl.yaml
346 93 Nico Schottelius
</pre>
347
348 70 Nico Schottelius
And making it easier accessible by alias:
349
350
<pre>
351
alias calicoctl="kubectl exec -i -n kube-system calicoctl -- /calicoctl"
352
</pre>
353
354 62 Nico Schottelius
h3. Calico configuration
355
356 63 Nico Schottelius
By default our k8s clusters "BGP peer":https://docs.projectcalico.org/networking/bgp
357
with an upstream router to propagate podcidr and servicecidr.
358 62 Nico Schottelius
359
Default settings in our infrastructure:
360
361
* We use a full-mesh using the @nodeToNodeMeshEnabled: true@ option
362
* We keep the original next hop so that *only* the server with the pod is announcing it (instead of ecmp)
363 1 Nico Schottelius
* We use private ASNs for k8s clusters
364 63 Nico Schottelius
* We do *not* use any overlay
365 62 Nico Schottelius
366
After installing calico and calicoctl the last step of the installation is usually:
367
368 1 Nico Schottelius
<pre>
369 79 Nico Schottelius
calicoctl create -f - < calico-bgp.yaml
370 62 Nico Schottelius

h2. Helm related operations and conventions
501 55 Nico Schottelius
502 61 Nico Schottelius
We use helm charts extensively.
503
504
* In production, they are managed via argocd
505
* In development, helm chart can de developed and deployed manually using the helm utility.
506
507 55 Nico Schottelius
h3. Installing a helm chart
508
509
One can use the usual pattern of
510
511
<pre>
512
helm install <releasename> <chartdirectory>
513
</pre>
514
515
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:
516
517
<pre>
518
helm upgrade --install <releasename> <chartdirectory>
519 1 Nico Schottelius
</pre>
520 80 Nico Schottelius
521
h3. Naming services and deployments in helm charts [Application labels]
522
523
* We always have {{ .Release.Name }} to identify the current "instance"
524
* Deployments:
525
** use @app: <what it is>@, f.i. @app: nginx@, @app: postgres@, ...
526 81 Nico Schottelius
* See more about standard labels on
527
** https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/common-labels/

533
534
Using the ceph-tools pod as follows:
535
536
<pre>
537
kubectl exec -n rook-ceph -ti $(kubectl -n rook-ceph get pods -l app=rook-ceph-tools -o jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.name}') -- ceph -s

545
...
546
547
# Inspect the logs of a specific pod
548

<pre>
561
kubectl -n rook-ceph delete pods  -l app=rook-ceph-operator
562
</pre>
563
564 43 Nico Schottelius
h3. Triggering server prepare / adding new osds
565
566
The rook-ceph-operator triggers/watches/creates pods to maintain hosts. To trigger a full "re scan", simply delete that pod:
567
568
<pre>
569
kubectl -n rook-ceph delete pods -l app=rook-ceph-operator
570
</pre>
571
572
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.
573
574
h3. Removing an OSD
575
576
* See "Ceph OSD Management":https://rook.io/docs/rook/v1.7/ceph-osd-mgmt.html
577 77 Nico Schottelius
* More specifically: https://github.com/rook/rook/blob/release-1.7/cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph/osd-purge.yaml
578 99 Nico Schottelius
* Then delete the related deployment
579 41 Nico Schottelius
580 98 Nico Schottelius
Set osd id in the osd-purge.yaml and apply it. OSD should be down before.

h3. How to fix "Access through untrusted domain"
713
714 82 Nico Schottelius
* Nextcloud stores the initial domain configuration
715 1 Nico Schottelius
* If the FQDN is changed, it will show the error message "Access through untrusted domain"
716 82 Nico Schottelius
* To fix, edit /var/www/html/config/config.php and correct the domain
717 83 Nico Schottelius

We are using the following components:
753
754
* "Calico as a CNI":https://www.projectcalico.org/ with BGP, IPv6 only, no encapsulation
755
** Needed for basic networking
756
* "kubernetes-secret-generator":https://github.com/mittwald/kubernetes-secret-generator for creating secrets
757
** Needed so that secrets are not stored in the git repository, but only in the cluster
758
* "ungleich-certbot":https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/ungleich/ungleich-certbot
759
** Needed to get letsencrypt certificates for services
760
* "rook with ceph rbd + cephfs":https://rook.io/ for storage
761
** rbd for almost everything, *ReadWriteOnce*
762
** cephfs for smaller things, multi access *ReadWriteMany*
763
** Needed for providing persistent storage
764
* "flux v2":https://fluxcd.io/
765
** Needed to manage resources automatically
