Creating multi-master clusters
!!! info "Important note" For the best results (and less unexpected issues), choose 1, 3, 5, ... master nodes.
Embedded dqlite
Create a cluster with 3 master nodes using k3s' embedded dqlite database.
The first master to be created will use the --cluster-init
flag and k3d will wait for it to be up and running before creating (and connecting) the other master nodes.
k3d create cluster multimaser --masters 3
Adding master nodes to a running cluster
In theory (and also in practice in most cases), this is as easy as executing the following command:
k3d create node newmaster --cluster multimaster --role master
!!! important "There's a trap!"
If your cluster was initially created with only a single master node, then this will fail.
That's because the initial master node was not started with the --cluster-init
flag and thus is not using the dqlite backend.
