# P5x `api-server`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
P5x is a set of tools for running a Kubernetes cluster on LXC containers in Proxmox. The `api-server` is the central component of the P5x system that handles interactions between Kubernetes and the underlying Proxmox infrastructure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `api-server` is a necessary component to run any part of the P5x system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Deployment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### P5x Storage Setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
P5x requires a small amount of persistent storage for its system database. This is accomplished with a local path on a Kubernetes node.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Pick an LXC container in your K8s cluster that the P5x API server will run on.
|
||
|
|
2. Create a new disk in Proxmox (may not be NFS storage) and mount it at `/mnt/p5x-system-data` on the LXC container.
|
||
|
|
3. Update `deploy/20-volume.yaml` and replace the `control.k8s` hostname in the `nodeSelectorTerms` with the hostname of your K8s LXC container.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Deploy API Server to Kubernetes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create a file with the necessary environment variables:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```yaml
|
||
|
|
# 10-environment.yaml
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
apiVersion: v1
|
||
|
|
kind: Secret
|
||
|
|
metadata:
|
||
|
|
name: api-env
|
||
|
|
namespace: p5x-system
|
||
|
|
type: Opaque
|
||
|
|
stringData:
|
||
|
|
P5X_API_HOST: "" # fully-qualified hostname or IP address of your Proxmox VE server
|
||
|
|
P5X_API_ROOT_PASSWORD: ""
|
||
|
|
P5X_STORAGE_POOL: "" # name of your Proxmox VE storage pool -- MUST be network storage shared between nodes
|
||
|
|
P5X_STORAGE_DRIVER: "lvm" # what type of driver the storage pool uses ('lvm' or 'nfs')
|
||
|
|
P5X_K8S_ROOT_PASSWORD: "" # FOR FUTURE USE - you can just fill in a random string here for now
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Apply the environment secret and create the rest of the P5x API resources:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
kubectl apply -f deploy/0-namespace.yaml -f 10-environment.yaml -f deploy
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In your Kubernetes cluster, in the `p5x-system` namespace, you should now see a `p5x-api-server-0` pod successfully boot.
