Keadm is used to install the cloud and edge components of kubeedge. It is not responsible for installing K8s and runtime, so users must install a k8s master on cloud and runtime on edge first. Or use an existing cluster.
Please refer kubernetes-compatibility to get Kubernetes compatibility and determine what version of Kubernetes would be installed.
Kubeedge interacts with the standard K8s API, so the K8s cluster can be installed with any tools, such as:
- Creating kubernetes cluster with kubeadm
- Creating kubernetes cluster with minikube
- Creating kubernetes cluster with kind
- Currently support of
keadm
is available for Ubuntu and CentOS OS. RaspberryPi supports is in-progress.
There are currently two ways to get keadm
-
Download from KubeEdge Release
- Go to KubeEdge Release page and download
keadm-$VERSION-$OS-$ARCH.tar.gz.
. - Untar it at desired location, by executing
tar -xvzf keadm-$VERSION-$OS-$ARCH.tar.gz
. - kubeedge folder is created after execution the command.
- Go to KubeEdge Release page and download
-
Building from source
-
Download the source code.
git clone https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge make all WHAT=keadm
or
go get github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/keadm/cmd/keadm
-
If you used
go get
, thekeadm
binary is available in$GOPATH/bin/
If you compiled from source, the
keadm
binary is in$GOPATH/src/github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/_output/local/bin/
-
By default port '10000' in your cloudcore needs to be accessible for your edge nodes.
keadm init
will install cloudcore, generate the certs and install the CRDs. It also provide flag by which specific versions can be set.
-
Execute
keadm init
: keadm needs super user rights (or root rights) to run successfully.Command flags The optional flags with this command are mentioned below
"keadm init" command install KubeEdge's master node (on the cloud) component. It checks if the Kubernetes Master are installed already, If not installed, please install the Kubernetes first. Usage: keadm init [flags] Examples: keadm init - This command will download and install the default version of KubeEdge cloud component keadm init --kubeedge-version=1.2.0 --kube-config=/root/.kube/config - kube-config is the absolute path of kubeconfig which used to secure connectivity between cloudcore and kube-apiserver Flags: -h, --help help for init --kube-config string Use this key to set kube-config path, eg: $HOME/.kube/config (default "/root/.kube/config") --kubeedge-version string[="1.2.0"] Use this key to download and use the required KubeEdge version (default "1.2.0") --master string Use this key to set K8s master address, eg: http://127.0.0.1:8080
IMPORTANT NOTE: At least one of kubeconfig or master must be configured correctly, so that it can be used to verify the version and other info of the k8s cluster.
Examples:
keadm init
Sample execution output:
Kubernetes version verification passed, KubeEdge installation will start...
...
KubeEdge cloudcore is running, For logs visit: /var/log/kubeedge/cloudcore.log
Now users still need to copy the certs to the edge nodes. In the future, it will support the use of tokens for authentication.
On edge host
mkdir -p /etc/kubeedge
On cloud host
cd /etc/kubeedge/
scp -r certs.tgz username@ipEdgevm:/etc/kubeedge
On edge host untar the certs.tgz file
cd /etc/kubeedge
tar -xvzf certs.tgz
keadm join
will install edgecore and mqtt. It also provide flag by which specific versions can be set.
Execute keadm join <flags>
Command flags
The optional flags with this command are shown in below shell
"keadm join" command bootstraps KubeEdge's worker node (at the edge) component.
It will also connect with cloud component to receive
further instructions and forward telemetry data from
devices to cloud
Usage:
keadm join [flags]
Examples:
keadm join --cloudcore-ipport=<ip:port address> --edgenode-name=<unique string as edge identifier>
- For this command --cloudcore-ipport flag is a required option
- This command will download and install the default version of pre-requisites and KubeEdge
keadm join --cloudcore-ipport=10.20.30.40:10000 --edgenode-name=testing123 --kubeedge-version=1.2.0
Flags:
--certPath string The certPath used by edgecore, the default value is /etc/kubeedge/certs (default "/etc/kubeedge/certs")
-e, --cloudcore-ipport string IP:Port address of KubeEdge CloudCore
-i, --edgenode-name string KubeEdge Node unique identification string, If flag not used then the command will generate a unique id on its own
-h, --help help for join
--interfacename string KubeEdge Node interface name string, the default value is eth0
--kubeedge-version string[="1.2.0"] Use this key to download and use the required KubeEdge version (default "1.2.0")
-r, --runtimetype string Container runtime type
IMPORTANT NOTE:
- For this command --cloudcore-ipport flag is a Mandatory flag
- The KubeEdge version used in cloud and edge side should be same.
Examples:
keadm join --cloudcore-ipport=192.168.20.50:10000
Sample execution output:
Host has mosquit+ already installed and running. Hence skipping the installation steps !!!
...
KubeEdge edgecore is running, For logs visit: /var/log/kubeedge/edgecore.log
keadm reset
will stop KubeEdge components. It doesn't uninstall/remove any of the pre-requisites.
Execute keadm reset
Command flags
keadm reset --help
keadm reset command can be executed in both cloud and edge node
In cloud node it shuts down the cloud processes of KubeEdge
In edge node it shuts down the edge processes of KubeEdge
Usage:
keadm reset [flags]
Examples:
For cloud node:
keadm reset
For edge node:
keadm reset
Flags:
-h, --help help for reset
