+# Use Calico instead of Flannel
+If you want to use NetworkPolicy you can use Calico in k3s instead of Flannel.
+
+### 1. Download and modify the Calico descriptor
+You can following the [documentation](https://docs.projectcalico.org/master/reference/cni-plugin/configuration)
+
+And then you have to change the ConfigMap `calico-config`. On the `cni_network_config` add the entry for allowing IP forwarding  
+```json
+    "container_settings": {
+        "allow_ip_forwarding": true
+    }
+```
+Or you can directly use this [calico.yaml](calico.yaml) manifest
+
+## 2. Create the cluster without flannel and with calico
+On the k3s cluster creation :
+- add the flag `--flannel-backend=none`. For this, on k3d you need to forward this flag to k3s with the option `--k3s-server-arg`.
+- mount (`--volume`) the calico descriptor in the auto deploy manifest directory of k3s `/var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/manifests/`
+
+So the command of the cluster creation is (when you are at root of the k3d repository)
+```bash
+    k3d cluster create "${clustername}" --k3s-server-arg '--flannel-backend=none' --volume "$(pwd)/docs/usage/guides/calico.yaml:/var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/manifests/calico.yaml"
+```
+In this example :
+- change `"${clustername}"` with the name of the cluster (or set a variable). 
+- `$(pwd)/docs/usage/guides/calico.yaml` is the absolute path of the calico manifest, you can adapt it.
+
+You can add other options, [see](../commands.md).  
+
+The cluster will start without flannel and with Calico as CNI Plugin.
+
+For watching for the pod(s) deployment
+```bash
+    watch "kubectl get pods -n kube-system"    
+```
+
+You will have something like this at begining (with the command line `kubectl get pods -n kube-system`)
+```

+
+Note : 
+- you can use the auto deploy manifest or a kubectl apply depending on your needs
+- <!> Calico is not as quick as Flannel (but it provides more features)
