# Running CRI-O on kubernetes cluster
|
|
|
|
## Switching runtime from docker to CRI-O
|
|
|
|
In standard docker kubernetes cluster, kubelet is running on each node as systemd service and is taking care of communication between runtime and api service.
|
|
It is reponsible for starting microservices pods (such as `kube-proxy`, `kubedns`, etc. - they can be different for various ways of deploying k8s) and user pods.
|
|
Configuration of kubelet determines which runtime is used and in what way.
|
|
|
|
Kubelet itself is executed in docker container (as we can see in `kubelet.service`), but, what is important, **it's not** a kubernetes pod (at least for now),
|
|
so we can keep kubelet running inside container (as well as directly on the host), and regardless of this, run pods in chosen runtime.
|
|
|
|
Below, you can find an instruction how to switch one or more nodes on running kubernetes cluster from docker to CRI-O.
|
|
|
|
### Preparing crio
|
|
|
|
You must prepare and install `crio` on each node you would like to switch. Here's the list of files that must be provided:
|
|
|
|
| File path | Description | Location |
|
|
|--------------------------------------------|----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `/etc/crio/crio.conf` | crio configuration | Generated on cri-o `make install` |
|
|
| `/etc/crio/seccomp.conf` | seccomp config | Example stored in cri-o repository |
|
|
| `/etc/containers/policy.json` | containers policy | Example stored in cri-o repository |
|
|
| `/bin/{crio, runc}` | `crio` and `runc` binaries | Built from cri-o repository |
|
|
| `/usr/local/libexec/crio/conmon` | `conmon` binary | Built from cri-o repository |
|
|
| `/opt/cni/bin/{flannel, bridge,...}` | CNI plugins binaries | Can be built from sources `containernetworking/cni` |
|
|
| `/etc/cni/net.d/10-mynet.conf` | Network config | Example stored in [README file](README.md) |
|
|
|
|
`crio` binary can be executed directly on host, inside the container or in any way.
|
|
However, recommended way is to set it as a systemd service.
|
|
Here's the example of unit file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# cat /etc/systemd/system/crio.service
|
|
[Unit]
|
|
Description=CRI-O daemon
|
|
Documentation=https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-o
|
|
|
|
[Service]
|
|
ExecStart=/bin/crio --runtime /bin/runc --log /root/crio.log --log-level debug
|
|
Restart=always
|
|
RestartSec=10s
|
|
|
|
[Install]
|
|
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Preparing kubelet
|
|
At first, you need to stop kubelet service working on the node:
|
|
```
|
|
# systemctl stop kubelet
|
|
```
|
|
and stop all kubelet docker containers that are still runing.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# docker stop $(docker ps | grep k8s_ | awk '{print $1}')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We have to be sure that `kubelet.service` will start after `crio.service`.
|
|
It can be done by adding `crio.service` to `Wants=` section in `/etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# cat /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service | grep Wants
|
|
Wants=docker.socket crio.service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to change the way of starting kubelet (e.g. directly on host instead of docker container), you can change it here, but, as mentioned, it's not necessary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kubelet parameters are stored in `/etc/kubernetes/kubelet.env` file.
|
|
```
|
|
# cat /etc/kubernetes/kubelet.env | grep KUBELET_ARGS
|
|
KUBELET_ARGS="--pod-manifest-path=/etc/kubernetes/manifests
|
|
--pod-infra-container-image=gcr.io/google_containers/pause-amd64:3.0
|
|
--cluster_dns=10.233.0.3 --cluster_domain=cluster.local
|
|
--resolv-conf=/etc/resolv.conf --kubeconfig=/etc/kubernetes/node-kubeconfig.yaml
|
|
--require-kubeconfig"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You need to add following parameters to `KUBELET_ARGS`:
|
|
* `--experimental-cri=true` - Use Container Runtime Interface. Will be true by default from kubernetes 1.6 release.
|
|
* `--container-runtime=remote` - Use remote runtime with provided socket.
|
|
* `--container-runtime-endpoint=/var/run/crio/crio.sock` - Socket for remote runtime (default `crio` socket localization).
|
|
* `--runtime-request-timeout=10m` - Optional but useful. Some requests, especially pulling huge images, may take longer than default (2 minutes) and will cause an error.
|
|
|
|
Kubelet is prepared now.
|
|
|
|
## Flannel network
|
|
If your cluster is using flannel network, your network configuration should be like:
|
|
```
|
|
# cat /etc/cni/net.d/10-mynet.conf
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "mynet",
|
|
"type": "flannel"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
Then, kubelet will take parameters from `/run/flannel/subnet.env` - file generated by flannel kubelet microservice.
|
|
|
|
## Starting kubelet with CRI-O
|
|
Start crio first, then kubelet. If you created `crio` service:
|
|
```
|
|
# systemctl start crio
|
|
# systemctl start kubelet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can follow the progress of preparing node using `kubectl get nodes` or `kubectl get pods --all-namespaces` on kubernetes master.
