Get

You have several options there:

  • use the install script to grab the latest release:

    • wget: wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/k3d/master/install.sh | bash
    • curl: curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/k3d/master/install.sh | bash
  • use the install script to grab a specific release (via TAG environment variable):

    • wget: wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/k3d/master/install.sh | TAG=v3.0.0-beta.0 bash
    • curl: curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/k3d/master/install.sh | TAG=v3.0.0-beta.0 bash
  • use Homebrew: brew install k3d (Homebrew is available for MacOS and Linux)

  • install via AUR package rancher-k3d-bin: yay -S rancher-k3d-bin

  • grab a release from the release tab and install it yourself.

  • install via go: go install github.com/rancher/k3d (Note: this will give you unreleased/bleeding-edge changes)

or...

Build

  1. Clone this repo, e.g. via go get -u github.com/rancher/k3d
  2. Inside the repo run
    • 'make install-tools' to make sure required go packages are installed
  3. Inside the repo run one of the following commands
    • make build to build for your current system
    • go install to install it to your GOPATH (Note: this will give you unreleased/bleeding-edge changes)
    • make build-cross to build for all systems

Usage

Check out what you can do via k3d help or check the docs @ k3d.io

Example Workflow: Create a new cluster and use it with kubectl

  1. k3d create cluster CLUSTER_NAME to create a new single-node cluster (= 1 container running k3s)
  2. k3d get kubeconfig CLUSTER_NAME --switch to update your default kubeconfig and switch the current-context to the new one
  3. execute some commands like kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
  4. k3d delete cluster CLUSTER_NAME to delete the default cluster
