Introduction

Deploy simple NodeJS apps with kubernetes deployment. At this point, this repo used LoadBalancer type ingress to expose HTTP(s) from outside cluster to communicate with the services inside a cluster.

Requirements

  • Master Node - VPS Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with minimum 2 cores CPU and 2GB RAM
  • Worker/Slave Node - VPS Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with minimum 2 cores CPU and 2GB RAM(able to skip validation if using 1GB RAM)
  • Docker Image - metallurgical/nodeexample:v0.0.1(My own sample image which is publicly accessible on docker hub)
  • Git - To clone this repository inside master node

Installation

Installation should be done on both master and worker node

Disable swap

Kubernetes required swap memory set to disable for both master and worker node

sudo swapoff -a

Install docker

Update server library and so forth

sudo apt-get update

Install docker

sudo apt install docker.io

After done installation, verify docker installation

docker --version

Enable docker services

sudo systemctl enable docker

Start docker services

sudo systemctl start docker

Change default driver for docker from cgroup to systemd

cat > /etc/docker/daemon.json <<EOF
{
  "exec-opts": ["native.cgroupdriver=systemd"],
  "log-driver": "json-file",
  "log-opts": {
    "max-size": "100m"
  },
  "storage-driver": "overlay2"
}
EOF
mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d
# Restart docker.
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart docker

Set Hostname

Installations should be done on both master and worker node. For ease of identification, we might need to change the nodes's hostname.

On master node

sudo hostnamectl set-hostname master-node

On worker node

sudo hostnamectl set-hostname slave-node

Install kubernetes

Installations should be done on both master and worker node.

Add Kubernetes signing key

curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add

Add the Xenial Kubernetes repository

sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main"

Install kubeadm(for interaction with api server)

sudo apt install kubeadm

After installation, check the version number of Kubeadm and also verify the installation through the following command

kubeadm version

Initialize kubernetes cluster

This step only for master node, while the worker nodes only need to join the connection

sudo kubeadm init --pod-network-cidr=10.244.0.0/16

# If using 1GB RAM and 1 code CPU, you can skip validation
sudo kubeadm init --pod-network-cidr=10.244.0.0/16 --ignore-preflight-errors=NumCPU

After done (copy join command to use later inside worker node), to start using cluster, run following command as normal user

mkdir -p $HOME/.kube

Copy the configuration

sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config

Change ownership

sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config

Join network between worker nodes with master node

This step only for worker node

Paste kubeadm join command that showing up when setting up master cluster

kubeadm join <master-ip-address>:6443 --token <token> --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash <cert-hash>

Verify successful join command if the output showing

This node has joined the cluster:
* Certificate signing request was sent to apiserver and a response was received.
* The Kubelet was informed of the new secure connection details.

Run 'kubectl get nodes' on the control-plane to see this node join the cluster

Verify successful join command from Master

This step only for master node

kubeadm get nodes

The output must showing status in notready state

Install POD network using flannel as a medium

This step only for master node This will install kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, kube-flannel, kube-proxy and kube-scheduler

sudo kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coreos/flannel/master/Documentation/kube-flannel.yml

After done, verify the installation to see the status

kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

Ensure all the status is running, it may take sometimes to make it running, so please keep issuing the command.

Deploy NodeJs App

This step only for master node

If everything is ready, up and running, its time to deploy our application. Head over to master CLI, navigate to /var/www/html. Clone this repository and run

# If services still not created and running
kubectl create -f deployments.yaml --validate=false

# If services already running and created
kubectl apply -f deployments.yaml --validate=false

To see the created pods, run

kubectl get pods

You should able to see 3 pods were created. To open in browser, browse using following http://<master-node-ip>:30001 and should see hello world

Scale up application instance

Currently the deployment services only create 3 replicas, to scaling up issue this command

kubectl scale --replicas=7 deployment/myappdeployment

Kubernetes will spin up 4 more pods based on our configurations.
