I think this is the easiest way to get a full function kubernetes cluster on your local machine. Some super dumb scripts to start and delete.
Run will start a new VM in multipass and automatically bootstrap k3s with a cloud-init.yaml.
- Customize the
cloud-init.yamlto make it your own. - The run script will grab the IP address of the VM and put it in your
/etc/hostsfile so you can reach it ask3sork3s.multipass. - Finally grab the default kubeconfig file out of the vm and save it in your local directory.
./run.sh
Launched: k3s
Checking /etc/hosts for k3s entries
No k3s.multipass line found - making one

Wire up the kubeconfig file and try it out.
export KUBECONFIG=$(pwd)/k3s.yaml
kubectl get nodes
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
k3s Ready control-plane,master 17m v1.25.6+k3s1
To delete the vm run:
./delete.sh
