```

## Kube Credentials

On the operator

```bash
export KUBE_SERVER_ADDRESS="https://k3s.reeselink.com:6443"
# Copy the kube config down
ssh k3s cat /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml | \
yq -y ".clusters[0].cluster.server = \"${KUBE_SERVER_ADDRESS}\"" > \
~/.kube/admin-kube-config
```

## Metal LB

### VLAN Setup

I would remove firewalld to get this working. VLAN IPv6 traffic doesn't work for some
reason and there aren't good docs yet. Your router firewall will suffice, just be sure
to configure those rules correctly.

Before working with Metallb you'll need at least one available VLAN. On Unifi equipment
this is accomplished by creating a new network. Don't assign it to anything.

On the linux machine you can use nmcli or cockpit to configure a new VLAN network interface.
With cockpit:

1. Add a new VLAN network
2. The parent should be the physical adapter connected to your switch
3. Set the VLAN ID to the VLAN number of your created unifi network
4. Click create
5. Click into the new network
6. Turn off IPv4 and IPv6 DNS (it will overload the resolv.conf hosts limit)
7. Turn on the network interface
8. Attempt to ping the acquired address(es)

### Installation

We'll be swapping K3S's default load balancer with Metal LB for more flexibility. ServiceLB was
struggling to allocate IP addresses for load balanced services. MetallLB does make things a little
more complicated- you'll need special annotations (see below) but it's otherwise a well-tested,
stable load balancing service with features to grow into.

Metallb is pretty cool. It works via l2 advertisement or BGP. We won't be using BGP, so let's
focus on l2.

When we connect our nodes to a network we give them an IP address range: ex. `192.168.122.20/24`.
This range represents all the available addresses the node could be assigned. Usually we assign
a single "static" IP address for our node and direct traffic to it by port forwarding from our
router. This is fine for single nodes - but what if we have a cluster of nodes and we don't want
our service to disappear just because one node is down for maintenance?

This is where l2 advertising comes in. Metallb will assign a static IP address from a given
pool to any arbitrary node - then advertise that node's mac address as the location for the
IP. When that node goes down metallb simply advertises a new mac address for the same IP
address, effectively moving the IP to another node. This isn't really "load balancing" but
"failover". Fortunately, that's exactly what we're looking for.

```bash
helm repo add metallb https://metallb.github.io/metallb
helm repo update

# Install metallb
helm upgrade --install metallb \
--namespace kube-system \
metallb/metallb
```

MetalLB doesn't know what IP addresses are available for it to allocate so
we'll have to provide it with a list. The
[metallb-addresspool.yaml](/active/kubernetes_metallb/addresspool.yaml) has
the configuration for our available pools. Note these should match the VLAN you
created above.

```bash
# create the metallb allocation pool
kubectl apply -f active/kubernetes_metallb/addresspool.yaml
```

You'll need to annotate your service as follows if you want an external IP:

```yaml
metadata:
  annotations:
    metallb.universe.tf/address-pool: "unifi-pool"
spec:
  ipFamilyPolicy: PreferDualStack
  ipFamilies:
  - IPv6
  - IPv4
```

Then test with

```bash
kubectl apply -f active/systemd_k3s/tests/metallb-test.yaml
```

## External DNS

<https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns/blob/master/docs/tutorials/aws.md>

### Credentials

1. Generate credentials for the cluster

```bash
aws iam create-user --user-name "externaldns"
aws iam attach-user-policy --user-name "externaldns" --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::892236928704:policy/update-reeseapps
aws iam attach-user-policy --user-name "externaldns" --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::892236928704:policy/update-reeselink

