Im trying to set up a local cluster using VM and minikube, as Id been reading its only possible to use it for local purposes, but id like to join a secondary machine, and im searching a way to create the join and hash.
You can easily do it in case your minikube machine is using VirtualBox.
Start the minikube:
$ minikube start --vm-driver="virtualbox"Check the versions of kubeadm, kubelet and kubectl in minikube and print join command:
$ kubectl version
$ minikube ssh
$ kubelet --version
$ kubeadm token create --print-join-commandCreate a new VM in VirtualBox. I've used Vagrant to create Ubuntu 16lts VM for this test. Check that the minikube and the new VM are in the same host-only VM network. You can use anything that suits you best, but the packages installation procedure would be different for different Linux distributions.
(On the new VM.) Add repository with Kubernetes:
$ curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | apt-key add -
$ cat <<EOF >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list
deb http://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main
EOF
$ apt-get update
(On the new VM.)Install the same version of kubelet kubeadm and other tools on the new VM (1.10.0 in my case)
$ apt-get -y install ebtables ethtool docker.io apt-transport-https kubelet=1.10.0-00 kubeadm=1.10.0-00(On the new VM.)Use your join command from the step 2. IP address should be from the VM Host-Only-Network. Only having Nat networks didn't work well in my case.
$ kubeadm join 192.168.xx.yy:8443 --token asdfasf.laskjflakflsfla --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:shfkjshkfjhskjfskjdfhksfh...shdfk(On the main host) Add network solution to the cluster:
$ kubectl apply -f https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.0/getting-started/kubernetes/installation/hosted/kubeadm/1.7/calico.yaml(On the main host) Check your nodes and pods using kubectl:
$ kubectl get nodes:
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
minikube Ready master 1h v1.10.0
ubuntu-xenial Ready <none> 36m v1.10.0
$ kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o wide
