Deploy a CoreOS running Kubernetes environment. This particular guide is made to help those in an OFFLINE system, wither for testing a POC before the real deal, or you are restricted to be totally offline for your applications.
Node Description | MAC | IP |
---|---|---|
CoreOS/etcd/Kubernetes Master | d0:00:67:13:0d:00 | 10.20.30.40 |
CoreOS Slave 1 | d0:00:67:13:0d:01 | 10.20.30.41 |
CoreOS Slave 2 | d0:00:67:13:0d:02 | 10.20.30.42 |
To setup CentOS PXELINUX environment there is a complete guide here. This section is the abbreviated version.

Now you should have a working PXELINUX setup to image CoreOS nodes. You can verify the services by using VirtualBox locally or with bare metal servers.
This section describes how to setup the CoreOS images to live alongside a pre-existing PXELINUX environment.

This configuration file will now boot from local drive but have the option to PXE image CoreOS.
This section covers configuring the DHCP server to hand out our new images. In this case we are assuming that there are other servers that will boot alongside other images.

We will be specifying the node configuration later in the guide.
To deploy our configuration we need to create an etcd
master. To do so we want to pxe CoreOS with a specific cloud-config.yml. There are two options we have here.
This demo we just make a static single etcd
server to host our Kubernetes and etcd
master servers.
Since we are OFFLINE here most of the helping processes in CoreOS and Kubernetes are then limited. To do our setup we will then have to download and serve up our binaries for Kubernetes in our local environment.
An easy solution is to host a small web server on the DHCP/TFTP host for all our binaries to make them available to the local CoreOS PXE machines.
To get this up and running we are going to setup a simple apache
server to serve our binaries needed to bootstrap Kubernetes.
This is on the PXE server from the previous section:
rm /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf
cd /var/www/html/
wget -O kube-register https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kube-register/releases/download/v0.0.2/kube-register-0.0.2-linux-amd64
wget -O setup-network-environment https://github.com/kelseyhightower/setup-network-environment/releases/download/v1.0.0/setup-network-environment

wget -O flanneld https://storage.googleapis.com/k8s/flanneld --no-check-certificate
This sets up our binaries we need to run Kubernetes. This would need to be enhanced to download from the Internet for updates in the future.
Now for the good stuff!
The following config files are tailored for the OFFLINE version of a Kubernetes deployment.
These are based on the work found here: master.yml, node.yml
To make the setup work, you need to replace a few placeholders:
<PXE_SERVER_IP>
with your PXE server ip address (e.g. 10.20.30.242)<MASTER_SERVER_IP>
with the Kubernetes master ip address (e.g. 10.20.30.40)rdocker.example.com
with your docker registry dns name.rproxy.example.com
with your proxy server (and port)On the PXE server make and fill in the variables vi /var/www/html/coreos/pxe-cloud-config-master.yml
.

Now that we have our new targets setup for master and slave we want to configure the specific hosts to those targets. We will do this by using the pxelinux mechanism of setting a specific MAC addresses to a specific pxelinux.cfg file.
Refer to the MAC address table in the beginning of this guide. Documentation for more details can be found here.
cd /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
ln -s coreos-node-master 01-d0-00-67-13-0d-00
ln -s coreos-node-slave 01-d0-00-67-13-0d-01
ln -s coreos-node-slave 01-d0-00-67-13-0d-02
Reboot these servers to get the images PXEd and ready for running containers!
Now that the CoreOS with Kubernetes installed is up and running lets spin up some Kubernetes pods to demonstrate the system.
See a simple nginx example to try out your new cluster.
For more complete applications, please look in the examples directory.
List all keys in etcd:
etcdctl ls --recursive
List fleet machines
fleetctl list-machines
Check system status of services on master:
systemctl status kube-apiserver
systemctl status kube-controller-manager
systemctl status kube-scheduler
systemctl status kube-register
Check system status of services on a node:
systemctl status kube-kubelet
systemctl status docker.service
List Kubernetes
kubectl get pods
kubectl get nodes
Kill all pods:
for i in `kubectl get pods | awk '{print $1}'`; do kubectl delete pod $i; done
