Documentation for version: latest
Flotta can run on top of any Kubernetes distributions, for testing and development you can follow this guide to get started running flotta on your devices.
Let’s start Kind kubernetes cluster
$ -> cat <<EOF >>config.yaml
---
kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
nodes:
- role: control-plane
extraPortMappings:
- containerPort: 443
hostPort: 8043
protocol: TCP
EOF
$ -> kind create cluster --config config.yaml
Creating cluster "kind" ...
✓ Ensuring node image (kindest/node:v1.21.1) 🖼
✓ Preparing nodes 📦
✓ Writing configuration 📜
✓ Starting control-plane 🕹️
✓ Installing CNI 🔌
✓ Installing StorageClass 💾
Set kubectl context to "kind-kind"
You can now use your cluster with:
kubectl cluster-info --context kind-kind
Check Kind cluster status:
$ -> kubectl cluster-info --context kind-kind
Kubernetes control plane is running at https://127.0.0.1:39435
CoreDNS is running at https://127.0.0.1:39435/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy
To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.
Flotta operator has a few tools that helps to install flotta, for that, let’s clone it:
git clone https://github.com/project-flotta/flotta-operator -b main --depth 1
cd flotta-operator
First, we need to install Openshift-router, the ingress that it’s supported now:
$ -> make install-router
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/router/master/deploy/router_rbac.yaml
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/openshift-ingress-router created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/openshift-ingress-router created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/openshift-ingress-router-auth-delegator created
namespace/openshift-ingress created
serviceaccount/ingress-router created
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/router/master/deploy/route_crd.yaml
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/routes.route.openshift.io created
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/router/master/deploy/router.yaml
deployment.apps/ingress-router created
kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready pods --all -n openshift-ingress --timeout=60s
pod/ingress-router-5b9b477c98-gx5pl condition met
Now let’s install Flotta on the cluster:
$ -> make deploy IMG=quay.io/project-flotta/flotta-operator:latest HTTP_IMG=quay.io/project-flotta/flotta-edge-api:latest TARGET=k8s
A bunch of CRDs are now created, where the definitions can be found here:
$ -> kubectl api-resources | grep flotta
edgeconfigs management.project-flotta.io/v1alpha1 true EdgeConfig
edgedevices management.project-flotta.io/v1alpha1 true EdgeDevice
edgedevicesets management.project-flotta.io/v1alpha1 true EdgeDeviceSet
edgedevicesignedrequest edsr management.project-flotta.io/v1alpha1 true EdgeDeviceSignedRequest
edgeworkloads management.project-flotta.io/v1alpha1 true EdgeWorkload
playbookexecutions management.project-flotta.io/v1alpha1 true PlaybookExecution
At the same time, in the flotta namespace the operator and the edge-api pods should be running:
$ -> kubectl -n flotta get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
pod/flotta-controller-manager-7fd45874c6-wxxfv 2/2 Running 0 3d17h
pod/flotta-edge-api-8649fbb9dc-bt4r9 2/2 Running 0 3d17h
Flotta is now running and ready to register edgedevices. To register a
edgedevice we need first to retrieve the install scripts using the Makefile
target agent-install-scripts.
$ -> make agent-install-scripts
Now, two scripts are created:
On the device, with Fedora already installed, we need to execute the following:
$ sudo hack/install-agent-dnf.sh -i 192.168.2.10
Where 192.168.2.10 is your host ip.
After a while, if you list the devices in your cluster, you can see that the edgedevice is already registered:
---> kubectl get edgedevices
NAME AGE
camera-ny 118s
From here, you should be able to deploy workloads to these devices. As explained here
