Launch kubernetes clusters on OpenStack.

Features

• Get your kubernetes cluster on noris.cloud in about 5 minutes.
• Complete provisioning of openstack infrastructure via the installer.
• Kubernetes 1.14.X supported
• You can use a pre-built binary installer or the Python sources
• Resize your cluster as needed (add or remove masters and worker nodes)
• Multiple plugins already installed (you can add more easily by deploying operators):
  • nginx-ingress controller
  • audit logging
  • cloud provider integration (create volumes and loadbalancers from within kubernetes)
  • metrics API enabled
• Support for two CNI plugins out of the box
  • Calico (default)
  • Flannel
• (Experimental) Single-Sign-On with:
  • LDAP
  • Gitlab
  • SAML (beta feature)

Quickstart

If you just want to use koris to create a cluster follow the steps below, for more details refer to :doc:`/installation` and :doc:`/usage`.

If you want to develop, please refer to :doc:`/contributing`.

The complete compiled documentation of koris can be found here.

Prerequisites

Install Python 3.6:

sudo apt install python3-pip python3.6-venv

Follow the instructions to install kubectl .

Installation

1. Create a local virtual environment for koris (using your favorite tool). For example the standard Python has a simple virtual environment tool:

   $ mkdir koris
   $ cd koris && python3 -m venv koris-env

2. Activate the environment with:

   $ source koris-env/bin/activate

   You can leave your virtual environment by typing deactivate.

3. To install the latest realese (for installation from source see :doc:`/installation`), grab it with the following command (replace <LATEST_TAG> with the latest version tag, for example 1.2.0).

   $ pip install -e git+git@gitlab.com:noris-network/koris.git@v<LATEST_TAG>#egg=koris

Koris is now installed in ./koris-env/bin and usable with an activated virtual environment.

Note

If the machine you would like to install koris on does not have access to ``gitlab.com`noris-network download the source distribution on a machine that has, and copy it over to your desired machine:

curl https://gitlab.com/noris-network/koris/-/archive/v<LATEST_TAG>/koris-v<LATEST_TAG>.zip
scp koris-v<LATEST_TAG>.zip remotehost:~/

Repeat the steps to create and activate a virtual environment, then install the package via pip:

$ pip install koris-v<LATEST_TAG>.zip

Usage

1. Source your OpenStack RC file and enter your password:

   $ source ~/path/to/your/openstack-openrc.sh
   Please enter your OpenStack Password for project <PROJECT> as user <USER>\:

2. Koris is executed with koris <subcommand>. You can get a list of subcommands with -h or --help.

   $ koris -h
   usage: koris [-h] [--version]
               [--verbosity {0,1,2,3,4,quiet,error,warning,info,debug}]
               {add,apply,delete,destroy} ...
   
   Before any koris command can be run, an OpenStack RC file has to be sourced in
   the shell. See online documentation for more information.
   
   positional arguments:
     {add,apply,delete,destroy}
                           commands
       add                 Add a worker node or master node to the cluster. Add a
                           node or a master to the current active context in your
                           KUBECONFIG. You can specify any other configuration
                           file by overriding the KUBECONFIG environment
                           variable. If you specify a name and IP address the
                           program will only try to join it to the cluster
                           without trying to create the host in the cloud first.
       apply               Bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster
       delete              Delete a node from the cluster, or the complete
                           cluster.
       destroy             Delete the complete cluster stack
   
   optional arguments:
     -h, --help            show this help message and exit
     --version             show version and exit
     --verbosity {0,1,2,3,4,quiet,error,warning,info,debug}, -v {0,1,2,3,4,quiet,error,warning,info,debug}
                           set the verbosity level (0 = quiet, 1 = error, 2 =
                           warning, 3 = info, 4 = debug) (default: 3)

3. To get information about each subcommand type:

   $ koris destroy -h
   usage: koris destroy [-h] [--force] config
   
   positional arguments:
     config
   
   optional arguments:
     -h, --help   show this help message and exit
     --force, -f

4. Koris creates the proper security groups needed for a working cluster. However, if you are a building a cluster for a customer which has cloud-connect and needs BGP communication, add correct security rules in OpenStack:

   neutron security-group-rule-create --protocol tcp --port-range-min 179 --port-range-max 179 --remote-ip-prefix <CUSTOMER_CIDR> --direction egress <CLUSTER-SEC-GROUP>
   neutron security-group-rule-create --protocol tcp --port-range-min 179 --port-range-max 179 --direction ingress --remote-ip-prefix <CUSTOMER_CIDR> <CLUSTER-SEC-GROUP>

5. Create a configuration file. For more information check the :download:`example-config.yml <../configs/example-config.yml>`) or refer to the section :ref:`usage_deploy_cluster`.

6. Run koris apply with your configuration file as the argument:

   $ koris apply your-config.yaml

7. A kubectl configuration file will be created into your project root with the name of <clustername>-admin.conf. You can either pass that with each execution via kubectl --kubeconfig=/path/to/koris/your-admin.conf or by exporting it as an environment variable:

   $ export KUBECONFIG=/path/to/koris/your-admin.conf
   $ kubectl get nodes
