Minimal example of using kine

The following example uses kine with a mysql database for persistence.

A sample script is available to generate certs here But you also will need to use SAN instead of CN We have a example of the files you will need to generate the certs for the server

We can run mysql on a host using docker here you will also need the cnf file here

docker build -t mysql-kine .

docker run --name kine-mysql -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=$PASSWORD -d mysql-kine

this will start mysql db with everything you will need.

Running kine standalone

Run kine on the same host as mysql database:

kine --endpoint "mysql://root:$PASSWORD@tcp(localhost:3306)/kine"
--ca-file ca.crt --cert-file server.crt --key-file server.key

This will expose the mysql db as an etcd endpoint.

Using with k3s

You can use the following command to launch a k3s server with kine.

k3s server --datastore-endpoint "mysql://root:$PASSWORD@tcp(localhost:3306)/kine"
--datastore-cafile ca.crt --datastore-certfile server.crt --datastore-keyfile server.key

And that's it! You can now use k3s with mysql as a db.
