End-to-End Kubernetes with Rancher, RKE2, K3s, Fleet, Longhorn, and NeuVector

Installing and Configuring K3s

The next step is to install K3s on the workspace server.

# SSH into the workspace server
ssh root@$WORKSPACE_PUBLIC_IP

# Install K3s
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | \
    INSTALL_K3S_VERSION="v1.33.5+k3s1" sh -s - \
    server \
    --write-kubeconfig-mode '0644'

K3s should be installed and running. A kubeconfig file should be created at /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml. We will copy this file to the local machine so that we can use it to interact with the cluster.

# Create the kubeconfig directory
