1. Install the Docker-Desktop and check the installation method

2. Download and rename the file k3D. exe. You can set the file to win environment variables

https://github.com/rancher/k3d/releases/tag/v5.0.1-rc.1

3. Start k3d.exe in the CMD window

4. Create a K8S cluster

k3d cluster create k8s-cluster --port 8080:80@loadbalancer --port 8443:443@loadbalancer --api-port 6443 --servers 1 --agents 2

INFO[0031] You can now use it like this:
kubectl config use-context k3d-k8s-cluster
kubectl cluster-info
Copy the code
>kubectl get nodes
NAME                       STATUS   ROLES                  AGE     VERSION
k3d-k8s-cluster-agent-1    Ready    <none>                 8m49s   v121.. 5+k3s2
k3d-k8s-cluster-agent-0    Ready    <none>                 8m49s   v121.. 5+k3s2
k3d-k8s-cluster-server-0   Ready    control-plane,master   8m59s   v121.. 5+k3s2
Copy the code

5. Install the K8S cluster console

Kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.3.1/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml

namespace/kubernetes-dashboard created
serviceaccount/kubernetes-dashboard created
service/kubernetes-dashboard created
secret/kubernetes-dashboard-certs created
secret/kubernetes-dashboard-csrf created
secret/kubernetes-dashboard-key-holder created
configmap/kubernetes-dashboard-settings created
role.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/kubernetes-dashboard created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/kubernetes-dashboard created
rolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/kubernetes-dashboard created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/kubernetes-dashboard created
deployment.apps/kubernetes-dashboard created
service/dashboard-metrics-scraper created
deployment.apps/dashboard-metrics-scraper created
Copy the code

6. Create a console login user

kubectl create -f dashboard-admin-user.yml kubectl create -f dashboard-admin-user-role.yml

7. Check the token

kubectl -n kubernetes-dashboard describe secret admin-user-token

8. Use proxy to start the K8S console

kubectl proxy

Starting to serve on 127.0. 01.:8001
Copy the code

9. Log in to the console and copy the obtained token

http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/

10. K3d command

  • Stopping a cluster:k3d cluster stop k8s-cluster
  • Restarting the cluster:k3d cluster start k8s-cluster
  • Deleting a cluster:k3d cluster delete k8s-cluster
