If you are installing Kubed on a GKE cluster, you will need cluster admin permissions to install Kubed operator. Run the following command to grant admin permision to the cluster.
Kubed includes a check command to verify a cluster config. Download the pre-built binary from appscode/kubed Github releases and put the binary to some directory in your PATH.
Kubed can be installed via a script or as a Helm chart.
Using Script
Kubed can be installed via installer script included in the /hack/deploy folder.
# set cluster-name to something meaningful to you, say, prod, prod-us-east, qa, etc.
# so that you can distinguish notifications sent by kubed
$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appscode/kubed/v0.12.0/hack/deploy/kubed.sh \
| bash -s -- --cluster-name=<your-cluster-name>
Customizing Installer
You can see the full list of flags available to installer using -h flag.
$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appscode/kubed/v0.12.0/hack/deploy/kubed.sh | bash -s -- -h
kubed.sh - install Kubernetes cluster daemon
kubed.sh [options]
options:
-h, --help show brief help
-n, --namespace=NAMESPACE specify namespace (default: kube-system)
--rbac create RBAC roles and bindings (default: true)
--docker-registry docker registry used to pull kubed images (default: appscode)
--image-pull-secret name of secret used to pull kubed operator images
--run-on-master run kubed operator on master
--cluster-name name of cluster (default: unicorn)
--enable-apiserver enable/disable kubed apiserver
--use-kubeapiserver-fqdn-for-aks if true, uses kube-apiserver FQDN for AKS cluster to workaround https://github.com/Azure/AKS/issues/522 (default true)
--enable-analytics send usage events to Google Analytics (default: true)
--uninstall uninstall kubed
If you would like to run Kubed operator pod in master instances, pass the --run-on-master flag:
$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appscode/kubed/v0.12.0/hack/deploy/kubed.sh \
| bash -s -- --run-on-master [--rbac]
Kubed operator will be installed in a kube-system namespace by default. If you would like to run Kubed operator pod in kubed namespace, pass the --namespace=kubed flag:
$ kubectl create namespace kubed
$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appscode/kubed/v0.12.0/hack/deploy/kubed.sh \
| bash -s -- --namespace=kubed [--run-on-master] [--rbac]
If you are using a private Docker registry, you need to pull the following docker image:
To pass the address of your private registry and optionally a image pull secret use flags --docker-registry and --image-pull-secret respectively.
$ kubectl create namespace kubed
$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appscode/kubed/v0.12.0/hack/deploy/kubed.sh \
| bash -s -- --docker-registry=MY_REGISTRY [--image-pull-secret=SECRET_NAME] [--rbac]
