## Prerequisites
To configure Kubernetes with CentOS, you'll need a machine to act as a master, and one or more CentOS 7 hosts to act as cluster nodes.
## Starting a cluster
This is a getting started guide for CentOS. It is a manual configuration so you understand all the underlying packages / services / ports, etc...
The Kubernetes package provides a few services: kube-apiserver, kube-scheduler, kube-controller-manager, kubelet, kube-proxy. These services are managed by systemd and the configuration resides in a central location: /etc/kubernetes. We will break the services up between the hosts. The first host, centos-master, will be the Kubernetes master. This host will run the kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager and kube-scheduler. In addition, the master will also run _etcd_. The remaining hosts, centos-minion-n will be the nodes and run kubelet, proxy, cadvisor and docker.
All of then run flanneld as networking overlay.
**System Information:**
Hosts:
Please replace host IP with your environment.
```conf
centos-master = 192.168.121.9
centos-minion-1 = 192.168.121.65
centos-minion-2 = 192.168.121.66
centos-minion-3 = 192.168.121.67
```
**Prepare the hosts:**
* Create a /etc/yum.repos.d/virt7-docker-common-release.repo on all hosts - centos-{master,minion-n} with following information.
```conf
[virt7-docker-common-release]
name=virt7-docker-common-release
baseurl=http://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt7-docker-common-release/x86_64/os/
gpgcheck=0
```
* Install Kubernetes, etcd and flannel on all hosts - centos-{master,minion-n}. This will also pull in docker and cadvisor.
```shell
yum -y install --enablerepo=virt7-docker-common-release kubernetes etcd flannel
```
* Add master and node to /etc/hosts on all machines (not needed if hostnames already in DNS)
```shell
echo "192.168.121.9 centos-master
192.168.121.65 centos-minion-1
192.168.121.66 centos-minion-2
192.168.121.67 centos-minion-3" >> /etc/hosts
```
* Edit /etc/kubernetes/config which will be the same on all hosts to contain:
```shell
# Comma separated list of nodes in the etcd cluster
KUBE_ETCD_SERVERS="--etcd-servers=http://centos-master:2379"
# logging to stderr means we get it in the systemd journal
KUBE_LOGTOSTDERR="--logtostderr=true"
# journal message level, 0 is debug
KUBE_LOG_LEVEL="--v=0"
# Should this cluster be allowed to run privileged docker containers
KUBE_ALLOW_PRIV="--allow-privileged=false"
# How the replication controller and scheduler find the kube-apiserver
KUBE_MASTER="--master=http://centos-master:8080"
```
* Disable the firewall on the master and all the nodes, as docker does not play well with other firewall rule managers
```shell
systemctl disable iptables-services firewalld
systemctl stop iptables-services firewalld
```
**Configure the Kubernetes services on the master.**
* Edit /etc/etcd/etcd.conf to appear as such:
```shell
# [member]
ETCD_NAME=default
ETCD_DATA_DIR="/var/lib/etcd/default.etcd"
ETCD_LISTEN_CLIENT_URLS="http://0.0.0.0:2379"
#[cluster]
ETCD_ADVERTISE_CLIENT_URLS="http://0.0.0.0:2379"
```
* Edit /etc/kubernetes/apiserver to appear as such:
```shell
# The address on the local server to listen to.
KUBE_API_ADDRESS="--address=0.0.0.0"
# The port on the local server to listen on.
KUBE_API_PORT="--port=8080"
# Port kubelets listen on
KUBELET_PORT="--kubelet-port=10250"
# Address range to use for services
KUBE_SERVICE_ADDRESSES="--service-cluster-ip-range=10.254.0.0/16"
# Add your own!
KUBE_API_ARGS=""
```
* Configure ETCD to hold the network overlay configuration on master:
**Warning** This network must be unused in your network infrastructure! `172.30.0.0/16` is free in our network.
```shell
$ etcdctl mkdir /kube-centos/network
$ etcdctl mk /kube-centos/network/config "{ \"Network\": \"172.30.0.0/16\", \"SubnetLen\": 24, \"Backend\": { \"Type\": \"vxlan\" } }"
```
* Configure flannel to overlay Docker network in /etc/sysconfig/flanneld on the master (also in the nodes as we'll see):
```shell
# etcd url location. Point this to the server where etcd runs
FLANNEL_ETCD="http://centos-master:2379"
# etcd config key. This is the configuration key that flannel queries
# For address range assignment
FLANNEL_ETCD_KEY="/kube-centos/network"
# Any additional options that you want to pass
FLANNEL_OPTIONS=""
```
* Start the appropriate services on master:
```shell
for SERVICES in etcd kube-apiserver kube-controller-manager kube-scheduler flanneld; do
systemctl restart $SERVICES
systemctl enable $SERVICES
systemctl status $SERVICES
done
```
**Configure the Kubernetes services on the nodes.**
***We need to configure the kubelet and start the kubelet and proxy***
* Edit /etc/kubernetes/kubelet to appear as such:
```shell
# The address for the info server to serve on
KUBELET_ADDRESS="--address=0.0.0.0"
# The port for the info server to serve on
KUBELET_PORT="--port=10250"
# You may leave this blank to use the actual hostname
KUBELET_HOSTNAME="--hostname-override=centos-minion-n" # Check the node number!
# Location of the api-server
KUBELET_API_SERVER="--api-servers=http://centos-master:8080"
# Add your own!
KUBELET_ARGS=""
```
* Configure flannel to overlay Docker network in /etc/sysconfig/flanneld (in all the nodes)
```shell
# etcd url location. Point this to the server where etcd runs
FLANNEL_ETCD="http://centos-master:2379"
# etcd config key. This is the configuration key that flannel queries
# For address range assignment
FLANNEL_ETCD_KEY="/kube-centos/network"
# Any additional options that you want to pass
FLANNEL_OPTIONS=""
```
* Start the appropriate services on node (centos-minion-n).
```shell
for SERVICES in kube-proxy kubelet flanneld docker; do
systemctl restart $SERVICES
systemctl enable $SERVICES
systemctl status $SERVICES
done
```
* Configure kubectl
```shell
kubectl config set-cluster default-cluster --server=http://centos-master:8080
kubectl config set-context default-context --cluster=default-cluster --user=default-admin
kubectl config use-context default-context
```
*You should be finished!*
* Check to make sure the cluster can see the node (on centos-master)
```shell
$ kubectl get nodes
NAME LABELS STATUS
centos-minion-1 <none> Ready
centos-minion-2 <none> Ready
centos-minion-3 <none> Ready
```
**The cluster should be running! Launch a test pod.**
You should have a functional cluster, check out [101](/docs/user-guide/walkthrough/)!