GENERATED_ACCESS_KEY=$(aws iam create-access-key --user-name "externaldns")
ACCESS_KEY_ID=$(echo $GENERATED_ACCESS_KEY | jq -r '.AccessKey.AccessKeyId')
SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$(echo $GENERATED_ACCESS_KEY | jq -r '.AccessKey.SecretAccessKey')

cat <<-EOF > secrets/externaldns-credentials

[default]
aws_access_key_id = $ACCESS_KEY_ID
aws_secret_access_key = $SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
EOF

kubectl create secret generic external-dns \
  --namespace kube-system --from-file secrets/externaldns-credentials

helm repo add external-dns https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/external-dns/
helm upgrade --install external-dns external-dns/external-dns \
--values active/kubernetes_external-dns/values.yaml \
--namespace kube-system
```

### Annotation

```yaml
metadata:
  annotations:
    external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: example.com
```

## Nginx Ingress

Now we need an ingress solution (preferably with certs for https). We'll be using nginx since
it's a little bit more configurable than traefik (though don't sell traefik short, it's really
good. Just finnicky when you have use cases they haven't explicitly coded for).

```bash
helm repo add ingress-nginx https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx
helm repo update
helm upgrade --install \
    ingress-nginx \
    ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx \
    --values active/kubernetes_ingress-nginx/values.yaml \
    --namespace kube-system
```

## Cert Manager

Install cert-manager

```bash
helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io
helm repo update
helm upgrade --install \
    cert-manager jetstack/cert-manager \
    --namespace kube-system \
    --set crds.enabled=true
```

Create the let's encrypt issuer (Route53 DNS)

```bash
export LE_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
export LE_SECRET_KEY=

cat <<EOF > secrets/cert-manager-secret.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: prod-route53-credentials-cert-manager
data:
  access-key-id: $(echo $LE_ACCESS_KEY_ID | base64)
  secret-access-key: $(echo $LE_SECRET_KEY | base64)
EOF

kubectl apply -f secrets/cert-manager-secret.yaml
```

```bash
cat <<EOF > secrets/route53-cluster-issuer.yaml
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: ClusterIssuer
metadata:
  name: letsencrypt
spec:
  acme:
    server: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
    email: nginx@ducoterra.net
    privateKeySecretRef:
      name: letsencrypt
    solvers:
    - selector:
        dnsZones:
          - "reeseapps.com"
      dns01:
        route53:
          region: us-east-1
          hostedZoneID: Z012820733346FJ0U4FUF
          accessKeyID: ${LE_ACCESS_KEY_ID}
          secretAccessKeySecretRef:
            name: prod-route53-credentials-cert-manager
            key: secret-access-key
EOF

kubectl apply -f secrets/route53-cluster-issuer.yaml
```

You can test if your ingress is working with:

```bash
# Navigate to demo.reeseapps.com
kubectl apply -f active/infrastructure_k3s/tests/ingress-nginx-test.yaml

# Cleanup
kubectl delete -f active/infrastructure_k3s/tests/ingress-nginx-test.yaml
```

## Test Minecraft Server

```bash
helm upgrade --install minecraft active/kubernetes_minecraft -n minecraft --create-namespace
```

## Automatic Updates

<https://docs.k3s.io/upgrades/automated>

```bash
kubectl create namespace system-upgrade
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/rancher/system-upgrade-controller/releases/latest/download/system-upgrade-controller.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/rancher/system-upgrade-controller/releases/latest/download/crd.yaml
kubectl apply -f active/infrastructure_k3s/upgrade-plan.yaml

# Check plan
kubectl get plan -n system-upgrade
```

## Database Backups

<https://docs.k3s.io/cli/etcd-snapshot>

Note, you must backup `/var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/token`
and use the contents as the toklisten when restoring the backup as data is encrypted with that token.

Backups are saved to `/var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/db/snapshots/` by default.

```bash
k3s etcd-snapshot save
k3s etcd-snapshot list

k3s server \
  --cluster-reset \
  --cluster-reset-restore-path=/var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/db/snapshots/on-demand-kube-1720459685
```

## Uninstall

```bash
/usr/local/bin/k3s-uninstall.sh
```
