How to Install Kubernetes on EndeavourOS Latest

Kubernetes is an open-source system used for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Kubernetes on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

  • A system running EndeavourOS Latest.
  • A user account that has sudo privileges on the EndeavourOS system.

Step 1: Update System

Update your EndeavourOS system by running:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Install Docker

To install Docker, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S docker

Start the Docker service and enable it to start at boot:

sudo systemctl start docker.service

sudo systemctl enable docker.service

Step 3: Install Kubernetes CLI Tools

  1. Install the Kubernetes CLI with the following command:

sudo pacman -S kubectl

  1. Verify the installation by running:

kubectl version --client

Step 4: Install Kubernetes

  1. The preferred way to install Kubernetes is through the kubeadm tool. Install it with:

sudo pacman -S kubelet kubeadm kubectl

  1. Initialize your machine for Kubernetes with:

sudo kubeadm init

This command will take a while to complete. When it is done, it will output the command to join your newly created Kubernetes cluster. You should save this command as it will be used when joining other nodes to the cluster.

  1. Configure kubectl with the configuration file created during the initialization step:

mkdir -p $HOME/.kube

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

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

  1. Verify that Kubernetes is up and running by checking the status of the nodes:

kubectl get nodes

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps to install Kubernetes on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now deploy containerized applications on your cluster.
