KubeVPN

KubeVPN is Cloud Native Dev Environment, connect to kubernetes cluster network, you can access remote kubernetes cluster network, remote kubernetes cluster service can also access your local service. and more, you can run your kubernetes pod on local Docker container with same environment、volume、and network. you can develop your application on local PC totally.

QuickStart

Install from GitHub release

LINK

Install from custom krew index

(
  kubectl krew index add kubevpn https://github.com/wencaiwulue/kubevpn.git && \
  kubectl krew install kubevpn/kubevpn && kubectl kubevpn 
)

Install from build it manually

(
  git clone https://github.com/wencaiwulue/kubevpn.git && \
  cd kubevpn && make kubevpn && ./bin/kubevpn
)

Install bookinfo as demo application

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wencaiwulue/kubevpn/master/samples/bookinfo.yaml

You can see that it will start up two containers with docker, mapping to pod two container, and share port with same network, you can use localhost:port to access another container. And more, all environment、volume and network are the same as remote kubernetes pod, it is truly consistent with the kubernetes runtime. Makes develop on local PC comes true.

If you want to specify the image to start the container locally, you can use the parameter --docker-image. When the image does not exist locally, it will be pulled from the corresponding mirror warehouse. If you want to specify startup parameters, you can use --entrypoint parameter, replace it with the command you want to execute, such as --entrypoint "tail -f /dev/null", for more parameters, see kubevpn dev --help.

DinD ( Docker in Docker ) use kubevpn in Docker

If you want to start the development mode locally using Docker in Docker (DinD), because the program will read and write the /tmp directory, you need to manually add the parameter -v /tmp:/tmp (outer docker) and other thing is you need to special parameter --network (inner docker) for sharing network and pid

Example:

docker run -it --privileged -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /tmp:/tmp -v /Users/naison/.kube/config:/root/.kube/config naison/kubevpn:v1.1.21

➜  ~ docker run -it --privileged -c authors -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /tmp:/tmp -v /Users/naison/.kube/vke:/root/.kube/config -v /Users/naison/Desktop/kubevpn/bin:/app naison/kubevpn:v1.1.21

    Warn: Use sudo to execute command kubevpn can not use user env KUBECONFIG.
    Because of sudo user env and user env are different.

FAQ

1, What should I do if the dependent image cannot be pulled, or the inner environment cannot access docker.io?

Answer:

In the network that can access docker.io, transfer the image in the command kubevpn version to your own private image registry, and then add option --image to special image when starting the command. Example:

  ➜  ~ kubevpn version
  KubeVPN: CLI
  Version: v1.1.14
  Image: docker.io/naison/kubevpn:v1.1.14
  Branch: master
  Git commit: 87dac42dad3d8f472a9dcdfc2c6cd801551f23d1
  Built time: 2023-01-15 04:19:45
  Built OS/Arch: linux/amd64
  Built Go version: go1.18.10
  ➜  ~

Image is docker.io/naison/kubevpn:v1.1.14, transfer this image to private docker registry

docker pull docker.io/naison/kubevpn:v1.1.14
docker tag docker.io/naison/kubevpn:v1.1.14 [docker registry]/[namespace]/[repo]:[tag]
docker push [docker registry]/[namespace]/[repo]:[tag]

Then you can use this image, as follows:

➜  ~ kubevpn connect --image [docker registry]/[namespace]/[repo]:[tag]
got cidr from cache
traffic manager not exist, try to create it...
pod [kubevpn-traffic-manager] status is Running

2, When use `kubevpn dev`, but got error code 137, how to resolve ?

dns service ok

clean up successful

This is because of your docker-desktop required resource is less than pod running request resource, it OOM killed, so you can add more resource in your docker-desktop setting Preferences --> Resources --> Memory

3, Using WSL( Windows Sub Linux ) Docker, when use mode `kubevpn dev`, can not connect to cluster network, how to solve this problem?

Answer:

this is because WSL'Docker using Windows's Network, so if even start a container in WSL, this container will not use WSL network, but use Windows network

Solution:

1): install docker in WSL, not use Windows Docker-desktop
2): use command kubevpn connect on Windows, and then startup kubevpn dev in WSL
3): startup a container using command kubevpn connect on Windows, and then startup kubevpn dev --network container:$CONTAINER_ID in WSL

4，After use command `kubevpn dev` enter develop mode，but can't assess kubernetes api-server，occur error `172.17.0.1:443 connect refusued`，how to solve this problem?

Answer:

Maybe k8s network subnet is conflict with docker subnet

Solution:

Use option --connect-mode container to startup command kubevpn dev
Modify ~/.docker/daemon.json, add not conflict subnet, eg: "bip": "172.15.0.1/24".

➜  ~ cat ~/.docker/daemon.json
{
  "builder": {
    "gc": {
      "defaultKeepStorage": "20GB",
      "enabled": true
    }
  },
  "experimental": false,
  "features": {
    "buildkit": true
  },
  "insecure-registries": [
  ],
}

add subnet not conflict, eg: 172.15.0.1/24

➜  ~ cat ~/.docker/daemon.json
{
  "builder": {
    "gc": {
      "defaultKeepStorage": "20GB",
      "enabled": true
    }
  },
  "experimental": false,
  "features": {
    "buildkit": true
  },
  "insecure-registries": [
  ],
  "bip": "172.15.0.1/24"
}

restart docker and retry
