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>
(from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35453792/pods-stuck-in-terminating-status)

</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=v3.23.3
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. Cilium CNI (experimental)
h3. BGP configuration
* The cilium-operator will not start without a correct configmap being present beforehand (see error message below)
* Creating the bgp config beforehand as a configmap is thus required.
The error one gets without the configmap present:
Pods are hanging with:
<pre>
cilium-bpqm6 0/1 Init:0/4 0 9s
cilium-operator-5947d94f7f-5bmh2 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 9s
</pre>
The error message in the cilium-*perator is:
<pre>
Events:
Type Reason Age From Message
---- ------ ---- ---- -------

Warning FailedMount 16s (x8 over 80s) kubelet MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume "bgp-config-path" : configmap "bgp-config" not found
</pre>
A correct bgp config looks like this:
<pre>
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: bgp-config
namespace: kube-system

</pre>
h3. Installation
Adding the repo
<pre>
helm repo add cilium https://helm.cilium.io/
helm repo update
</pre>
Installing + configuring cilium
<pre>
version=1.12.1
ipv6pool=2a0a:e5c0:0:14::/96 ipv6pool=2a0a:e5c0:0:14::/64
helm upgrade --install cilium cilium/cilium --version $version \
--namespace kube-system \
--set ipv4.enabled=false \
--set ipv6.enabled=true \
--set ipam.operator.clusterPoolIPv6PodCIDRList=$ipv6pool \
--set bgp.enabled=true --set bgp.announce.podCIDR=true \
--set bgpControlPlane.enabled=true
# Show possible configuration options
helm show values cilium/cilium
</pre>
Using a /64 for ipam.operator.clusterPoolIPv6PodCIDRList fails with:
<pre>
level=fatal msg="Unable to init cluster-pool allocator" error="unable to initialize IPv6 allocator New CIDR set failed; the node CIDR size is too big" subsys=cilium-operator-generic
</pre>
Switching to a /96 works.
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>
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
