### **Prerequisite**
- [systemd](http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/) should be installed on your machine and should be enabled. The minimum version required at this moment (2015/05/28) is [215](http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/020903.html).
- [systemd](http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/) should be installed on the machine and should be enabled. The minimum version required at this moment (2015/09/01) is 219
*(Note that systemd is not required by rkt itself, we are using it here to monitor and manage the pods launched by kubelet.)*
- Install the latest rkt release according to the instructions [here](https://github.com/coreos/rkt).
The minimum version required for now is [v0.5.6](https://github.com/coreos/rkt/releases/tag/v0.5.6).
- Make sure the `rkt metadata service` is running because it is necessary for running pod in private network mode.
More details about the networking of rkt can be found in the [documentation](https://github.com/coreos/rkt/blob/master/Documentation/networking.md).
To start the `rkt metadata service`, you can simply run:
```console
$ sudo rkt metadata-service
```
If you want the service to be running as a systemd service, then:
```console
$ sudo systemd-run rkt metadata-service
```
Alternatively, you can use the [rkt-metadata.service](https://github.com/coreos/rkt/blob/master/dist/init/systemd/rkt-metadata.service) and [rkt-metadata.socket](https://github.com/coreos/rkt/blob/master/dist/init/systemd/rkt-metadata.socket) to start the service.
The minimum version required for now is [v0.8.0](https://github.com/coreos/rkt/releases/tag/v0.8.0).
- Note that for rkt version later than v0.7.0, `metadata service` is not required for running pods in private networks. So now rkt pods will not register the metadata service be default.
### Local cluster
To use rkt as the container runtime, you just need to set the environment variable `CONTAINER_RUNTIME`:
To use rkt as the container runtime, we need to supply `--container-runtime=rkt` and `--rkt-path=$PATH_TO_RKT_BINARY` to kubelet. Additionally we can provide `--rkt-stage1-image` flag
as well to select which [stage1 image](https://github.com/coreos/rkt/blob/master/Documentation/running-lkvm-stage1.md) we want to use.
If you are using the [hack/local-up-cluster.sh](../../../hack/local-up-cluster.sh) script to launch the local cluster, then you can edit the environment variable `CONTAINER_RUNTIME`, `RKT_PATH` and `RKT_STAGE1_IMAGE` to
set these flags:
```console
$ export CONTAINER_RUNTIME=rkt
$ export RKT_PATH=$PATH_TO_RKT_BINARY
$ export RKT_STAGE1_IMAGE=PATH=$PATH_TO_STAGE1_IMAGE
```
Then we can launch the local cluster using the script:
```console
$ hack/local-up-cluster.sh
```

### Debugging
Here are severals tips for you when you run into any issues.
##### Check logs
By default, the log verbose level is 2. In order to see more logs related to rkt, we can set the verbose level to 4.
For local cluster, we can set the environment variable: `LOG_LEVEL=4`.
If the cluster is using salt, we can edit the [logging.sls](../../../cluster/saltbase/pillar/logging.sls) in the saltbase.
##### Check rkt pod status
To check the pods' status, we can use rkt command, such as `rkt list`, `rkt status`, `rkt image list`, etc.
More information about rkt command line can be found [here](https://github.com/coreos/rkt/blob/master/Documentation/commands.md)
##### Check journal logs
As we use systemd to launch rkt pods(by creating service files which will run `rkt run-prepared`, we can check the pods' log
using `journalctl`:
- Check the running state of the systemd service:
```console
$ sudo journalctl -u $SERVICE_FILE
```
where `$SERVICE_FILE` is the name of the service file created for the pod, you can find it in the kubelet logs.
##### Check the log of the container in the pod:
```console
$ sudo journalctl -M rkt-$UUID -u $CONTAINER_NAME
```
where `$UUID` is the rkt pod's UUID, which you can find via `rkt list --full`, and `$CONTAINER_NAME` is the container's name.
##### Check Kubernetes events, logs.
Besides above tricks, Kubernetes also provides us handy tools for debugging the pods. More information can be found [here](../../../docs/user-guide/application-troubleshooting.md)
