Running Multi-Node Kubernetes Using Docker
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
_Note_:
|
|
These instructions are somewhat significantly more advanced than the [single node](docker.md) instructions. If you are
|
|
interested in just starting to explore Kubernetes, we recommend that you start there.

## Prerequisites
|
|
1. You need a machine with docker installed.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
This guide will set up a 2-node kubernetes cluster, consisting of a _master_ node which hosts the API server and orchestrates work
|
|
and a _worker_ node which receives work from the master. You can repeat the process of adding worker nodes an arbitrary number of
|
|
times to create larger clusters.
|
|
|
|
Here's a diagram of what the final result will look like:

### Bootstrap Docker
|
|
This guide also uses a pattern of running two instances of the Docker daemon
|
|
1) A _bootstrap_ Docker instance which is used to start system daemons like ```flanneld``` and ```etcd```
|
|
2) A _main_ Docker instance which is used for the Kubernetes infrastructure and user's scheduled containers
|
|
|
|
This pattern is necessary because the ```flannel``` daemon is responsible for setting up and managing the network that interconnects
|
|
all of the Docker containers created by Kubernetes. To achieve this, it must run outside of the _main_ Docker daemon. However,
|
|
it is still useful to use containers for deployment and management, so we create a simpler _bootstrap_ daemon to achieve this.
|
|
|
|
## Master Node
|
|
The first step in the process is to initialize the master node.
|
|
|
|
See [here](docker-multinode/master.md) for detailed instructions.
|
|
|
|
## Adding a worker node
|
|
|
|
Once your master is up and running you can add one or more workers on different machines.
|
|
|
|
See [here](docker-multinode/worker.md) for detailed instructions.
|
|
|
|
## Testing your cluster
|
|
|
|
Once your cluster has been created you can [test it out](docker-multinode/testing.md)
|
|
|
|
