Installing k3s on Mac M1?

[victorhooi]

Has anybody had any luck deploying k3s on M1 (Apple Silicon)?

I assume the only way is using Asahi Linux (https://asahilinux.org/), and installing k3s there? Is that well supported?

Or are there alternative ways?

(Somebody on Reddit mentioned trying it here - it's unclear from their comment, but it seems like maybe they were trying to run the k3s binary on macOS?)

Have you looked at Rancher Desktop?

[victorhooi]

macOS + Rancher Desktop is probably a bit heavy for what I want here.

I was thinking of just doing a lightweight headless OS just to run k8s workloads.

Is that possible?

[trinitronx]

Have you tried k3d?

brew install --cask docker
brew install k3d
git clone git@github.com:k3d-io/k3d-demo.git
cd k3d-demo/
k3d  cluster create demo --api-port 6550  --servers 3 --port 8080:80@loadbalancer --volume $(pwd)/sample:/src@all --wait

All the k3d containers should support native arm64:

$ docker images -q ghcr.io/k3d-io/* | xargs docker inspect   | jq '.[].Architecture'
"arm64"
"arm64"

[victorhooi]

Right - but using brew to install k3d implies you're running this on top of macOS?

If these machines are for running k8s workloads only - would it not make more sense to try something like Asahi Linux, and install k3s natively on top of that?

Or are there some reasons that's not necessarily a good idea?

Are there other ways to get k3s to run natively?

I ended up spinning up VMs with multipass and setting up k3s on Ubuntu. This seems to be easy solution.

$ brew install --cask multipass

$ multipass launch --name k3s --mem 4G --disk 40G

$ multipass shell k3s

ubuntu@k3s:~$ curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh -

ubuntu@k3s:~$ kubectl get nodes

Wrote a detailed tutorial on my blog https://avilpage.com/2022/10/local-kubernetes-with-k3s-on-mac.html.

[harveyjing]

Thank you for your guide. But I think the best choice is k3d. Just a few commands it will bring up a k3s cluster.

[ChillarAnand]

@harveyjing I agree with you. Thats why I wrote a follow up article on the same.

[clarkezone]

Has anyone tried k3s on Asahi yet? I’m thinking of trying this wondering if I’m the first or if others have gone thre

[ChillarAnand]

Not sure if this works in Asahi Linux. But, you could try running k3d which is a wrapper around k3s.

k3s - https://k3d.io/v5.4.9/
my blog post - https://avilpage.com/2023/03/setup-k8s-anywhere-k3d.html

[clarkezone]

@clarkezone did you tried it? Rancher Desktop running in Asahi Linux is able to work?

Sorry haven't yet had time but on the list. Sounds like will need a k3s recompile

[plsnotracking]

@rjocoleman @clarkezone what are you folks doing in the meantime? I don't mind recompiling the k3s binary and trying it out. Thanks.

[rjocoleman]

It's been resolved in k3s - check the release notes for the last couple or releases as it's fixed in one of those

[plsnotracking]

Forgot to post back, sorry, here if someone is interested in reading more about it - #7335. Thanks @rjocoleman.

this works (just overriding /cpu/procinfo with valid info from an actual amd64 cpu):
(If you want to avoid docker/k3d you can probably do a bind mount-equivalent or maybe use LD_PRELOAD to override the file read syscall)

k3d cluster create --image docker.io/rancher/k3s:v1.29.6-k3s2-amd64 -v `pwd`/cpuinfo:/proc/cpuinfo 

[vivekpatani]

@ozzieba curious, what does this mean in terms of running k3s on MacOS? Just curious. My assumption was doing k3d would mean it's a local only cluster. Thanks.

[clarkezone]

Just checking back here, what's the latest on k3s on a M series Mac. Does it work out of the box?

[ozzieba]

It'll work out of the box with Arm architecture. If you want to run under Rosetta/AMD64 architecture, you'll need to apply the workaround above

[plsnotracking]

@ozzieba thanks for sharing that. This is for Asahi Linux right, not MacOS?
