Deploying Ranger on Microk8s (on WSL2) with metallb and traefik
I am running Windows 11, and have enabled WSL2 with Ubuntu and Microk8s. This will deploy Rancher.
Install microk8s plugins and correct privileges
microk8s.enable dns storage traefik helm3 metallb
Allow running priviledged Pods (required by Rancher’s cattle-node-agent)
sudo sh -c 'echo "--allow-privileged=true" /var/snap/microk8s/current/args/kube-apiserver'
Restart:
sudo systemctl restart snap.microk8s.daemon-apiserver.service
Check the pods
microk8s.kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
Install cert-manager
microk8s.kubectl apply --validate=false -f https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.0.4/cert-manager.crds.yaml
microk8s.kubectl create namespace cert-manager
microk8s.helm3 repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io
microk8s.helm3 repo update
microk8s.helm3 install \
cert-manager jetstack/cert-manager \
--namespace cert-manager \
--version v1.0.4
Install Rancher
microk8s.kubectl create namespace cattle-system
microk8s.helm3 install rancher rancher-latest/rancher \
--namespace cattle-system \
--set hostname=rancher.woofy.io \
--set replicas=1
Wait for it to be ready:
microk8s.kubectl -n cattle-system rollout status deploy/rancher
Expose Rancher
microk8s.kubectl expose deployment rancher -n cattle-system --type=LoadBalancer --name=rancher-lb --port=443
Get details:
microk8s.kubectl get svc -n cattle-system -o wide
