`k3d` is a lightweight wrapper to run [`k3s`](https://github.com/rancher/k3s) (Rancher Labs minimal Kubernetes distribution) in docker.
`k3d` makes it very easy to create single- and multi-node `k3s` clusters in docker, e.g. for local development on Kubernetes.
## Prerequisites
- To use `k3d`, you will also need to [install docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/).
- Install the latest version of [`k3d`](https://k3d.io/v5.4.7/#installation).
- To interact with the Kubernetes cluster [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/#kubectl)
- (Optional) [Helm](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/) is the package manager for Kubernetes
## Installation
1. Create a cluster and disable `Traefik` with the following command:
{{< text bash >}}
$ k3d cluster create --api-port 6550 -p "9080:80@loadbalancer" -p "9443:443@loadbalancer" --agents 2 --k3s-arg '--disable=traefik@server:*'
{{< /text >}}
1. To see the list of `k3d` clusters, use the following command:
{{< text bash >}}
$ k3d cluster list
k3s-default
{{< /text >}}
1. To list the local Kubernetes contexts, use the following command.
{{< text bash >}}
$ kubectl config get-contexts
CURRENT NAME CLUSTER AUTHINFO NAMESPACE
* k3d-k3s-default k3d-k3s-default k3d-k3s-default
{{< /text >}}
{{< tip >}}
`k3d-` is prefixed to the context and cluster names, for example: `k3d-k3s-default`
{{< /tip >}}
1. If you run multiple clusters, you need to choose which cluster `kubectl` talks to. You can set a default cluster
for `kubectl` by setting the current context in the [Kubernetes kubeconfig](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/organize-cluster-access-kubeconfig/) file. Additionally you can run following command
to set the current context for `kubectl`.
{{< text bash >}}
$ kubectl config use-context k3d-k3s-default
Switched to context "k3d-k3s-default".
{{< /text >}}
## Set up Istio for `k3d`
1. Once you are done setting up a `k3d` cluster, you can proceed to [install Istio with Helm 3](/docs/setup/install/helm/) on it.
{{< text bash >}}
$ kubectl create namespace istio-system
$ helm install istio-base istio/base -n istio-system --wait
$ helm install istiod istio/istiod -n istio-system --wait
{{< /text >}}
1. (Optional) Install an ingress gateway:
{{< text bash >}}
$ kubectl label namespace istio-system istio-injection=enabled
$ helm install istio-ingressgateway istio/gateway -n istio-system --wait
{{< /text >}}
## Set up Dashboard UI for `k3d`
`k3d` does not have a built in Dashboard UI like minikube. But you can still set up Dashboard, a web based Kubernetes UI, to view your cluster.
Follow these instructions to set up Dashboard for `k3d`.
1. To deploy Dashboard, run the following command:
{{< text bash >}}
$ GITHUB_URL=https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/releases
$ VERSION_KUBE_DASHBOARD=$(curl -w '%{url_effective}' -I -L -s -S ${GITHUB_URL}/latest -o /dev/null | sed -e 's|.*/||')
$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/${VERSION_KUBE_DASHBOARD}/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml
{{< /text >}}
1. Verify that Dashboard is deployed and running.
{{< text bash >}}
$ kubectl get pod -n kubernetes-dashboard
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
dashboard-metrics-scraper-8c47d4b5d-dd2ks 1/1 Running 0 25s
kubernetes-dashboard-67bd8fc546-4xfmm 1/1 Running 0 25s
{{< /text >}}
1. Create a `ServiceAccount` and `ClusterRoleBinding` to provide admin access to the newly created cluster.
{{< text bash >}}
$ kubectl create serviceaccount -n kubernetes-dashboard admin-user
$ kubectl create clusterrolebinding -n kubernetes-dashboard admin-user --clusterrole cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kubernetes-dashboard:admin-user
{{< /text >}}
1. To log in to your Dashboard, you need a Bearer Token. Use the following command to store the token in a variable.
{{< text bash >}}
$ token=$(kubectl -n kubernetes-dashboard create token admin-user)
{{< /text >}}
Display the token using the `echo` command and copy it to use for logging in to your Dashboard.
{{< text bash >}}
$ echo $token
{{< /text >}}
1. You can access your Dashboard using the kubectl command-line tool by running the following command:
{{< text bash >}}
$ kubectl proxy
Starting to serve on 127.0.0.1:8001
{{< /text >}}
Click [Kubernetes Dashboard](http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/) to
view your deployments and services.
{{< warning >}}
You have to save your token somewhere, otherwise you have to run step number 4 everytime you need a token to log in to your Dashboard.
{{< /warning >}}
## Uninstall
1. When you are done experimenting and you want to delete the existing cluster, use the following command:
{{< text bash >}}
$ k3d cluster delete k3s-default
Deleting cluster "k3s-default" ...
{{< /text >}}
